We show you how to put a tire back on the rim of a riding mower when they come off the bead and rim.
We show three different tires in different starts of being flat and different things going on with them.
We show the process to air them up or seal them back to the bead and get air into them.
This is the easy way to get it back onto the rim that is a safe method.
Works every time, if one does not work, use two.
We use this method most often on riding mowers and snow blowers where the tire will not go back onto the rim easily.

I remember as a kid, watching my grandpa wrap baler twine around a small tire, then tighten it up by twisting it with a screwdriver to push the bead out. That's the sort of thing a good grandpa will teach you.
Next video, teach us the "flammable aerosol and bic lighter" method. Or are there already too many of those on TH-cam?
😁
Haha, what a great life lesson. Not the baler twine the burnt eyebrows after my next trick lol. I have done the other ways and they do work - in some very limited or extreme cases. Awesome story about the grandpa! Thanks for watching!
Nice educational information. I have paid the tire shop to install tube.
@@matta3888 Nice! Thanks for watching!
If you use that flammable aerosol method, if you ever take it to a tire shop, as soon as they smell the flammable aerosol vapors, you will be asked to remove the tire from their property.
Ratchet strap is my go to. Wheel barrow, lawn tractor,side side,etc.
Really excellent video right to the point you're a good teacher
I appreciate that! Thanks for watching!
Love the bead buster. Better then the cheap stuff I've been using. A lot of my tires have dry rot, so I end up having to remove one side of the tire and inserting a tube. This is of course a last resort. Would be good if you could do a video on tube replacement. Thanks!
Yeah, tubes in certain cases are the best option for sure. Thanks for watching!
Really excellent video! Thanks so much for doing this one.
This is the first time I’ve heard of Bead Buster. Reminds me a lot of Bag Balm!
I appreciate that! Thanks for watching!
Yupp, works pretty good, been my go to method for many years. I remove the valve core and use an plain air fitting with no chuck to get more airflow. Just get everything ready, slip the fitting into the air hose and stick the open end over the valve stem, works great.
Awesome tip! Thanks for watching!
We once used a strap to seat a car tire and put too much air in before removing it. The strap ended up breaking under stress, and the metal part slammed the guy inflating it right in the "you know where." He rolled around on the floor for awhile in serious pain. A lesson was learned!
Yeah, definitely not s good idea to over inflate anything! On the last tire it didn't seem like the gauge wanted to work at first but it was definitely overinflated. Thanks for watching!
Good video. I have had to do that to a number of small tractors, mowers, etc. But the best cure is an inner tube. Tubless tires are more subject to dirt getting into the bead seating area causing air loss. But not so with a tube and the bead seating area doesn't have to be perfectly clean. And the customer's always see it my way.
Sure thing! Problem we run into is places that have thorns or keep getting them punctured then go tire sealant or a solid tire
We were stuck out in woods no ratchet strap no starting fluid to blow it back up. So we did kinda like your grease trick dug mud outta the creek and packed bead with mud so we could get it back on and outta woods worked like a charm n
That's an awesome story there!!
Great thinking!
I tried that on my boat trailer tire it worked . 👍
Awesome news! Thanks for watching!
I learned three great tricks. Thx..
Thanks for watching!
Great intro. Be careful in the ice!
Ice covered it is today! Thanks for watching!
When I took auto mechanics in 1970 we had an easy to use tool specifically for expanding the bead of a tire. It was a woven nylon tube that had an inner tube of rubber with a schrader valve. The nylon encircled the tire (such as your ratchet strap), was tugged tight then the inner tube inflated. As the tube grew in diameter it tightened and constricted the tire causing the bead to expand. As I recall it worked very well.
A couple people have mentioned this to us! I have never heard of such a thing until posting this video. We do around 300 tires a year and normally just use a tube to air them up overnight and then do not have to fight with them at all because the bead is already pushed outward. If we need them done right away or have a difficult one we normally just use the bead blaster but I hate lugging it out. If I am doing it and the mower is on the table I just grab the strap off the wall and normally have it fixed within the time it would have taken me to walk and get the bead blaster. Good tip and thank you for watching!
