Clever way of doing it mate. Also, shoutout to the car at 3:13 for not running the stop sign

[@gabeo9474]

I read this comment at that exact moment lol

[@jayrenner7565]

I use the trailer hitch on the back of my SUV. Set the tire down along the receiver's centerline, throw a scissor jack between the receiver hitch and the tire and start cranking. The jack's base is almost a copy of a tire store's presser foot. Works great too.

[@albertfinney1328]

Great idea, more my speed. Don`t have to look for some lumber.

[@AerialLensVideo]

Well done! I tried it on two 23 year big and OLD trailer tires and it did not quite get it (practically welded to the rim amazing as that sounds), so ended up using a farm jack as a clamp. I think your technique helped a lot and got it started.

[@smitteninthemitten3777]

Cool. Glad it helped.

Great! I've been commissioned to help my husband do this later today. I'll be back on here with more good comments if it works!

Good luck!

its really cute how ladies will watch videos when asked to do something out of pocket, so they don't mess it up. i know a few guys who could use that advice to save a few hours and the ibuprofen supply

[@albertfinney1328]

Humm. Didn`t work or forgot. I`m guessing forgot.

[@albertfinney1328]

@@ruutjormun2262 Nice comment. so they don`t mess it up. Offenders with fragile egos would be so insulted. I had a failed heating system water valve, deep in a horrible very shallow crawl space in an OLD house. Guy who actually does installations for a living offered to fix it. He went down with new valve, a torch, copper tubing and other things ”necessary.” I went along to watch and maybe help. He cut copper water supply line to remove the valve, and, to my horror, dried the pipe with with the torch, remarkably, without incinerating us both, and managed to install the new valve. Not prepared for another nerve wracking experience when another valve failed, with on line help, I went down myself with a new valve, flashlight, and an off set screwdriver. Installing a new one took minutes. I`m actually a 7Oish woman, with a very mechanical mind. YT requested one and that just popped up. I never told the initial installer as I have never told a man I can readily see what he cannot~an old `his ego` and old and stupid his ego thing. though many have told me I cannot do something, when, very clearly, I know I CAN, and do. Aint life a laff! Great post. Just what I was looking for. Found another on fixing my one power windows. Told two hours and double the cost I got the part for. A hundred bucks and a hour of my time VS estimate of FIVE hundred bucks. I LOVE KZbin DIYers.

[@rickyphillips7469]

Nice! This showed up first on my Google search and this will be the way I use tomorrow to get a bad tire off of it's rim. Thanks!

How about using a c-clamp to break the bond? 😊

[@tomkoolman]

If you soap the bead at the before roll up the stick, it would be much easier

[@DontCryAboutIt]

This method is acceptable if you're not planning to reuse the tires. If you deflate the tire as much as possible with the valve core is still installed, you greatly reduce have a risk of it launching itself. If you have clip on weights it's a good idea to remove them right after deflation

[@stump648]

Many thanks for posting this video playboy

[@Makis0007]

Thanks for letting me know this is not a DIY job. The amount of time it takes to do one tire (not to mention four) is not a good investment unless it’s just for fun.

[@PurpleMomgoose]

Depends how hard up you are, I guess

[@cozmo2727]

that part... let me go spend this $30 at the tire shop 🙄

[@richardsiewsankar4213]

Its 100 here in Canada.

[@Makis0007]

I apologize for my ignorance and hypocrisy. I tried it and it went very well. Looked intimidating but it went very well. Better than I expected. Thanks for the video. Shame on me.

[@martyhonda6983]

For those using pry bars make sure the edges are rounded off and smooth or else you will tear up the bead on the tire ..good job

[@Wayed-o4y]

Thanks for sharing 👍 😮😊

[@MaffiLu]

well that beads the angle grinder method no in all honesty, that is genius - i got a lot of junk wheels and i gotta get the tires off. thanks :D

[@paulamurley6088]

Oh wow!! Lol I'm definitely trying that!!

Genius ! Thanks.

[@bitcoin....2411]

Thank you !

[@Adahop]

Okay so what I learned from this is that it's worth my time to just go to Discount Tire and ask them to pop my tires off 😂

[@ArtzFenix]

Very helpful. Thanks

[@challengerbrant]

is there a reason why everyone uses the font (visible side of the rim to take the tire off - can you not do it opposite way and remove from the backside incase you visual scratch or nick the rim?

[@epmcdonald4562]

That would be smart way to do it .

[@colinjohnson4799]

Yes there is, it makes it a lot harder to take off because of the valve stim and stuff gets in the way and you risk damaging it

[@douglasgreen437]

Incredible..

[@PurpleMomgoose]

When I remove the tyre, is it possible to put it into a new wheel? Like, does this removal technique damage the tyre??

[@smitteninthemitten3777]

I’d not recommend doing it with a good tire, and I’ve never tried putting one back on like this. I wouldn’t recommend it.

[@sdfv4zx]

I paid the tire shop or walmart 25buck to take out tire and put in new for just 1 tire.

