I like your approach to this! I used the old fashion way with a big leverage bar, you definitely had the right idea using a hydraulic jack 👍 Thanks for mentioning me and my channel! I really appreciate it!
Your video reminded me that I had built this tool. Thanks for the idea to make a video out of it!! We are a small community of builders here on TH-cam, we all benefit by helping each other!!! Have an awesome day my friend.
I see this has been several years ago but I want to build this same thing, just wondering what is height of vertical piece? I do all tire sizes lawnmower, atv, trailer and car tires. Thanks for great video
I'd like to make this bead breaker. Is it possible to get some measurements so I can build one as well? Hey, even if you wanted some money for a set of plans, I would be happy to forward it. I just want some basic measurements to build one, just the length for the base and the most important part, the position of the bolt in the top iron and the bottom. I'll probably use the bottle jack as well. TIA
@@motomule I wouldn't hold you to the measurements, I just thought it would help in the building of this great idea. I'm a carpenter by trade but, I was just hoping to get some idea as to the position of the bolts and length of the base. I probably would build one out of wood, as a prototype and then go from there B-4 I welded one all up. I was hoping to cut a little time by asking you B-4 all the extra work of building one of wood and trying to figure it all out.
@@trybriguy1357 it depends somewhat on the size of your jack. I would also make the bottom frame long enough to extend under the whole jack, and under the whole wheel. It would make it more stable.
Great idea and very simple. Only I would probably swivel the top curve so it would stay close to the edge of the bead, rather than move away from it as it comes down. Thankyou!
I used a crappy automotive scissors jack for weight purposes. It goes on the trails with me for repairing tyres. I permanently bolted the old scissors jack onto the lever mechanism so it is one functioning unit. It is slow but light to be able to take with me. It draws quite the crowd sometimes. When they asked how I made it. I just say look for a similar invention on Motodonkey on TH-cam. I can not take the credit.
Nice! The curved pieces need to flare out towards the rim. It would push at the tire bead more instead of on the side wall making it pop off really quick. Great design and effectiveness with the floor jack. Also, move the upside down angle iron down so the front wheels on the jack sit flat on the floor, that should keep the tool from raising up when pumping the jack. Love the design, great idea.
It a nice idea pretty close to the mark on what needed to do the job right! Up to everyone to play with it till they have it work perfectly! Little longer in the front with bead breaker at the bottom! Pivot point at the back at the jack, small tubing downward! Ya Mike does lots of nice work! Any solution to a problem is welcome by all Two thumbs up!
Very good, much simpler than most seen on here. With a few mods it could be made to work on just about any size tire.👍 Building it around a bottle jack might be a little handier.
Basically you made for one size rim. Use bolts welded to top of top arc and bottom of bottom arc. Then you can change arc size for different rims. Maybe weld round stock on edges that meet tire since may damage tire with edges of arc.
Hello, bro, At 1:37, you said there is a "Harbor Freight roller". Do they carry this item anymore? If still, could you give me its link here please? Thanks a lot.
Hey that's pretty cool. A thought came to mind with me. Instead of a floor jack you could dedicate a bottle jack. Just mount the bottle jack permanently.👍👍
This is a great trick. I think the only thing that might improve it is to put a piece of flat plate on the bottom and mount the other ring to that. It will help keep the wheels from flipping up and kicking out like you were experiencing. You could get a piece of old tire and cut it and flatten it to put it on the flat piece to have a scratch resistant surface
