Homemade Tire Bead Breaker 

Thank you, I appreciate your nice comment 😊

Good morning sir, you are correct. This works great, it does not require electricity, an expensive machine or a large air compressor. I saw one similar back in the 80s overseas at a tire shop and I built a few myself. I appreciate your comment. Be safe and have a great day

@@SalamSayhood In the '70's I used to change my tires at a gas station myself, for free, using their 1960's pneumatic machine.An old guy there took a liking to me & taught me all the basics & the do's & dont's when I was 16. When they closed around 1979, they gave me their older machine. The pneumatics don't work on it, but it serves as a base to mount my rims with tires on... then I use a 36" tire bar with duck end & manually change all my rubber. I'll use a 4 foot helper bar on that if the rubber is really old & stiff. I bought a bubble balancer from JCWhitney in the 80's too. Before the internet, I'd walk into large tire chains (Town Fair Tire) & want to pay cash for tires & leave (Cash & carry). They'd ask "What are you gonna do with those tires?"... insinuating, 'only they have the ability to mount tires'. I told them , "I'm gonna hang them from a tree branch & swing! "😆😁 I'm 61 y/o. I've changed all my tires my entire life. Now I can buy tires online & pick up at Super Walmart, saving hundreds of dollars in mounting/balancing FEES. I've probably saved thousands of dollars by doing it myself since I was 16y/o. And I enjoy it. It's therapeutic to me.I've done it for friends too. I even changed my large 4 foot tall backhoe/loader rear tires on my FREE, MANUAL tire machine!! Before I found my $40 manual bead breaker like yours at a gas station, I did it many ways. I'd drive up onto a 2x4 ramp to break the bead or I'd use our Bobcat skidsteere grapple attachment & close the jaws onto a steel wedge with a dimple drilled into the wedge, for the grapple tine to set into....& break beads that way. JCWhitney also sells very cheaply made bead breakers using the same principle as yours.

You and I are alike. I like to fix everything myself, as you said it's some type of therapy 😆 beside the ability to save hard earned money. I bought tires from many sources too. I am planning to build a wheel balancer in the future as I have most of the material for it. In addition, at the tire shop, they charge anywhere from $10 to $$ for each old tire as disposal fees. I just put an ad on Craigslist and give them for free and usually I get rid of old tires the same day. I think people use them as a swing from trees 😆

@@SalamSayhood Your are a very good welder (& mechanic) from what I see. I too operated & wrenched on, maintained heavy equipment, excavators,dump trucks,backhoes, skid-steeres, etc.for the 1st 1/2 of my life, before RU-vid. But my welding skills are limited to STICK welding. I have a very good friend who is a welder by trade & IMO you & he are like genius's. A pro-welder has an entirely different approach as to how to deal with problems. My hat is off to you! I'm a plumber by trade now, for the last 18 years. My work attitude is: "No problems, only solutions." It's very apparent you do to! My bead breaker is a Ken-Tool T98 DELUXE FLOOR TYPE BEAD BREAKER (35998). I've found them on the internet from $250-$750! $40 forty years ago was a bargain & is the best manual, lightweight one from my experience with the exception of yours, of course.

Same here, I was introduced to welding and automotive/heavy equipment in 1983 (my family business). In my opinion welding is easy. If you can stick weld, then other methods are easier to learn. Brazing is also a good welding method. I posted a few videos showing brazing (silver, solder and bronze).

The first one I built was for a friend who has tire shop. It worked 99% of the time. Sometimes they had to use the claw and hammer to pop the stubborn tire beads. When I built the second one, I made the arm longer and the spoon into the shape I showed in this video. This made it pop every bead with no issues. Thank you for the watching and for the feedback.

Thank you, I appreciate your comment, God bless you and your family.

Salaam do you have anywhere the length of the items and what you cut items down too?

Good morning sir, I just made it from some scrap metal that I have. You can alter the dimensions base on the metal that is available to you. Just make sure everything is at least 1/4" thick. The metal that I used: The base (2"X2"-1/4" thick) angles is 12"x41" outside to outside. The vortical two angles (2"X2"- 1/4" thick) are 29" long. The spoon two flat stock are 1.5"x0.5" and they are 12" long. The spoon is made from 1.5"x0.5" flat stock and they are 4" long. The pipe is 2" outside diameter pipe with 1/8" thick wall. The blue plates are 8"x15"- 1/4" thick. All the holes are spaced 2" center to center. If you have more questions, please let me know.

