Breaking a tire bead with a scissor jack is possible, but it's not the most efficient or safe method. A tire bead breaker is a tool specifically designed for this purpose and is much more effective. However, if you're in a situation where you don't have a bead breaker and need to remove a tire from its rim using a scissor jack, you can try the following method:
Warning: This method can be challenging, and there is a risk of damaging the tire, rim, or injuring yourself. Exercise caution and use appropriate safety gear.

I use my travel trailer with a tongue weight of 400 lbs to break beads. Lay the tire under the tongue frame, put a 2x4 between the frame and tire bead. Lower tongue with electric Jack. Easy, peasy.

The shape of the base on most scissor jacks seem to be purpose built to break the bead. All you need is the jack and a car or truck with metal bumpers or a high frame and you're golden.

You the man Victor. I never looked at it that way.

Back in the 60's when I was a teenager, We didn't need any tools to break the bead. We simply layed the wheel on the driveway and slowly ran over the tire with our left front wheel [so we could see what we were doing] and the bead popped everytime.

Right

Stiffer tires in those days....

@allanc3655 6 месяцев назад

Or put a 2X6 on the bead and drive up on it. We did tractor tires and wheels on our BIG trucks that way. Sometime the tractor tire would be rusted in place. Just leave the tuck parked on the board and go do something (like eat lunch) it would soon break

@dahaulers-dp2yg 6 месяцев назад

@@allanc3655 that definitely sounds like it would work just as well. Thanks for watching

While making stuff is fun; it’s time consuming. I just lay the tire on the floor of the garage and put a 2x6 on the tire just short of the rim. Then just drive your car,truck,what ever onto the board. It breaks the bead. Flip the tire over and repeat step one. Has NEVER FAILED

Much faster with an old spade and lever bar.

Anyone remember using the old bumper jacks back in the day? 😂

@vicpetrishak7705 6 месяцев назад

Yes , my older brothers ,Joe and Walt , always broke down tire beads with them ! Jacked them down right off the rear bumper . Now , does anyone remember steel car bumpers ?

@joemendyk9994 6 месяцев назад

Still have the one from my 63 Impala station wagon. Use it to pull metal T-posts out of the ground. And to jack up zero turn mowers.

thanks great stuff!!

I’ve been doing this for years. I also use a bottle hydraulic jack sometimes.

@dahaulers-dp2yg 7 месяцев назад

That sounds like it would work just as good, well done

@donvoll2580 6 месяцев назад

Good dy from Ontario. Interesting. Now if jack was on tire would that also not help break bead on other side. Thanks

@dahaulers-dp2yg 6 месяцев назад

Great point! the jack would push down on the sidewall of the tire

Second design definitely better . heres a hack for you try spraying silicon spray around bead for mounting and busting tires .youll never go back to soap water. plus the silicon conditions the rubber and wont rust your rim inside. now how about making a C shaped one for larger tires id like to see that . good job.

@dahaulers-dp2yg 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for watching. I will look into that C style you mentioned

Very Inventive ! How do you weld Spring Steel ?

@dahaulers-dp2yg 6 месяцев назад

It is hardened steel so you will need to turn the welder up

A lot of paraphernalia to do what can be done with some tire irons/spoons.

Also made the manuel tire machine so after that bead is broke we can pull the tire off the wheel. Thanks for watching

Good video, I'm going too give this a try. My high- lift jack is hard on my old back. Also the back side of dually wheels i have to work it about halfway around before bead breaks.

@dahaulers-dp2yg 6 месяцев назад

It should work if not I do have another bead breaker setup and video. Thanks for watching

@davidyj9013 7 месяцев назад

Show how you'd do it on a golf cart tire.

@dahaulers-dp2yg 7 месяцев назад

I don't think that would be hard, just shorten the cross bar. I'll have to keep a lookout for small wheels to try

@dahaulers-dp2yg 7 месяцев назад

Stay tuned I know a place I may be able to get a golf cart tire and wheel.

@joemendyk9994 6 месяцев назад

If the jack end of the spring went thru a bridge welded to the jack, and the bridge had a T handle set screw to lock down on the spring, it might be somewhat universal, wheel size wise.....
