Finding & Repairing A Bead Leak On My Automotive Tires

[@jack002tuber]

[@sunny5rising]

Thank you. It was fun to build.

Mr. Charlie: Amazing tutorial, you know how to do your thing fast & easy and your teaching skills are just perfect, simple and quick. You Just got a new subscriber

[@sunny5rising]

Thank you for the compliments. Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@mrkhalode]

Thank you Charlie for this video, it was so helpful. I have a 2006 Lexus LS430 came with premium chrome wheels. After several years of using it on daily basis driving, all four wheels started to slowly leak air. When i checked them i found some wheels leaking air from both front and back beads, how frustrating is that. I tried several products, i went to consult with several workshops with no answers or benefits at all. I was lucky to find your video and followed your instructions, cleaned the rims then removed the corrosion, the last thing i placed 3 coats of a bead sealer. Surprisingly, problem was solved for a very long time. Last thing i would like to mention in my case is that i have to continue to do this method every time i put on a new tires. I thought i should share my experience with you all, one might need it.

[@sunny5rising]

Excellent! Glad it worked out for you. Thank you for your input.

[@srlbotanical]

I like the valve stem attached to the core removal tool. Great trick! I also love the various homemade tools. I can tell you've been doing this a while. Thanks for a great video.

[@oldskoolfunk71]

Great Videos Charlie, you are very sharp and innovative, you handle your content and process like a BOSS! Keep the videos coming we need more DIYers like you to keep us moving forward God Bless.

[@sunny5rising]

Thanks for the compliments, oldskool. In process of making more videos. Looks like you yourself have an interesting channel. Keep it up.

[@HappyGuyCMB]

Loved this! The fast motion parts cracked me up, but they were done just at the right parts. A good lesson in "the right tools for the job." Your simple improvised gadgets are clever. This video takes me back to the Dark Ages, before the time when you could learn just about anything from KZbin. I once spent an afternoon wrestling a tube tire off of my motorcycle rim with just a couple of screw drivers and a lot of swearing. At the moment, I've got a bead leak on my motorcycle wheel that sometimes leaks and sometimes doesn't. The current plan has been to "air up" before a ride and take the pump with me . . .

[@sunny5rising]

+HappyGuyCMB Glad you enjoyed it. Yeah, I've played that "air up" game here and there, lol.

[@sunny5rising]

Thanks. It worked for 10 months, then the corrosion came back. I then made an update video on using bead sealer. Have had no problems since.

[@timothymanganaro2243]

excellent editing on this video. nice use of fast forward.

[@sunny5rising]

+Timothy Manganaro Thanks Timothy, :)

[@sunny5rising]

I use the portable bubble balancer from harbor freight tools. I know some people don't like bubble balancing, but it seems to work just fine for me for speeds up to 70mph, just have to take your time and double check things. Have never tried balancing beads, no. I use the stick-on weights for alloy rims and clip-on weights for steel. I want to build a vertical gravity balancer like what is used for motorcycle tires, but haven't gotten to that yet.

[@jschirr]

this is one of the best videos i have seen on this topic

[@sunny5rising]

+jschirr Thanks for the compliment.

[@shawnbottomley6381]

Thanks for the video, it helped me see what need fixing on my rim which my mechanic is going to fix next week for me.

[@sunny5rising]

Hope you got it taken care of. :)

[@lightlight6580]

Very helpful video, my friend. Detailed explanation . Walking through process. Well done

[@sunny5rising]

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@sunny5rising]

As long as the corrosion does not come back, then it can of course, be permanent. Priming the beads is a GREAT idea, and something I should have done. My corrosion came back so I ended up using bead sealer (as seen in my other, more recent, video). Hope it all works out for you, and thanks for the compliment.

[@rjrellis99]

Excellent video. Appreciate your innovations. Lastly, perhaps treating the aluminum rims after clean-up with Alodine (aluminum corrosion inhibitor used in the aircraft industry) might be a good consideration help prevent future corrosion and bead leaks.

[@sunny5rising]

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the video. I'll have to look into this Alodine.

