70 years old and can't believe I never thought of breaking a tire down off of the rim this way - I even had all the stuff to do it !!! Thanks - even though I feel like an idiot !
That works very well with the ratchet strip. If no ratchet strap is available, a small chain could work, although you'd lose the ability to pre-load the process and need more jack travel. Never tried it. I drilled a hole through the top 2x4 and down into the vertical one and dropped a 16 penny nail in it to help hold things in place. I don't see any big risk of injury by it cratering since there's not that much recoil energy stored in the tire during the process. I did three 225R50x17" tires with it to replaced the tire pressure sensors... worked like a champ and provided plenty of access. I only needed to break the outside bead to get access so didn't need to re-balance them. It's best to break the bead opposite the valve stem first, before doing remaining areas to reduce chances of damaging those sensors (if you intend to reuse them). Thanks for the video... well done!
Man,I struggled,and struggled,broke one bead by hand with spoons but couldn’t get the other watched your video ,set up the jack and ,bingo! tires off. your method works awesome.I’ll never struggle again,and you saved me a few bucks,I hated the thought of taking it in to the shop.Next tire change will be easy and take way less time.Thanks.
Speed Play Glad I could help. I had a problem with the 2x4 slipping/ creeping away from the edge of the rim on a few tires. If you put a spoon or pry bar under the 2x4 and push it in close the the rim it eliminates that problem.
Tried many different ways with a jack and this method finally worked with a atv 28" mud tire. Took few minutes after working on it for hrs lol. Thanks for the video.
Thank you sir! I found this video after trying to use clamps and a vise to break the bead on a lawnmower tire for almost an hour. Used a smaller jack and shorter 2x4 and it took about 2 tries and less than 5 minutes.
omg thank u. i hav had the hardest time tryin to get this tire of the rim. i did this couple yrs ago almost jus like how u did it. i jus couldnt freakin remember. jus usin the ratchet tie downs did not work u gota use the 2 x 4's
Thank you for sharing this! I cut a couple of 2x4s and broke the bead in about 10 minutes after watching this video. Like this method better than using my car.
I had to change a valve stem and this worked great.....It took a few attempts but worked like a charm on my last attempt .....thanks for the video and technique........
Glad I could help. I've had a few stubborn ones where the 2x4 kept creeping away from the bead. When I get one like that I put a pry bar underneath the 2x4 and tap it in close to the rim. That usually does the trick. I would like to fab a steel end that is shaped to the rim for future use.
Fantastic! Great idea! Especially for bigger low profile tires. only thing I did different is I used a 2x6 (was all I had) and added another piece of wood across the underside of the rim to protect it from any possible damage. Thank You! Your idea was Much Easier and less chance of getting hurt or damaging something.
Very interesting. I want to replace some old sensors and going to give this a shot. I already had 1 sensor replaced at a local tire shop, the price was very reasonable, $5 for dismount/mount, $10 for computerized balance and $5 for new wheel weights so $21.30 w/tax for 1 wheel. But they got grease stains on my armrest and floor mat, I had to shampoo the floor mat is was filthy, then I couldn't even get the lug nuts off, ended up having to use a 4' piece of pipe over a 2' breaker bar and I'm not a weak guy. I don't trust anyone working on the car.
yeah great idea for some basic tools.. One would figure if your wanting to change your own tires you would have a jack and straps.. well u know someone that has one if you hadn't bought them yet lol. Definitely trying this now, thx- beats the hell out of the last 12 bead breaker ideas I've watched.
never fails, spare 2x4 laying around my garage for years...always new I can use them for something.. decided to thrown them in my fire pit yesterday ....
A heavy gage threaded rod with large nuts and washers can be substituted for the strap and hydraulic jack Rest one 2x4 or 4x4 on tire butting the edge of tire rim, and place the other 2x4 or 4x4 on the opposite side of the tire, resting on the rim. Tighten both 2x4 together like a clamp to break the bead.
This looks like THE way to go for sure and those who have watched the video then commented on their success makes it a no brainer. I have one question regarding the piece of 2x4 that you have standing vertically at the rear of the jack next to the handle. What is its purpose and what size should it be? It wasn't discussed during the video. Thanks!
