OMG ! You make this look so easy! I just did one tire on my truck and it took me about 2.5 hrs. I was so tired after I said screw this and am going to attempt the other tire tomorrow but I’m going to try your way. I just struggled to get the tire back on the rim and you made it look so easy lol
Nice job. I did truck tires with truck tire irons.. but there are a few specific things I forgot about when doing car tires that your video brought back to memory. Car tires are tighter.. and that last step can be confusing to remember when you dismount the tire completly while using the pry bar to pull the rubber over and hold it in that specific position and then hitting it in the specific spots on the sidewall with the hammer with a few blows and the rim just pops the rim out nicely.. (dont hit the inside lip of the rim) I remember that I did that once on that last step while prying and trying to drive a tire off of a rim with a hammer.. oops. Fortunately the bead still sealed. Next time I'm using a dead blow plastic coated hammer.
Very impressive. Fastest DIY tire changing vid I've seen so far. You're the first I've seen to use that slide hammer pole thing to break the bead. Where can I get that tool? Seems a lot faster than driving up a 4x4 or using a jack. You're also the first I've seen that didn't need to use any lube.
t65man when things go wrong and disaster strikes (global warming, terrorists, war idiots) and I have one hope at getting out alive...and if that hope is your 500 dollar car or 50 thousand dollar car, you will wish you had paid more attention to this video! This video is a treasure and this man is as smart as he is generous...how many people take the time to share anything like this? I think all who post negative dont have the skills to do this or live in a dream world where you can always just pay the tire guy to do it !!! Probably the most educational video I have ever seen. When SHTF and I need to change a blownout tire ...t65man I cant thank you enough...this guy gets shit done!
Good way to do it with basic tools most people already have. Involves a little extra elbow grease. Wonder if any of the tire beads were damaged, using the metal tools to pry the tires off and then on the wheel.
tHIS MAN HAS FITTED MANY TYRES, WELL WORTH WATCHING IF YOU HAVE NEVER TRIED IT BEFORE. AGAIN THOUGH HE HAS RESORTED TO USING A LEVER BAR FOR A TYRE IRON. lEVER BARS ARE JUST NO GOOD, THEY WILL MAKE THE JOB HARD. GET TWO DECENT SIZED IRONS FROM A TOOL SELLER, OR EVEN HARBOR FRIEGHT
You're never going to do that so easy in a 50c or 60c degree outside temperature. it's a fact. Northern Virginia in November or December forget about it. planing to do it in summer time.
With some tires you're able to damn near walk the tire on the rim and with other tires you're fighting for your life to get em on. When it comes to regular passenger cars it all depends on the size of your sidewall
Good info on sending unit I need to replace starter on ' 94 park Ave and my parts store would let me return unused parts w/o a restocking charge so I'll get one and hope I don't have to use it .
Great Video. You are the Best that I have ever seen! I tried to do my tires today....and get this....it took me all Frigging day, to just get 4 tires off of 4 wheels.....Yup 5 or 6 F..king HOURS!??!. Mind you, I didn't have proper tire tools to use.....just small screw drivers and way to THICK of a Crow Bar Breaking the bead was a piece of cake.....getting the tire off of the wheel, was just HELL to do. I could eventually peel the tire off of the rim, but I could not get the Tire Off the Frigging Wheel, where as you did it sooooo easily. When someone is an Expert in doing anything, they can make it look so easy to do. For me, it was a Living Nightmare to do. Thanks again. You are the best.
I wish I knew where I could get a pole like you had for breaking that seal and I couldn't see if you were hitting it with something or what I'd do them by hand also but watching you do it has added some more styles to my ways of doing it thanks for showing me