That's what we had at a Service Station I worked at in my high school days. 1968! Wish many times I had one again. I have not looked for one, but E-bay probably has it.
Awesome!!
Yes, in our shop we always had that inflatable strap standing by and had to use it about 50% of the time. I no longer work in a garage, but I have had success with a tie down strap pulled tight.
@@kwitwerikok8o863 Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Great presentation.
I appreciate that! Thanks for watching!
Great information and demonstration………..👍
I appreciate that! Thanks for watching!
This works!!!!! Thanks so much 😊
Thanks for watching! Glad to help!
Your videos are the best
I appreciate that and you watching!
Those dry rotted tires should just get inner tubes put inside them. I did that exact thing with my snow blower tires. Keep up the good work 😊👍🏿
This one is a mower we are selling, otherwise we definitely would have tubed it. Thanks for watching!
This was helpful, thank you
Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for this. I was ready to rip out my hair. It took two straps but it worked perfectly.
Glad it worked for you! Thanks for watching!
I got a pail of Xtra Seal Euro Paste for under 20 bucks. It's the same as the stuff we use to call tire soap. It does the same thing sealing the tire so you can put air in the tire. once it seals you scoop it off the rim and put back in the pail and use it again, it washes off with water. Not only do we use it on these tires but we also use it on car tires as well.
Awesome! Thanks for that! Is this stuff really thick? I used to get the Bead Buster under another name in 2.5 gallon buckets I believe. It would last about the season. Now I try to be a lot more sparing with it and do not use it as often since the price i6 60 for 3lb now instead of a few gallons. Thanks for watching!
The video IS helpful. I used to have to do this quite frequently with my previous 2 mowers. My current one (Cub Cadet) advertised tires/rims that would resist breaking seal with the rim. I have mesquite trees in my yard, and slow leaks from thorns are a non-stop problem despite many plugs.... But I really don't care, it takes a couple minutes to air up tires no matter how long they've sat flat. Some mowers use garbage tires that will separate from the rim every time they go flat, others use better quality that won't. Research wheels along with other specs when buying a mower...it could save you a TON of time and effort.
Thanks for watching! It is a pain sometimes for sure but solid tires if you have too many thorns is the way to go
Very helpful thank you
Glad to help! Thanks for watching!
I bought solid rubber tires (the kind that look like inflatables) for my dolly. A little too hard, but they work and don't go flat. Michael
Definitely a plus! Thanks for watching!
Thumbs up. Utmost blessings! Now I can get dangerous again and hopefully cheat another year with these seasonally flat tires.
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
I've used a rather strap several times to break the beed on tires to insert the tubes ! 👍
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
A lot of valuable info. Never heard of bead buster or use regular screwdriver. Lost a zero turn tire in middle of yard. Only had a rope, so made it into a tourniquet by using a branch. Lol worked great.
Good stuff there! Had one come in covered in duck tape once. Same concept. If It works, it works.
Nice ideas, thanks. This seems to happen to me more often than it should. I have too many old lawn tractors and tractors. @@IndRepair
@@MikeOrazzi You and me both! It is a bear going to start equipment and struggling with tires or other things. Thats why we fix them right and skip the hassle
Learned this trick growing up on a farm when I was kid.
It works well! Thanks for watching!
Thanks alot Strap works 💪
Right on!!
Toilet wax ring works as a sealer. Using it and ratchet strap for many years Cheap & easy to find
Great info!
For a stubborn one, I bypass the inflator tool as it restricts the airflow. Also I always use grease gun grease. Never seen it hurt the tire. Used the same process on 10 ply skid steer tires.
The inflator definitely restricts flow, good info!
I use either dish washing liquid, or clothes washing liquid. Makes a great lube and won't hurt the rubber
Interesting! Thanks for sharing!