[@JazzLowrider]

This is the most professional DIY video about this topic I've ever seen just great instructions thank you for taking the time this is a big help, Tire shops wouldn't do as good of a job, because they just want to sell you stuff instead of fixing it A+++

[@sunny5rising]

Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@Jay_Dahl]

Great video! I'm dealing with this same problem right now. Chrome rims look good, but they sure don't last forever. I had a tire shop clean up the corrosion on the rim, but the problem on my 14 year old car returned a year later, just like happened to you. Lately the problem is so bad that I have to put air in the tire once a week. It's the accumulation of silly little annoying problems like this that make you want to go out and buy a new car. I've heard some of the online tire retailers will ship you a tires already mounted & balanced on new rims of your choice. That might not be a bad idea if you also need new tires. You could do the whole job yourself, without any special tools, and not have to worry about any more rim leaks for a long time. Of course the downside is that you have to buy new rims.

[@stevenkerwin4041]

I was having trouble mounting by hand. I liked the bead holder shown in this video. After thinking about the shape and so on, I decided to use two line wrenches as bead holders. One was 7/8" and one was 13/16". The line wrenches worked great.

[@sunny5rising]

Great idea!

[@sunny5rising]

Thanks for the compliments. Glad you enjoyed the video. :)

[@sunny5rising]

Thanks for the compliment. I put up another video a little while ago on this, but using Bead Sealer this time around. So far, no problems. ;)

[@wsvitak]

The rim leaks at the bead and I wasn't sure how to fix,I will definitely give is a try....thanks again....nice homemade tools by the way goes to show you don't have to pay the tire shop to do every little thing for u and u can do it in the convenience of your own home

[@sunny5rising]

Agreed, they do easily corrode. In my case, it started with the clip on wheel weights.

[@gringopig]

Excellent video! Had the same issue. New tires and a 20 psi/week leak. Just enough to be annoying. Thanks for the video.

[@sunny5rising]

You're welcome. Thanks for the compliment.

[@dougfiveash]

Love you home made tire changer, great video, I would love to see how you made the changer and your bead helper. Awsome video!

[@Lotsoblackguns]

A most excellent video and killer homemade tools...! Ten thumbs up...!!!

[@sunny5rising]

Lotsoblackguns Thanks man

[@busancun]

I have two winter tires that got dents on the bead from the dirty residual accumulated on the rim edge that make the tire leak permanently in winter when it is below zero. I cleaned the rim edge as you did, but not work. I have ordered bead sealer to try as a last resort. If they are still leaky, I have to change tires.

[@gorp27]

Great video. Fantastic ideas with the homemade duck bill tire tool and the bead holder. Keep up the good work.

[@sunny5rising]

Thanks gorp. Feel free to copy those ideas. The tools come in handy. :)

[@josephperry4344]

[@H4v0kksh0tgunMan]

Thanks for your help buddy. Been wrenching a long time but just did my first set of wheel repair. Worked like a charm. Thumbs up from me.

[@sunny5rising]

Awesome! Glad it worked for ya.

[@schneidp20]

Do you have a video on your home made tire changer? That thing is awesome!

[@sunny5rising]

Thanks, David. I did start making a video on it a while back, but haven't finished it. Guess I had best get on it. Speaking of awesome... Did you build that hovercraft in your picture? I bought some plans some time ago for one, but have yet to even start on that project, lol.

[@sunny5rising]

Yep, that's the best way to do it. That's just what I plan to do if/when they start leaking again. And I will definitely use the bead sealer when It's time to mount a new set of tires.

[@sunny5rising]

I have wire wheeled both steel and alloy wheels with no problems. With the vehicle in this video, I'm pretty sure the problems started sometime after the new tires were installed and balanced with clip-on wheel weights, which chipped the protective coating on the rims. Now I mount and balance them myself and use stick-on wheel weights.

[@TAKOYA4REAL]

very nice work!!! now I'm educated on on what my tire is going threw ....wait till nissan finds out I'm aware of, all the in outs of my tire.. thank u!!

[@sunny5rising]

Thank you!

[@lpsalsaman]

@@sunny5rising Welcome!

[@mashtones]

Well done. Easy to follow. If the bead seat corrosion was worse could you use a dremel type tool to smooth it out a little more? Body filler?

[@sunny5rising]

Others have suggested something to that effect... along with sealing it with a clear coat, when done. Don't know have not tried it. My updated video uses bead sealer, which so far, has solved the problem for now.

[@andrewyek]

hii Charlie nice home made tool there.. wish can make a dynamic wheel balancer too.. :=) btw, i used to work in my aunt's tire workshop.. we have experience to say that the wheel will rust away using soap as lubricant. some uses used motor oil as lubricant.. good.. but the tire bead will get wear off.. ... so.. i guess both soap and motor oil are not good option.. wonder if silicone grease will do.. for normal car.. as for truck, we are not allowed to use any lub on the wheel (usually not required).. because sometime tire slip when the truck carry heavy load uphill.

