Two ways to break a tire bead: with a piece of wood or scissor jack

[@DieselRamcharger]

your supposed to sit on the bead breaker handle :)

Great! I'd be ejected straight to Mars before Elon gets there.

Awesome video. Not overly serious and has some humor! We all need that!

[@barrybabbot7481]

That baby car joke was legit funny. Even went to the trouble of adding some afterbirth XD

[@mi-kwan_tait8031]

Your accent made this video much more enjoyable. Thank you lol

[@wackedoutdude]

Another easy way to break the tyre bead is to use a spade, just put the Spade on the edge of the tyre and jump on it with some strong footwear. Just like you are digging straight into the ground. The tyre will pop straight off the bead, we do it all the time. Works perfectly.

[@Micky4Metals]

Great stuff .. you could also cut a curved bit of wood to help with scissor jack

[@kjohns1413]

Hey man I do all my own tires with the harbor freight changer too! Balancer as well. Good tips!

[@JonnyDIY]

0:13 the birth to your son joke! 🤣💕👏👍

[@SholaOjeleye]

Thank you. been having issues breaking the bead of a stubborn tire

[@justacoustic-guitar]

How did you cut a round edge on your wood? Thank a lot for sharing

[@jayjaynella4539]

You have to take a 4 year course in college for a woodcutting degree. Cost of $100,000 plus interest. 😆

[@JonnyDIY]

Jigsaw 👍

[@daffyduk77]

For a small tyre, try a large G-clamp, perhaps with plywood pieces at each side if you can fit them in. Would take longer but no need for a car or a jack

[@patrickpk6299]

Thanks buddy...I had a 30 year old atv tire that was pretty much bonded to the rim. Wood and car @2:07 finally got it off after i tried about 10 other methods. was about to get out the sawzall haha

[@derektorres6260]

I wish I had seen this before I got the sawzall out

[@mattdathew2794]

damn, thank you so much. the 2nd method is really a killer, it's the one am gonna use

[@thehojo15]

Tired the jack and straps, tried the 4x4x8 and my truck, tried the soap around the rim plus the wood on the tire and my truck but nothing works.

[@נוחיחזקאל]

Brake fluid.

[@dadirtydawg7789]

This video was awesome. Learned a new trick & had a few laughs

[@Sergio.Cadonna]

I had the same problem with my tyre changer. I will try your method!

[@eddiexxx6546]

absolutely awesome job bro!!! 👏👏👏👏👏

[@ridemfast7625]

Scissor jack looks like a great idea! I need to replace cracked valve stems and reuse the tire. Will the scissor jack method destroy/tear/ruin the sidewall cords that are inside the tire? It looks like it puts a lot of pressure on the sidewall. Something curved that puts pressure closer to the bead may be better?

[@marshmower]

-Why the 2x6 may be better

[@billrimmer5596]

U r a man of many talents. I like the 2x6 method. Cutting the shape of the rim was really cool. It’s funny, I don’t c u getting used tires and putting them on your car. You’re more the go to Costco and get Michelin’s for your car. Although patching the tire from the inside would necessitate breaking the bead. I admit I usually plug em. I know, “Bad Boy, Bad Boy whatcha gonna do?”

[@fun_ghoul]

As long as you're not plugging the sidewall, anyway. 🤣🤣🤣

[@vuaeco]

Thanks Bill. I haven't bought any new tires for the last 15 years!

[@nickmeier9356]

Good on ya mate. I will remember these tips when I’m outback

[@tonyc7352]

I love ingenuity like this! Fantastic, keep doing what you're doing.

[@GraceBaptistChurch-l3v]

I still have not seen anyone use the best method I have used many times to break the bead of a tire.... lower the brake rotor onto the tire (put a little piece of 2x4 under the brake rotor.......

[@juliosdiy3206]

Dahaaam u smart now i will try ur ideas n tricks with the wood at home n the jack at the junk yard.

[@andreweast2121]

First time i used that harbor bead breaker i bent the bead bracket sideways

[@1badombre82]

This is so much easier if you dont have pretty and thin aluminum wheels that you don't want to break or scratch

[@colinkennedy908]

Very good. Congrats on baby. Funny stuff!!

[@seansafety8212]

Love it. It works great. Thank you.

[@generalawareness101]

Having very bad wrists pain with TCS in both I would never be able to do what you did at the beginning of the vid any longer. Last year yes, this year no.