Keep a handy magnet 🧲 around your shop to retrieve dropped items. It looks like 👍 that part flew off. My easiest way is to tie a shoestring to a speaker 🔊 magnet 🧲, and drag it around on the floor. Or use a telescoping magnetic 🧲 pickup 🛻 tool. Just subbed!! Your friend, Jeff.
Thanks for the tip and for watching!
Thanks for this video. We have two John Deer mowers and a New Holland tractor at a very remote mountain tract. I’ve learned a lot of repairs out of necessity and this is great repair knowledge. I’m curious how large a tire will I be able to set this way. I’m gunna say all but the very large rear tractor tires but I’ll cross that bridge when it comes. I have seen the explosive starter fluid method used on large tractor tires but not yet had to try it, wonder how well that works.
It works well when done right and have air hooked up already... Takes a ton of cleaner sometimes on thick/stubborn tires. I do not recommend it. Thanks for watching!
I use a spray bottle with dish soap and water for lubricant on the beads. Rotate the tire while pushing against the rim while holding the rim from turning. This will get the bead on the back side to begin to seat on the rim. Then once you start putting the air to it, gently pull the tire toward the side of the rim closest to you and it’ll often close the gap enough to close to close up and seal. You have to pull gently so as not to unseat the barely-sealing bead that you just pushed on around on the back side.
Any lubricant can definitely help. Many times I feel like it keeps me from the bead holding itself in place, it will slips back towards the inside and be more difficult. Appreciate the tips and thanks for watching!
Murphy’s oil soap is real good for bead. Real slippery. Also use kids bubble liquid to check for leaks. It’ll keep bubbling for the smallest leaks
Once you get tire on wipe the slippery stuff till is off the bead.
Great tips!
Great tips!
I use mule tape , nice tip taking out the valve
Nice! That would probably work well! Thanks for watching!
Excellent. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Great video Thanks

great tips

Haven't had much luck with the strap idea. Just seated 2 really flat tires yesterday wit h a shot of carb cleaner and a torch. Always wear goggles.
Definitely! Thanks for watching!
Good video.
Thanks for watching!
We use Murphys tire lube,also works 4 22.5 truck tires,never saw it sold smaller than 5 gal pail
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
I use Murphys tire lube from NAPA Auto Parts, the last one I got was $12.00 for 8lbs. Has served me well for over 30 years.
I will definitely be looking for this! Thanks for the heads up!
@@twistedhillbilly6157 Our other mechanic here was talking about using it for truck tires, looks like I will be grabbing some at Napa soon. It says they have it in stock anyway. We do 200 or so tires a year, normally just blow a tube up in them overnight and next day they go right on with a little lube and many times don't even have to remove the valve core. Great tips!
I just use dish soap as a lubricant. Get the super cheap stuff from dollar store that way the wife won't steal it.
@@gregorybarth930 Yeah, for sure! Get the Dawn Platinum and it dissapears pretty quick!
I use the ratchet strap. I would recommend that once you have the tire back on both beads, let some of the pressure out before attempting to remove the straps. I had a strap knock the hell out of my knuckles.
They can be under immense pressure
Our family had an air compressor and used the inflatable outer tube with strap to help inflate tires.
I wonder how many people think of putting water in tires to help add weight to tires for better traction.
I've been fixing flat tires on bicycles and cars since I was about 15 and I have never heard of that bead buster stuff.
Interesting! Thanks for sharing and for watching!
I've used windshield washer fulid as cheep antfreez so the tires were weighted in cold weather.
you can make your own "cheetah" style bead seater from an old grill tank , a lever style (1/4 turn) valve , and a 1 foot long pipe flattened on one end . mine has saved the day many times .
A bead sealer is definitely so much easier than any of this! Thanks for watching!
No you can't get much easier then the cheetah style air tank, and they will do truck tires !@@IndRepair
@@garyalford9394 They do it so well I was very angry the first time I saw one in use. WHY did someone not show me this sooner? HAHA! I just try to remember the struggles and go off the questions customers ask to go over things that for most of use may be common knowledge
Yep a bead seater is less 70 dollars on Amazon. Works great.