Certainly easier than the one my Dad made to do his trailer tires. Strictly a long lever that you lean on but it worked. I don’t remember if it was adjustable for tire size or not but it could easily be done.
I made this contraption to debead a trailer tire and got one side off fine.. but bit straight through the other side trying to get it off.. so had to trash the tire.. good idea though..
Mike, I'll own up to making the odd joke, here and on other similar sites, about your "two car garage and a couple of tools". I'll admit they are more out of "tool envy" from one lifetime tool user to another. For all those store boughten tools though, some of the best tricks in your garage are the gems you dreamed up and built or saw in others hands and made your own.KOKO!
Not to diss your setup but what happens when one of the beads doesn't break? I think it would work better overall if the bottom was extended so you could break each bead individually. Maybe a bolt with a cross bar to hold the wheel down so it doesn't flip up. And maybe an adjustable top bar for different width wheels. Again thank you for the project idea!
That's pretty slick, I have a bunch of tools I want to make. I feel a need to get my mini jeep done before I do though, so I dont miss out on any riding this spring.
I went online and got look at a diy bead breaker that pinches to rin and then has a bolt actuated foot to push tire off rim. About the same amount of cutting and welding to build. Weighs a couple of pounds. Keep it in back floor of truck. Only need 3/4 inch wrench to work. The commercial versions are $70 to over $100.
That's just way too cool make job easier yep back in the day working for FMC building automotive equipment from tire changers wheel balancers lefts but that is a neat a break and tired beads
I was thinking of making some type of bead breaker, but not sure of how, your idea is right on !!!, I'm going to use your idea, Great Video nice tutorial, Thanks William Orange county
Another "Why didn't I think of that?" moment. Thanks -sure beats the two cars and a sledge hammer method. Wonder why it never occurred to me to make one of these. Thank you for making things easier!
I prefer to use a post vise, not only does it break both beads at the same time but allows you to easily work on the tire/rim by placing the rim on an axle placed in the post vise.
I just made it out of scraps that I had. Just make it fit whatever Jack you have and I'd recommend making several hole positions for the pivot so you can do different width tires...
Car tires.. front wheel drive take wheel off and 2 x 8 .. 2 feet long slide wheel under disc brake with the board laying on an angle one end on floor . Other near the rim .. lower car down with floor jack flip over and same thing ... never had an issue
If and when I make mine..........I would extend the lower 2 piece tubings keeping the flat curved plate where it's at. Extend the tubing to mount a adjustable spindle (forward & back) with a flat plate on that to bolt onto the inside of the rim to hold the rim stationary. The less the rim & tire move, the more the the pressure will work better. I would also add a spring to pull the jaws open after releasing the hydraulic pressure on the jack.
I'm pretty sure it would work better and be more stable if one side of the clamp was flat. You only need to break one bead at a time and flip the tire over. You don't need to pinch both beads at the same time, it appears to be making it flop up and down unevenly.
Don't miss the last Mini Monster Truck video!!! th-cam.com/video/aO-wHYO9vo0/w-d-xo.html
You need to patent that before someone else does
@@kevinpeterson1965 he could try but there's nothing really proprietary about it. With that said it is a awesome simple bead breaker.
Annoying background noise.