EDIT: I probably should have watched before commenting! Ouf. -Sounds like you need the power version!- kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6qkaGZmgLCCbsU

[@karkule5919]

If the tire is junk and you're replacing it, just cut it across once and easily peel it off the rim, it's easier and might even be quicker too.

Why the heck do you need to change tyres yourself?...surely its difficult to place the lil weights n balance the new tyre ?....i get mine done by garage n let the do all the hard work, the prices are so competitive that its not worth trying to do it myself....but entertaining vid as always, well done mate😁

[@fun_ghoul]

Theory: Vu is doing us poor bastards who can't just crack open the wallet at will a solid, or real hillbillies far from a garage for that matter. I don't own a car any longer, but if I did, I'd gladly welcome more options to DIY!

[@vuaeco]

Hi Andrew, my wife asked me the same question. Why do I need to do these stuffs myself. I said one day when I get old (still very young now! LOL) and don't have any more teeth, I'll make my own denture and probably one for her, too! :D

[@vuaeco]

@@fun_ghoul No more car? Are you off the grid?

[@fun_ghoul]

@@vuaeco I've been priced out of driving for years. I drove a Corolla completely illegally with a bum plate from the scrapyard for a year spanning 2015-16, but eventually was caught and the car impounded. Could have been a lot worse, too: I was caught in Quebec, where they're more lenient on what I'd call "poverty-related" driving offences...but I actually live across the river in Ontario. Here, the minimum fine for driving with no insurance is $10k on a first offence, and $50k for subsequent ones. Indeed, I was also convicted of no insurance in 2004, so I'd have caught the big one! Not surprisingly, perhaps, I have a criminal record from 20 years ago; when coupled with being a high school dropout and my lack of a driver's licence, it's hard to find gainful, long-term employment. That's why I had been doing the scrap thing on ebay, at least until they forced PayPal users to also link a bank account, and the scrapyard moved -ten miles- 16km out of town. Again, sorry for rambling. Cheers.

[@fun_ghoul]

I forgot you have a 'rolla. Is the dash clock still functional? Or maybe you've already been into it...?

[@vuaeco]

I've already been into it. Dapped a little it of solder on the PCB and it turned right back up! :D I bet you know real well about this problem as you're asking about it.

[@fun_ghoul]

@@vuaeco You betcha, brother. I used to buy them from the junkyard for C$6 apiece, clean the board with rubbing alcohol, reflow the solder joints on those silly SMT resistors, polish the face to like-new, and sell them for US$50 on ebay. The Matrix of that generation has the same issue -- namely, lead-free solder production hiccups -- as did a bunch of Subarus and surely others unknown to me. Of course, here in so-called Canada, many cars don't make it to drinking age due to road salt. Good for junkyard parts sellers, but bad for motorists who struggle to afford a car (but also need one). I feel like you have a compulsion to make the most of what you have, maybe because life was tougher for you growing up. I call it "poverty brain". I'm poor once again, but even when I had two nickels to rub together, I was still trying to fix the unfixable and make things out of others' refuse. Even hot rodding, which I could only afford to read about or help others with, is kinda like that. Sorry, I'm rambling. Love ya, bro. All the best to you and yours.

[@vuaeco]

@@fun_ghoul The Matrix is just a Corolla with a different body so it's exactly the same. You're right, I have a "poverty brain". I grew up in Vietnam right after the war so there was absolutely nothing for us. The toy I got to play was the one I had to make myself. And that carries on until today! LOL All the best!

[@fun_ghoul]

@@vuaeco @vuaeco Matrix is indeed basically a Corolla wagon, but the clock is different. It's just a clock in the Corolla (sedan) with 4 wires, but the Matrix clock also has the passenger seatbelt warning lights and 8 wires in total IIRC. I would never argue that the level of material privation even in the ghetto where I grew up came close to postwar VN, but two "things" you might have had that we didn't were solidarity and sense of purpose. Of course, maybe those things existed in my old neighbourhood before there came to be rampant cocaine use. As for "poverty brain", I hope you know I don't mean it as a pejorative. I think of it as a particular neurosis related to material lack early in life that has profound effects on the rest of one's life, for better or worse. I am sincerely glad that, despite the (capitalist) world's coldness to your people and nation in their hour of need, you've managed to turn your "poverty brain" into a huge advantage for yourself and for thousands of other people as well. I wouldn't say that this kind of selflessness is rare over here, but...it's certainly isn't celebrated in our popular culture! ✊🇻🇳