Used this method many times on those pesky tiny front tires on Snapper RER's. What a PITA! Thanks for the vid!
Haha I wouldn't be hurt if I never saw another one of those! Thanks for watching!
For slow leaks in a small tire remove valve stem and get a bottle with corn oil in it with a hose that fits over the valve stem.Squirt about a cup or 2 in the tire. Reinstall the inner stem and fill with air and rotate the tire. The corn oil is thick and sticky and works better than slime as slime is not made for slow moving tires as it needs the speed to rotate and do its job.
Interesting! We usually use Liquitube for tire sealant. Thanks for the tip and for watching!
Something weird I've noticed is used motor oil works great. Mowers n blowers says tranny fluid works great. Seeing as used motor oil is unlimited I've always used that, but I'd bet corn oil works even better because it hardens over time
@@mikem5475Great tips! Thanks for watching!
Great video!
Regular gun grease works fine for beading up. I never used anything else for vehicle and mower tires. Thanks
Thanks for the input and for watching!
U 2!@@IndRepair
I have a pressure washer that both tires separated from the bead. Tires wouldn't air up so I looked around my utility room and found some syl glide. Said it was safe on rubber so I used that to lube the wheel and tire rim. So far it's working on both tires
Awesome!
Is it thick or a thin grease? Thanks for watching!
Thin, used it in brake caliper hardware lubricant applications
Use to use starter fluid or tire soap on semis . Didn’t have a air ring like the tire busters. If you pull it of and can get a bucket or strong metal can that fits inside the rim you can set the wheel on it and push the backside onto the rim then you only have to worry about one bead.
Great tips! Thanks for watching!
When I was a professional small engine mechanic, I would use a shop heater to warm up the tire in winter especially new zero turn tires… I also used the strap trick and grease and seeing that you are paying a hi price for that bead buddy try using Crisco? to be honest I never used Crisco just bearing grease but Crisco might be an affordable solution?? I will definitely try it myself the next tire I need a little extra help?
(SEM Ret due to a disability)
Like your video. 👍😎👍
Heat definitely works, especially if it is cold! This thick grease (I guess it is tire soap) works best far as I can tell. Thanks for watching!
We used axle grease on car and truck tires as well as on farm wagons and machinery. It worked most of the time. The few times it didn't was because we didn't use enough.
I try to be stingey with this but at $20 a pound it is a no brainer. With axle grease and the cost it would be much cheaper!
We had 5 gallon pails of grease. We used a lot on the machinery so it was worth getting that much.
@@FloydBlack-xi8fh I would get a 5 gallon pail if I could, would come in handy
I have had the problem a lot over the years. The quickie solution that has worked best (and for the longest) was one that I saw on TH-cam about 5 years ago. The ratchet strap was used in the video but I only even used it the first time. After that I did a simplified version. Step one- take the weight off, Step two-clean the tire bead and the wheel where the bead must fit-in, Step three- put a bead of household silicone caulking around the rim, inside and outside, Step four- a squirt if quick start inside the tire, Step five- wave a propane torch at the tire.
The effect is FAST. It pops right into place. Step six, add air.
The whole job only takes a minute or two. I found that the ratchet strap wasn't necessary as the explosion is so fast.
That is an interesting way of doing it! Thanks for watching!
The thick stuff for seating tires is soap based and once you’ve got it filled with air, you can scrape that stuff off and put it back in the bucket. 5hen wash the rest off with the water hose. That doesn’t work at all if you use regular old grease.
Definitely!
The indian gasoline-barbecue lighter method is a lot more fun and will pop out the most difficult tires!
Haha!!
A can of starter fluid, spray liberally. Then light it, tire pops onto the bead!!
We also used to have an inflatable tire belt to wrap around the tire.
There is a little more to it than that but it definitely works well if done right. I just hesitate to tell a homeowner to use this way. Thanks for watching!
I have used starter fluid to spray inside tire and toss a piece of paper that has been set on fire, towards the tire ,usually a loud pop ,but tire is inflated,not recommended to the general public .....