That piece is the fulcrum point between the jack and the top 2x4. It should be pretty close to equal the length of the width of the tire. Its just held in place by the tension of the ratchet strap once you tighten it down.
Thanks for the reply. As soon as I finished posting my comment, I went out to the garage and as I started to configure the "machine", the vertical piece became apparent. I had it all assembled and the tire broke down far enough to access the valve stem in less than 5 mins. Thanks for posting this. As others have already stated, GENIUS!
actually that was very intelligent thank thank you very much imma tractor trailer tire changing guy and I've seen a lot of ways to change a tire but I like that thank you
This Method Works Well. I just can't tell how you have the bottom of the Jack setup against the rim. The part of the jack that normally is touching the car to lift it up is on the "edge" of the rim?
Busted down my old 4 lug Ranchero wheels today Wire wheeled Ready for primered I used a variation of this method With the assistance of my burk bar I'm considering a bead breaking pipe cemented into A 4 foot ×four foot pad A sort of a hitching post Bead breaking station That was one hell of a workout doing it on the garage apron Was comparable to wrestling with a alligator I know I saw Tarzan do it
those worked great and the base slipped right between the wheel and bead with a little persuasion from a hammer after you jacked it a bit. it you did not do that sometimes it would slip off the tire.
Just put the 2x4 up against the roof truss and a bottle jack on the tire. No straps to screw with. You can do this with 2 bar clamps and wood blocks too, much faster.
I used a 4x4, a short piece of 2x4 and a heavy trailer. Tire on concrete, put 4x4 used as a lever and press 2x4 down onto tire bead. Trailer acts as the fulcrum pivot. Can also use a heavy sledge hammer to assist popping bead down off rim edge as you put pressure on tire bead.
I did one under the back of the suv, lot of work, I'm going to try your system right now, but I guess on the outside of an aluminum rim you would put an old t shirt where the jack contacts
Drive over the edge of the tire with your car. You can put a 2 x 4 on the tire if you want and drive over the 2 x 4, be careful of the valve stem.. You can also break the tire from the bead in a vice. we can also do it with a large enough C clamp I have seen it done using a motorcycle side stand. With the tire on the ground beside the motorcycle, position in the side stand on the tire right next to the rim, and leaned the motorcycle over onto the tire with the stand in the right position I bought the $49 harbor freight tire machine. It has one of the best bead breakers out there.
Jack ruined my craigers.... the jack scratched the chrome.... On your advice , l f'ed m rims up !!!! My lawyer needs to know where to send the league papers ..................just kidding..... This looks like a great Idea.....low cost and effective !! Thanks bro
so far this technique has not worked as easily for me, it does work but takes multiple tries to actually get the bead broken on a tire that's been mounted for a long time but it still beats breaking your back or your rim trying to use a heavy bead breaking hammer
I didn't have any luck - the 2x4 eventually always starts sliding down the sidewall of the tire and is no longer close to the bead and just squashes the tyre, and probably wrecking the sidewall. I will admit it was a more promising method than just the jack stand against the rubber tho
Heads up if the bottom piece of wood shifts at all the top piece will come flying at you and leave a gash in your forehead... I’m assuming... maybe from experience...of course it may have been because it was a ten ply off road tire... all hypothetically
strap or mechanism might brake under this big pressure and be thrown or lash out so standing so near is hardly wise.bigger strap or rope is stronger or chain maybe joined with bolts or ..soapy water outside and inside first might help slip bead off and one guy beat on wood with sledge to help.
@@budrig had my collection of wheels taken by tire shop, I paid 5 bucks each instead of separating them myself. I was just gonna throw em away, but you can't throw tires and rims together in my country.
Thank you sir! I am 66yrs old and successfully just dismounted a 15" trailer tire by your instruction. There were some glitches, but we got 'er done!
And you’re recording. I applaud you sir for not only an informative video but doing it one handed. Shows it can be done while holding your beer.