[@flamingw...9570]

Hey 👋 that was cool

[@smitteninthemitten3777]

Thanks

[@royblue87]

I have 6 tires got to get these rims out

[@jeffhelton2735]

Years go that would not had worked we tried it lol. Steel wheels loves to rust against bead of the old bias tires lol

[@jeffhelton2735]

Old tire jack is this best ways came with cars in the 60s and 70s. What your doing does not always work back side of tire with raise up on ground depending how old long the tire has been on steel wheel mags are easier to break loose they want rust

[@andrethechosenone]

I have 3 tires I need the rims to come off

[@anthonyviteggo3440]

thank you for the video

[@smitteninthemitten3777]

You’re welcome

[@programmer78]

In the case of your life depends on the tyre - no questions. But IRL side effects of such a procedure aren't worthy the result. Which side effects? One may damage bumper of the car (if wood stick slides), may damage cabin if wheel jumps at the last moment, may scratch the rim, using metal tools for removing tyre. It's 21st centure! I used this way back in 1993, when I was a 15 yo boy and we didn't have tyre service in my town. The method is functional, but it is using tools, it is dangerous and dirty. But respect to the author for reminding.

[@LifeWithEmin]

Soooo if i take off a tire using this technique wouldnt it damage the tire and make it un usable?

[@smitteninthemitten3777]

Probably, but the video isn’t called, the easiest way to remove, save and reinstall a good tire.

[@tiffanypayne9255]

Now how do we get it back on

[@andrethechosenone]

U do that to the tire and what does it break sir?

[@smitteninthemitten3777]

Doesn’t break anything. I wouldn’t do it to a good tire.

[@connorhutton-ym8xc]

How do I make sure I'm not damaging my chrome wheels while doing this?

[@smitteninthemitten3777]

I didn’t say it was the best way, only that it was an easy way.

[@ralphinator2]

Put a piece of plywood under the wheel.

[@matthewstorm5188]

I’ve not tried this. But maybe you could get a length of rubber hose and put a slice in it lengthwise so that you can slip it over the rim to protect it. A thicker hose would obviously be better.

[@chrishayes5755]

tape some foam around your prybar where it contacts the rim

[@joeyfarkel479]

KOOL!!!! THANKS

[@steebo3343]

Do you have to remove the valve core?

[@smitteninthemitten3777]

If most of the air is out, I doubt it. This isn’t exactly surgical. Lol.

[@chrishayes5755]

yes. the answer is yes. unless you want to blow up your tire.

[@williamta9408]

I wan see you put it back on

[@rosskelly8268]

Be real careful using that technique of driving up on a 4 by 4.... Every now and then the wheel will flip up and slap your fender, potentially causing $hundreds of damage.

[@sammyalsalihi5571]

Bravo !!

[@TomorrowTom1337]

Lol, now I just need a second car because we've removed the tire from the first car..

[@tiredmum7]

I want to try this: I have 14 year old tires on rims that no shop will remove, and I have to pay to dispose of. If I remove the tires, maybe i can sell the rims.

[@smitteninthemitten3777]

Good luck!

[@bobgosnell5866]

The only way to remove tires.while the tire is compressed stick your sawzall in and cut it across.

[@Carlos-dw9rz]

Saws all would do it in 30 seconds

[@chrishayes5755]

doesn't cut through the bead. need an angle grinder for that.

[@justinberry3991]

Life hack: do away with the board and wedge the tire under your front rolling tire

Bummer. Sorry it didn’t work.

[@josegarcia-th3pj]

it's a lot of work and surprise the tire need balance

[@edwardmonroe9274]

I love it how all these videos about taking the tire off the rim are with brand new tires and tread. What a joke.

[@mack3141]

My guy, deep breath, there are other reasons to separate a tire from its rim

[@curtiszzzchicago]

SMH...

[@tibtb658]

Dont work ! Tire doesn’t just pop off. You cut yours maybe

[@smitteninthemitten3777]

Nope. Worked for me.

[@chrishayes5755]

remove the valve core, otherwise the tire stays pressurized and will probably explode at the sidewall instead of allowing the bead to be pushed down.

[@iluv30s]

Doesn’t work

[@fitness0791]

Just a few complaints about your technique... first things first you need to explain to people that you should place the rim front facing down on an old piece of carpet or something similar as to not scratch the front facing side surface of the rim... then explain that facing the rim front faced down means that you'll be removing the tire from the backside of the rim using hand tools that could very possibly damage the front facing surface causing irreparable damage... so next time remove the tire from the rim especially if they are anything but steel with hubcaps or unless your absolutely not concerned about damaging your front facing rim causing damage that can't be repaired thus not saving you any money let alone $5-$15 per tire is not worth the effort or the money if damage to the rim happens during removal/replacement of the new/old tires... great job otherwise but details matter... thanks for posting next time front rim facing down on an old piece of plush carpet or similar material would be best...

[@stevesmith-ny8jb]

If the person is so stupid as to drop their rim face down on the concrete...well they just need a bus pass.

[@eclips8510]

Don't know where you live that this is only $5, but in the northeast a tire mount costs $15-$30 per tire.

[@spoileralert8440]

@@roberth9188 Or you could work an extra hour, earn way more than $10 and then pay a shop $10 to take this headache off your hands. Money doesn't grow on trees, but your time/life on this planet is not infinite.