Definitely works well if you do it right. Thanks for watching!
Thanks Thanks Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Done this several times, even on larger tractor front tires. I leave the strap in place while I put in the valve core. My lawn tractor tires are old enough to drink in every state. The front two and I think just one of the rear are running tubes now.
It definitely works well. Thanks for watching!
Use either..... a good puff " in " the tire......and hold the tire centered with hands on the outside of the tire. Light it. PUFF instantly seated ! Have the air compressor at the ready. Pump it up.........ready to go ! Have to act fast before the pressure is released from the either puff ! It will pop !
It works if done right in most cases. I always used a little different method for the starting fluid. I think this way works more reliably and is safer for many reasons. Thanks for the comment and for watching!
one thing anyone having this problem needs to know and dude here didn't mention here . Is those tires are very thin walled so when they are cold that rubber is not gonna want to conform back into its round shape . so what you will need to do is work on it in a heated area . your gonna want to let that tire come up what ever the room temp is (hopefully thats around 70 degrees or better ) and that will help in getting that rubber to seal better on the rim .
Some warmth definitely helps out!! Thanks for watching!
My Jd slid down a hill done took it off the rim but i hooked air to it and put a brick under it and pressed on it containing the air and popping the beads back in place a rathchet strap could help also but i didnt take out the stem or anything applied air while ratching and it worked
Awesome! Great job! Thanks for watching!
@@IndRepair how cold is it for ur mower to do a cold start it was 22°F and it hsd a bit of trouble
Found a bad ground connection by the end of the project. I thought it was a valve spacing issue but after adjusting the opposite side valves with no change (needed to be done anyway) I went through the electrical
@@YourLocalCountryBoy23 After the other side valves were adjusted, I was finishing the tune up and checking everything out and found the ground wire was corroded and partially loose. I cleaned everything up, checked and re-installed contacts and it turns over well now. These engines should turn over good no matter the temperature (of course depending on what oil you are using and the battery capacity). Thanks for watching!
I usually take a wheel off and bounce it around while adding air. Works pretty good.
Awesome tip! Thanks for watching!
Murphys oil soap is just about the same thing as your bead buster, it works good
Great tip! I will grab some soon. Thanks for watching!
Know a guy shop was out of tire lube, A water soluble lube to help mounting tires so he used gear oil... got the tires on when out and stomped the gas and spun the rims inside the tires.
I use liquid dish soap mixed with water to check for leaks, have seen simple green remove paint
That Is interesting there! Simple green, if you use in a concentrated amount, can make paint soft. I never saw it remove the paint on something but it would make sense! Thanks for watching and for your insight!
If you have a large pipe supply that sells larger sewer and water line, they have an O ring seal in the joints. They also have a pipe joint lube, vegetable based soap in paste form. It will work well as a substitute bead buster. And the great part, it is not expensive.
Nice info! Thanks for watching!
Yes That's great advice: it's called Ty Seal gasket lubricant: used on Cast Iron Hub gaskets mostly on sewer lines under slabs ..."Excellent Notion"...( quote from my favorite movie)
@@michaelmailheau1511That is great, I will be getting some soon! Thanks again!
Try Murphy's oil soap in paste form,our tire man uses it to set big truck tires
@@carlspiess1614 It looks like Napa has it down the road, I am going to get a couple different ones and figure out what works best. Thanks for the tip!
I have used easy glide or soap or water on the beads then sprayed some staring fluid in the tire; tossed a burning piece of paper at the tire with the air chuck already flowing.On the bigger tires it beads right away. Keep your fire extinguisher handy or a spray bottle of water, I have never had a problem this way but one of those air drop tanks would be a lot safer if handy. When a big tire is off the bead in the field You work with what you have Stand back doesn't always work well in the wind don't use too much ether. tractor tire takes about 2-3 seconds spray.
Great tips I just don't trust most people to do this safely. Thanks for watching!