Gonna make one but wouldn't it be better to have the bead breaker on the top only and flat on the bottom to support the rim and tire?

I love this. What a nice simple design for something that's such a pain in the butt. Good job.
Awesome job really like that I will have to build one too. Thanks for sharing
If I did not have a changer i would defiantly make one. Great video.
Great idea and very simple. Only I would probably swivel the top curve so it would stay close to the edge of the bead,
rather than move away from it as it comes down. Thankyou!
great work
That's cool, the is surely easier than breaking them down by hand.
So simple but so clever!
Thanks for watching!
Very very good information
A cheap bottle jack could work really nice for a more permanent set up
True!!
Dam good idea. The bottle jack i have is air actuated and has dual return springs. Air or pump style
I used a crappy automotive scissors jack for weight purposes. It goes on the trails with me for repairing tyres. I permanently bolted the old scissors jack onto the lever mechanism so it is one functioning unit. It is slow but light to be able to take with me. It draws quite the crowd sometimes.

Man I could have really used one of these a few weeks ago. Great idea. Now put a bottle jack on there and make it air operated!
Good idea!!
Great build! If i didn't have a HB tire breaker, i would use your idea. I like to see original builds.
Best idea I've seen in a long time👍
It a nice idea pretty close to the mark on what needed to do the job right! Up to everyone to play with it till they have it work perfectly! Little longer in the front with bead breaker at the bottom! Pivot point at the back at the jack, small tubing downward!
Ya Mike does lots of nice work! Any solution to a problem is welcome by all Two thumbs up!
You should sell this for all of us not mechanically inclined
Wow that's brilliant idea! And hydraulic bottle jack would make this tool look professional!
I have an un-used 35T bottle jack and a bunch of left over steel tubing that may have just found it's new home/use!
I would add a return spring and the bottle Jack sounds like a good idea too
Maybe build a different set of pinch plates that are removable for different size tire
Just a 4-6" long piece of straight angle would be universal for any tire that would fit into the frame.
Thank for idea. Saved me a ton. Ky.
Nice tool build
Super simple but very effective! Great job!
That's brilliant Mike!
Thanks!!!
Yup very simple very nice. I was gonna use a bottle jack but then was gonna try this air bag from a motor home. Good job.
That would be cool.
Grand dad will be building one of those! Still hinting! Great idea as always........
😆
Very good, much simpler than most seen on here. With a few mods it could be made to work on just about any size tire.👍
Building it around a bottle jack might be a little handier.
like it would it work on 18 inch alloy car wheels?
Great idea. I've got work to do now.
Get r done!!
I’ve been kicking the same idea around but with out the jack I’m going to use an air bag from a semi truck great job
That would be cool!!!
Put a little air back in ATV tires when breaking them down. Always works on the ones with stubborn beads
Basically you made for one size rim. Use bolts welded to top of top arc and bottom of bottom arc. Then you can change arc size for different rims. Maybe weld round stock on edges that meet tire since may damage tire with edges of arc.
nice little project!
Thanks!!
What happened to the golf cart did it get put on hold or did u finish.
It's on hold until the weather gets better.. It's almost done, but we are in our rainy season so I couldn't drive it yet....
@@motomule ok am looking forward for the final episode
Am also working on buggy project but it's on hold right now money ran shy but has busa motor and 14 to 16 inches travel
@@njoroge37 nice! That will be awesome!!!
Ok. Dismount means to climb off. Demount means to take off. Great little project! I'm going to build one! (or two)
Great idea. Going to attempt to build one myself.. any measurements you can provide me with to get started ?
That's the best homemade bread breaker I've seen yet.nice mr.very nice.you should Patten that and market it cheep if possible.
Thanks!!
THAT, is a great tool for tires.
I thought so too!! 😁 thanks!!!
I use my backhoe outrigger.
Works like a charm.
Hi, if this could be used for normal car tires like r14, r15? I mean general design?
Sure. Thanks for watching.
how much for you to make and ship one to minnesota?
I think this is a great idea. But might work better with an adjustable height for the center fulcrum.
Would definitely work better if adjustable!! Might have make version 2.0.... 😆 Thanks for watching!!
Good job, very smart
Absolutely great idea Mike ! I think a lot of people will find this pretty dam useful, thanks for the inspiration buddy!
Thanks for watching!!

Awesomeness
That's way awesome good execution sir, I think I'll add a mount for a small psi lift support as a return after the jack is released.
Nice!! Thanks for watching!!
People that own quads could save a fortune with this! Don't be scared people, change your own tires!
You could also do this with a bottle jack
Can you give me the dimensions of this set up I need to make one right now

One addition you need is a part that comes out and holds down the tire from moving. Pretty useful tool though.

can we talk about that machine behind you, is that a water cooled air compressor? what the heck is that thing??? does it heat your shop?
Car tires.. front wheel drive take wheel off and 2 x 8 .. 2 feet long slide wheel under disc brake with the board laying on an angle one end on floor . Other near the rim .. lower car down with floor jack flip over and same thing ... never had an issue
How do you get the tire off the rim
With a tire iron.
Will this work for 19.5 18 wheelers tires
Putting some spray lube or soapy water around the bead helps a lot.
If and when I make mine..........I would extend the lower 2 piece tubings keeping the flat curved plate where it's at. Extend the tubing to mount a adjustable spindle (forward & back) with a flat plate on that to bolt onto the inside of the rim to hold the rim stationary. The less the rim & tire move, the more the the pressure will work better. I would also add a spring to pull the jaws open after releasing the hydraulic pressure on the jack.
Heck, you could probably use even a cheap screw jack from a car or similar to do that if you don’t have a hydro jack.
Yes, that could work too!!
Would you sell me of those? Shipping would be based the weigh. Let me know. Very nice job.
I'm pretty sure it would work better and be more stable if one side of the clamp was flat. You only need to break one bead at a time and flip the tire over. You don't need to pinch both beads at the same time, it appears to be making it flop up and down unevenly.
Now can it balance the tire?
Is your brother (oddly specific) still “borrowing” your floor jack? With the rack secured, and with a long enough lever, this can be done manually.
😆
Put a spring on the jack side so it'll release when lowering jack. Correct spring length so doesnt pinch jack
Well done