Boy I am so glad that I saw YOU DO THIS so easily. Back to my Garage to get at it. Hopefully as well as you did.
Excellento!
Best/cheapest/safest/easiest method I've seen out of a dozen or more videos!

Well of course it worked the last time.
saw stem changed from outside with tool that stem screws into just a rod ten cm long maybe.
Thanks - just used this on 3 tires, very fast and easy, much appreciated.

Golden.. Hate to take a trailer tire in just for a new valve stem..lol..worked the first time I tried it!
One of 2 simple, yet effective methods of breaking the bead i've seen on YT. My concern is an alum. motorcycle rim might bend on the jack side.
yammer haw possible with an aluminum wheel.

This technique worked for me for a 35x12.5R15 BF Goodrich Mud Terrain tyre with great ease.
I too laid the 2x4 on the rim and broke bead using the jack below. Worked great on my 16' rim and 2 ton jack. Thank you!
Thanks for the Video, You have been really helpful to me and my Family.

Rest one 2x4 or 4x4 on tire butting the edge of tire rim, and place the other 2x4 or 4x4 on the opposite side of the tire, resting on the rim.
Tighten both 2x4 together like a clamp to break the bead.
2x4s are scared nowadays being $6 each. But I'm desperate so will be giving this a try. Thanks - great idea!
awesome buddy! tried the run over and the jack it under the truck methods, gonna give this a shot, looks promising. thanx
Excellent idea! i jusy had one of those "why didn't I think of that" moments. Thx.

Thanks buddy. I been struggling for an hour man
My husband says this is brilliant. He's going outside right now to try it.
Awesome! Thank you. Good Luck.
That's a good idea. You can use a tire tool to pry the tire as you pump the jack.
Awesome skills & technique! Thanks for sharing!
Aye! You just came to my rescue I didn’t even think that this would work
Nice work!
This Method Works Well.
I just can't tell how you have the bottom of the Jack setup against the rim.
The part of the jack that normally is touching the car to lift it up is on the "edge" of the rim?
MAX Novo Correct. That seemed to work better than putting it on the edge of the tire.
Busted down my old 4 lug
Ranchero wheels today
Wire wheeled
Ready for primered
I used a variation of this method
With the assistance of my burk bar
I'm considering a bead breaking pipe cemented into
A 4 foot ×four foot pad
A sort of a hitching post
Bead breaking station
That was one hell of a workout doing it on the garage apron
Was comparable to wrestling with a alligator
I know
I saw Tarzan do it
Thank you works perfectly. I was about to start jacking my truck up haha
Thanks bro only thing I did different was put a board at the bottom so it didn't damage my rim but man that works thanks again
You are welcome. Glad I could help.
Nice Work.. Thank you for sharing this.
Safe and easy 👍🏼
*PUT A 2X4 ON TIRE LIKE A RAMP & DRIVE UP ON IT. QUICK & EASY.*
I have two manual bead breakers= FASTER
AWESOME video, exactly what I was looking for,
good lord that's an smart idea I wished I saw this like 4 hours an go
I'll give this a go. Looks to be about the same size tire as I use. Thanks!
I like your work. Thank you for sharing. Gonna give it a crack myself.
This looks brilliant. A hockey puck or a piece of rubber between the jack and the edge of the rim might protect the rim?
Thanks for the idea! Modified it results worked great.
That is pretty slick.
Use to be able to use the old bumper jacks for this years ago but i havnt seen one of those in 20 years or more.
those worked great and the base slipped right between the wheel and bead with a little persuasion from a hammer after you jacked it a bit. it you did not do that sometimes it would slip off the tire.
Good trick, I would use a big rig style ratchet strap or something stronger though
Just put the 2x4 up against the roof truss and a bottle jack on the tire. No straps to screw with. You can do this with 2 bar clamps and wood blocks too, much faster.
Good enough idea. But why not put the jack on underside bead & break both beads in one operation.??
Stanley Bowman I tried that first with no luck. 😐
This is clever. the simplest one I saw was a 2X6 up on the tire with it all laying flat and they drove a car onto the 2X6
Worked like a charm! Thanks!
I used a 4x4, a short piece of 2x4 and a heavy trailer. Tire on concrete, put 4x4 used as a lever and press 2x4 down onto tire bead. Trailer acts as the fulcrum pivot. Can also use a heavy sledge hammer to assist popping bead down off rim edge as you put pressure on tire bead.

Nice, ever thought of cutting a u on the end of a 2x12 that's 8 foot long and placing it on the tire and drive a car on the 2x12 ... just a thought
Yeah. This is an alternate method.
I wish I would have seen this video 3 hours ago.......
You sir, are the man
Thank you.
Good idea 👍
Hi
I really love your work
This worked perfectly for me...Thank you!
Your are a genius!! Thanks!!!!
Good if you're gunna put a tube in it. What if you need to take the tire off the rim?
joe quillun after this you remove the tire. 😂 my video is not showing that. Step 2. That’s the easy part. Need tire irons/ levers.
@@remanspecialist I would like to see that video. (LOL)

I've had a few stubborn ones myself. Took several tries.
wonder if soapy water inside and outside helps to make it slip off more easy
Superb teacher u r !"

I had problem a few times. I think it’s worse if the angle on the top board is not quite right.
Fugget bout it! 😂 Thanks for the help man!

Your a smart man
nice idea
Aren't you going to damage the rim?
No Damage. Maybe scratch the paint. Put a few rags on the jack.
So how about a 2x4 on jack and the 2x4 on tire for support?
Doesn't work for my 14" honda wheels. The wood keeps slipping out in the critical moment
This is what is happening to me. What was your resolution? Do you recall back 3 years ago? lol