Also I never took out the valve stem and it still worked
That is very interesting, sometimes it seems like there just is not enough volume for this to happen with large tire gaps
I have used all of these tricks with some success. However, for the same reason there is more than one type of "glue" in the world, you have to have more than one method (tools in the mental toolbox) to make use of. A trick I have used on rear mower tires would have worked wonderfully on the last one you showed with no grease, and no strap (because it had one SEATED bead). Simply jack it up like you had, have an assistant triggering the air while you pull forward on the outer edge of the tire. (It can be done holding the inflater in same hand) This flexes the sidewalls enough to bring the bead into contact with the area of the rim for the air to finish pushing it on. I have even used this trick on the floor, when mounting new tires that come flattened (particularly nasty). I have used the rounded end of a tire tool to "mechanically seat the inside bead" over the little lip of the inside rim. You have to make sure you have it on there good, so you don't pull it off in the step where you pull out on the tread edge of the tire.
Great tips! Thanks for watching!
That's called a bead expander. Normal tool in a tire shop. Well, in a tire shop they are usually basically an adjustable length inner tube wrapped around the tire that when aired up it squeezes the tire, so, same thing.
Never have I seen or heard of this. Great info! Thanks for watching!
After 40 years in the trucking business, I've aired up many truck tires with ether, also car tires, m/c tires and lawn tractor tires. Finally got smart and put tubes the leakers. The problem is the cheap Chinese tires after a couple of years will start to leak through the sidewalls.
The Carlisle tires we see are made in US or Canada normally I think but they obviously make them cheap as possible. We see a lot of Locust trees around here so people will use solid tires or something like premium tire sealant (similar to Slime) Problems like what is shown on the Craftsman tire here are cause from the tire being flat and sitting like that outside from what I normally see. Thanks for watching!
Axel grease works the same way. I have used it a lot.
It is thick enough for this purpose? Interesting!
The thick stuff for seating tires is soap based and once you’ve got it filled with air, you can scrape that stuff off and put it back in the bucket. Then you can wash the rest off with the water hose. That doesn’t work at all if you use regular old grease.
Correct there! Thanks for watching!
I have done it with just cheap car air pump.i took my belt off put it around middle of tire pulled tight it pushes tire in middle aired up perfect,dont need big air.
Very true, just have to be much more precise with the tire positioning when using an air pump
Amazon has the bead buster. Also called Ken-tool. Pneumatic strap
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Never heard of bead Buster. I found the same stuff on Amazon.BeadBuster Tire Mounting Lubricant Paste, 1-Pint/16oz, Acc-TML $22.00
Yeah definitely expensive stuff!
Your automotive tire store should have large pails of tire mounting soap
Better consistency than your bead buster for packing into the gaps and LOTS cheaper.
I can’t function without a pail of it on the farm, so I buy it by the pail. I’m sure any tire store will be glad to sell you some in a small container, but keep it tightly covered or it’ll absorb moisture and turn into slop that won’t pack into gaps. Makes a great bead lubricant with a little water but won’t pack in gaps
Thanks for the tips! This one dried out real bad if the top is off so may be different but sounds like a lot cheaper! Thanks for watching!
Try a thick cooking shortening.I've gotten that to work about 80% of the time. What works the other 20% is using a blow gun pointed at the rim while putting air into the stem. Be sure the back of the tire is seated against the rim.
Great tip!
You can do the same thing with a chain and a screwdriver by wrapping the chain around the tire same as the wratchet strap, then stick a screwdriver through the chain and twist, this will tighten up the chain same as the strap, then add air
Definitely a great tip! Use what you have, I love it! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the fulfilling video
Glad to helps thanks for watching!
You could do it Alaskan style with a bit of fire inside the tire.. or you could even use a cherry "bang" firework...(censor)
very interesting with the strap though, that's new to me.. thx 4 sharing
Haha I have seen it done some interesting ways over the years! Thanks for watching!
Is there a particular name brand tire inflater styled like that one that is recommended?
The ones we have been using for a while are made by Torqify but it does not look like they are available any more. I would look for the same design and see if you can find one with the braided lines instead of just rubber. Something like the one at amzn.to/4bjr4mA Thanks for watching!