[@sunny5rising]

+andrew ysk Yeah, I can see how the soap could be an issue with the truck tires. Building a dynamic balancer... that would be interesting for sure.

CHARLIE, VERY DETAILED THANK YOU!

[@anubisgomez88]

My tire leaks from where it doesn't seal. Ill do the same steps as you did in your video. Thanks for the info.

[@andrewwilson8317]

The rim corrosion stems from the clip on balance weight. The clip cuts through the coating to expose raw alloy. Then galvanic corrosion sets up between the two dissimilar metals with salt water being the electrolyte. I fit alloys with sick on weights to prevent this happening. There is a seat and seal compound that helps seal leaks like this once cleaned up. Works great and readily available online from eBay etc.

[@sunny5rising]

Andrew Wilson Thanks, Andrew. Yeah, I found this out sometime later. I did rebalance them using stick-on weights and did use a sealer in a later video. Thanks for commenting.

[@fnq-8890]

Mate well done on this leaky bead Vid, it's helpful to everyone .. Cheers.

[@sunny5rising]

+Queenslander Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@junkman6261]

Love it man! Great job and I need to build me one of those tire changers too! Keep the videos coming.

[@sunny5rising]

In my case, it seems that when balancing the tires, the mechanic chipped the protective coating in the bead area when hammering on the wheel weights. And with that, galvanic corrosion commenced soon after. Although steel wheels may have a different cause, they too can certainly corrode.

[@Danroxye01]

Great video, Thanks for sharing, good idea that tool for pulling out the tire lip over the rim , protecting it with a rag. But while pulling The Bottom tire lip , no protection ???

[@sunny5rising]

Thanks. Yeah I hear you. At the time of this video, I hadn't yet machined the plastic sleeve for the rod I used on the bottom bead.

I had a rim the same or worse than the one on the video.i took it to a tire shop and they did same thing but added 2 Xtra steps. They apply rim bead sealer and on the ugly part added silicone to seal the small air leak that was left

[@Handirifle]

Nice work. I have a tractor tire with the same issue I need to address. Am building my own tire machines as well. Explain, if you would, what the pieces were you placed on the rim, the blue disk and the parallel steel shafts, when securing it to the machine. Nice video, well done.

[@sunny5rising]

Glad you enjoyed the video. The blue piece is a piece of plastic cutting board. The parallel pieces are angle iron welded to a thick washer. The plastic piece is so I don't scratch the wheel.

good video charlie. I'm most impressed with your home made tire machine. Do you think you could do a video on how to build it? Been looking at other store bought manual machines but they all seem to be junk. It looks fairly simple yet very effective. Love the bit at the end. If you cant have fun in life then stay in bed is what i always say........

[@sunny5rising]

Thanks for the compliment. Other folks have also asked for building details. It is on my list, I just haven't been quite sure of the best way to present it. Suggestions are welcome. I actually did start filming the video several months ago, but got sidetracked and didn't get very far.

[@oceancolours]

Great vid, Just wonder what part of the tyre actually makes the air tight seal? At 09.51 you see the tyre. So that smooth flat edge, about 10mm across on my tyres, (kind of a pointed triangular tip) is not what makes the seal? Is it the bit higher up on the sidewall that makes the seal with the rim? I'm asking cos I have a tyre with a crack/damage in that flat edge area from a previous rim removal & I'm wondering if I can still use the tyre or if it'll leak. Ta.

[@lukeFugate]

[@wsvitak]

You balance ur tires at home too? Can I ask what method you use to balance like a bubble balancer or do you have a homemade balancer too? I want remove the tires and repair the rim, but I'd like to be able to balance the tires as well. If you use a homemade. Ethos a vid would be great. I was thinking of getting a bubble balancer than throwing some ceramic balance beads to finish it off. Have you ever used them at all? If so any luck with em....thanks again

I must install new valve stem in aluminum truck wheel, the valve stem can actually be rotated in the bore, so I inflate tire before truck leaves my driveway. A pain, but till I get around to changing it I will inflate . Truck only leaves yard once or twice a week, so it is bearable till I fix it.

[@Ilovetosingem]

Hi Charlie Nice, informative and straight to the point. Could you please tell me what pressure do I need in order to reset the rim when it pops. I have an electric car pump which I run off the lighter socket. Thanks in advance and Cheers.

