Ever find yourself in need of breaking a tire bead on the trail so that you can do something like replace a valve stem? Ever wanted to know how you can get that bead reseated in a real hurry? In this short video, you'll get to see us do both as we break a tire bead using a simple Hi-Lift Jack and the bumper on a Jeep and then reseat it again and in a real hurry with FIRE!! I know this is a departure from the kind of videos we normally make and I also realize that this may be nothing new to a lot of you but I hope you enjoy it just the same.
NOTE: This video was made because it was fun, we needed to swap out a valve stem and it was something we could do. That being said, we could have just as easily got the bead reseated simply by pulling the tire over the valve stem and airing it up with a good air compressor like a WARN PowerPlant, ARB or the like - trust me, we have done it countless times. Where a lot of guys totally blow this method is that they don't take the tire off the Jeep, remove the valve stem core or don't use a hammer to equalize the pressure and in that order. This can be a very dangerous method to use especially if you're up in an area where fire hazards exist like up in the crispy dry mountains of California. If you're there and in need of reseating a bead, DO NOT use this method. Also, IF you use this method, do it at your own risk. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

perfect example of how to do a non-professional thing in a professional way. well done!
How about the other way around bucko
That's the guy you want to have on your trail runs.
I am him lol
Good reminder to remove the valve stem
Removing the valve stem does nothing.
@@teel6060 It allows the tire to equalize after it sets. If you leave the valve stem in the tire can suck in on itself as it consumes all the oxygan. Leaving the stem in does allow it to set a tad easier but you also risk the tire popping off again when it compresses. Ideally you are putting air into the tire right away and even with the stem in sometimes you can't keep up with it.
I've seen twice tires suck themselves back off the bead.
Thank you. Clear, concise & straight to the point. Great video
Glad you enjoyed the video 😎
@@wayalife Is there any danger in doing. I really wanna try this out.
@@teawrld5976 LOL - well sure. You are playing with fire and things can always go wrong.
I love it .... "you guys wanna try it", "uuh noo"
Thanks, it worked just as the video shows. Never new this.
Great to hear!
Nice hacks - thanks for sharing
Yeah, glad i saw this. The hammer trick was key.
When you hit the tire with the hammer it allowed air to enter into the tire. Fire/explosions need oxygen. Good vid!
Thanks. I was going to ask what the hammer hit did.
Note taken, thank you for the tips guys
Glad you found it useful :)
AMAZING!!
Old truckers trick. They used this method to get off the side of the highway
New subscriber dude! Super cool
Awesome thank you!
brake cleaner i had wasn't combustible enough, starting fluid popped in on there though
As a M.D. B.S. PhD comedian/nuclear physicist, I am qualified to make the following claims regarding the hammer. Oxygen was already able to enter the tire through the gaps between the rubber and the rim. However, this steady flow caused a near-laminar reaction, therefore the fire was burning at a proportionately slow rate. When the hammer struck, the enlarged oxygen inlet caused a disproportionate rate of combustion on one side, causing immense turbulence and igniting the remaining fuel nearly instantly. Another factor is the bounce that allowed ambient air through the bottom at a greater flow rate than when the tire was flush on the ground. The moral of the story is this: laminar flow allows for predictability, but turbulence is the greatest catalyst we can create without a match.
Bro is onto absolutely nothing
I bet when you were in school you wore thick black plastic glasses and wore a pen and pencil holder on your shirt pocket if you did it was probably worth it. well explained.
Sweet
When is it safe to refill with air from a compressor after resetting the bead
Right away
Can i also use butane gas? Just like the lighter fluid?
I would imagine you could. You just need something that's combustible.
What are u spraying into the tire?
Starter Fluid
What was sprayed into the tire?
Brake cleaner
Como se llama el líquido q le hechaste al neumáticos en español🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Liquido de arranque lo encuentras en autozone.
Very good way to blow up the tire.
But he took out the valve stem.
whats the fluid
Starter fluid
what about using a strap ?
What about it?
i have seen people use a ratcheting try down strap around the center of the tire tread and just keep tightening it down until it pops the bead back into place. i think that is what he is meaning by using a strap
Yeah, that is one way of doing it but the whole point of this video is to show how you can do this trick without one.
Strap seems to work best for me on small tires for, lets say the front tire on my zero turn. Passenger tires say 14,15 or 16" not so much, would take a.lil explosion. Have used starter fluid on a 15" ranger 4 -5 times today with no luck, its almost like its not combustible anymore but IK it is at least when it's compressed it will start a engine
won't this put a bulge in the tire?
Cool! But I want to use all-nitrogen fill for max tire performance.
use water with dishes soap to help unmounting it.
LOL - not real easy to find dish soap out on the trail or in a parking lot. However, WD40 works well too.
Should have been wearing more protection, (hands, eyes, hair), but I'm very impressed with the way he created a trail of spray to use as a fuse. I did this today, and I lit the gas by putting my Bic right next to the bead. Stressful! Good idea to remove the valve stem. If you don''t the rapidly cooling explosive gas will create a powerful vacuum and possibly pull the tire off of the bead.
Shut up you puss
I guess these must be HOT wheels cars then???
LOL
Infuckingcredible!