Starting fluid and a match works every time
It sure does if you know what your doing! Thanks for watching!
Bead seating air tank tool with the large dump valve is worth having if you have any regular need to seat larger gaps. Well worth the 60 I paid for the satisfaction of seeing it work every time-
It sure is easy using a bead blaster instead isn't it?
@@IndRepair I'm always pleasantly surprised how well it works. Just have to get those ear muffs on before releasing the kraken😜
Haha, yes!
I've found it helpful to spray a lub like WD 40 on the bead before airing.
Great tip!
Hey Mr. mechanic it’s called a tiedown not a ratchet strap if you didn’t have that ratchet strap for about the last 25 years there is a pneumatic type of strap that does this or if you have nothing maybe lighter fluid in a match and old truckers tricks foot lighter fluid in the tire and make sure there’s no other combustibles light off the lighter fluid in the tire it’ll go pop and see both beads immediately
For sure
Sometimes the hole is too small on the inside of the tire for the slime to stop it. Stick an awl or ice pick all the way through the tire and roll the hole to 6 o'clock and it's done
Great tip there, seen this happen before
i have found latex paint acts as a good sealer -perhaps 1 cup or so for a small steering tirwe as he is working on
Hmm, interesting! Thanks for watching!
I taught my son-in-law how to put a rope around it the way my dad did it years ago
A turnicate, belt or anything to hold the tire tight will work well. Thanks for watching!
Ever tried ether starting fluid in the tire and a maych??
Oh yeah! Just wouldn't trust most homeowners to do it
Old mower tires sometimes leak through the sidewall, applying dexron transmission fluid will soften and swell cracks shut.
Great tip!
Usually removing the valve stem core and shooting air to it will get it. Most times with core in I can just smack it between both hands toward the rim and it 's on.
Thanks for watching!
It's 22.00 on Amazon. BeadBuster Tire Mounting Lubricant Paste, 1-Pint/16oz, Acc-TML
Have to use it sparingly at that price!
Wasn't there a product called Ru-Glide or Ru-Slip at one time? I remember the local tire shop using it when I was in High School.@@IndRepair
Dude, great video. I pulled it off with a stout bungee and a few railroad spikes. Pity, stem had rotted.
Awesom!
I also use clear or white silicone caulk on bead as a good sealer that works better than that bead buster stuff
If it works, it works!
I learned this with a rope and a screwdriver, I've only had to use 1 rope and fill every tire I need to inflate. (Learned from an older person)
It is amazing how simple things can be sometimes! Thanks for sharing and for watching!
in place of bead buster you can use vasoline
Vaseline eats away at rubber unfortunately
Karate chop tires, got it!
Step 3 haha
Thanks! Another great one!
Thanks for watching!
In the field any kind of aerosol with a lighter, is your friend. 😀 Plus a little air pump.
Yeah but with a ratchet strap I can do it just as fast works well...So does go go juice and boom stick
Nothing to do with reseating the bead, your video was great on that. But a little known feature of the straps is that if you open the ratchet up all the way where it is flat then give it a good tug the ratchet releases and you can pull strap out instead of letting it out a couple clicks at a time!
Haha you are correct there! The junk straps I use don't work well with this feature most times when under pressure and tires will often loose their bead if deflated too quickly. I have always used this method because of come along's, I think. When there is so much pressure on the strap from the tire it is basically overtightened because of the additional pressure on it. Trying the trick with the pressure on it and you will know why I did it the way I did ( that and to make sure everyone called me out on it when I gave instructions ). I commend you on your tone with telling me this out of purely wanting to educate instead of wanting to bash. That sir is why I still do these video and started this work. Just to help people. Thank you for watching!
Good Ole starting fluid and a lighter get the trick every time along if there is no tube..
Definitely! Thanks for watching!
You can get the bead sealer from any tire supply store
Bead sealer helps with leaks around the rim on something like this but will not help you get the bead seated to the rim in the first place. I guess it could but it would be one heck of a mess. Thanks for watching!