[@sunny5rising]

+Ilovetosingem The pressure needed will depend on several factors, really. All I do is lubricate the bead area on the wheel and tire, then keep applying air till it pops into place. It might take longer, but your small pump should the job alright, as long as there is not much leakage around the bead area during the process.

[@Ilovetosingem]

[@seans2061]

Is this a permanent or long-term/temporary fix? I am about to have this done, and my mechanic mentioned priming the rim after sanding (just on the beads). I am considering purchasing aftermarket rims, but the repair may be a better choice if the fix is either permanent or long-term. Thanks for making the video!! Well done.

[@RednexRool]

Can the exact same process be used to clean allow rims. I got a 2002 Dodge Ram with 21" alloy rims and all four wheels have a slow leak. I have not taken the tires off the truck yet to check where the leak is coming from, but the fact that all four are leaking is a pretty good indicator the allow rims are shot. Can allow rims be wire wheeled the same as steel? Thanks for the video and any advice you can give.

[@sunny5rising]

Thanks. Have at it... and let us see how yours turns out. :)

[@vistron888]

If you can find a suitable container to fill with water you can also sit the tyre in there and revolve to check for leaks. Would it be possible to clean up the corrosion with just breaking the bead? I believe there is also a sealant you can buy which can be applied along it. Also how well would a manual bead breaker like yours work on a sports low profile tyre, for example a 205/45? Would it be possible or too much hard work? Thanks. Good vid.

[@sunny5rising]

Yes, I have seen containers just for that purpose... tire/inner tube dipping. Some of the corrosion will come off of the wheel during the bead break, but I've never seen it take all of it off. Yeah, I did another video using the bead sealant, link in description. :) Haven't used my setup for a low profile tire, so I don't know for sure if it would be a problem or not.

[@vistron888]

Cheers. From the force needed for you to break yours I'm guessing taking a low profile off would likely require a hell of a lot more and maybe some spare underpants.

[@sunny5rising]

I'd like to upgrade the breaker handle to 1" thick as opposed to its 3/4" thickness now AND make it a slightly longer handle. Till then, I'll keep the spare underpants handy, lol.

[@DaSurgeEO]

What I do is remove the tire from the rim clean the bead area in the rim with a metal brush and add bead sealer which is really good stuff. Put the tire back on and boom. Fixed

Great video, thanks man! I have an aluminum rim with a slow leak just like yours-- hope I can fix it like you did. Just one little question, is there a reason you use one of them “old school “ tire gauges instead of a gauge with dial face or even a digital readout?

[@sunny5rising]

The inside flat is part of the sealing area. I too have damaged that area on occasion. Depending on the severity of the damage, it might still be reusable. If the damage is too bad though, then for safety, don't even try to remount the tire. That's my opinion, and I stick by it, lol. :)

[@edwardmurray2958]

My car was from Florida and all the rims have had leaks. Had two of them sent off to a shop that does the work to stop the leak. But I am trying to do one right now and I am grinding the corrosion off now. How smooth does the area have to be? Mine do not look as bad as your example but they are bad. I have at least four spots. I wire brushed them and used a grinding wheel on my Dremel to smooth it out.

[@sunny5rising]

+Edward Murray If yours looks better than mine, then you might be OK, just have to check after it's pressurized. In the description is a link to my other tire video where I used bead sealer around the rim. It's definitely a good way to go, if need be.

You stated both wheels were corroded the same on inside tire bead, and I'm suspicious that maybe fluid from bleeding the breaks could have caused this.

2007 dodge charger has same issue on one wheel. Isn't it a good idea to hit it with some Rustoleum Clear after wire brush??

[@sunny5rising]

I have never used any bead sealer before. If and when the leaks comes back, I will probably give it a try though.

[@sunny5rising]

Never worked on a motorcycle rim, but I don't see why it would be any different really. Just find the leaky spot with the soap, break the bead in that area and check for corrosion (as in my case) or a lodged foreign object. Just make sure to get the wheel/tire rebalanced when you're done, or get one of those motorcycle wheel balancing stands to check/correct it yourself. Just my 2-cents. :)

How much success have you had with keeping the Caddy smooth at freeway speeds? I've owned five different H/K/G body gm cars and they all tended to vibrate at 65mph + for various reasons. Right now I'm battling the same problem on my 00 DeVille and I'm fairly convinced its a tire balance problem that the local shop can't seem to sort out.

[@sunny5rising]

Fortunately, I have not had any vibration problems... even at 70. Has the shop tried the "on car" balancing method? This, of course, will take into account the rotors and such.