Thank you

Good afternoon sir, I don't, however, I went to my shop and took the measurements for you. I just made it from some scrap metal that I have. You can alter the dimensions base on the metal that is available to you. Just make sure everything is at least 1/4" thick. The metal that I used: The base (2"X2"-1/4" thick) angles is 12"x41" outside to outside. The vortical two angles (2"X2"- 1/4" thick) are 29" long. The spoon two flat stock are 1.5"x0.5" and they are 12" long. The spoon is made from 1.5"x0.5" flat stock and they are 4" long. The pipe is 2" outside diameter pipe with 1/8" thick wall. The blue plates are 8"x15"- 1/4" thick. All the holes are spaced 2" center to center. If you have more questions, please let me know. Happy new year.

@@SalamSayhood thanks so very much. !! You take care and have a wonderful new year.

I would like one too

When I built it, I had to use available scrap metal. I also wanted to make it as light as possible to be able to move it easy. The width of the base was okay. You really just need the same width as the spoon. If you want to make it bigger and more stationary, then you can build the base wider. Thank you

Thank you 😊

Thank you for the comment and for watching the video.

The four wheeler tires were 7 years old. The trailer tires were old and dry and I am not sure of the age as I bought them with an old RV three years prior to this video. The tractor tires were the original off my 2010 year model tractor. The two backhoe tires, one was old and dry rotted and the other was new (installed about 1 and a half year prior to this video). I have two other videos showing these tires in detail, if you watch them, you will see some of them had very old green slime and how rusted from the inside. What you saw, is the real time bead braking. I did work in an auto repair shop in the past. You are right, some tires have tough beads. I think this bead breaker will do just fine with tough beads. Thank you for watching

Thank you for sharing your idea.

Bonjour André, j'utilise un disque à tronçonner de 6 pouces plus grand. j'achète sur Amazon. ces disques sont conçus pour couper du métal et ne peuvent pas être utilisés pour meuler. j'espère que cela répond à votre question. soyez prudent et passez une bonne journée

But you’re welcome, I like what you do! For the discs do you have the links? Mine wear out way too quickly

The cutting disc that I use is: www.amazon.com/Benchmark-Abrasives-Aluminium-Quality-Stainless/dp/B008KYUVCK/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=3JFD5REQBK7CL&keywords=cutting+discs+6+inch+for+angle+grinder&qid=1701445081&sprefix=6%22+cutting+disc%2Caps%2C1465&sr=8-3

Acabei de fazer com uma sucata que tenho. Você pode alterar as dimensões com base no metal que está disponível para você. Apenas certifique-se de que tudo tenha pelo menos 1/4 "de espessura. O metal que usei: Os ângulos da base (2"X2"-1/4" de espessura) são 12"x41" de fora para fora. Os dois ângulos de vórtice (2"X2"- 1/4" de espessura) têm 29" de comprimento. O estoque plano de duas colheres tem 1,5 "x 0,5" e tem 12" de comprimento. A colher é feita de estoque plano de 1,5 "x 0,5" e tem 4" de comprimento. O tubo é um tubo de diâmetro externo de 2" com parede de 1/8" de espessura. As placas azuis são 8 "x15" - 1/4" de espessura. Todos os furos são espaçados 2" de centro a centro.

It was easy to break the beads on the backhoe and trailer old tires. If you going to deal with bigger tires, then use bigger angles for the two that hold the pipe. Thank you for watching.

boa noite, tentei traduzir seu comentário. não tenho certeza se entendi seu comentário corretamente. você tem problemas para remover o pneu da roda? se sim, o que você está usando para remover o pneu? obrigado

Sorry, I don't sale anything. However if you know a welder in your area, you can hire them to build you one and they can use my video as a guide. Happy new year.

I would buy one too

I appreciate your interest, unfortunately I don't sell anything. I provided enough information so the viewers can build their own. Be safe and have fun

Thank you

I appreciate your interest in my project, however I don't sell these. You can find a welder or a fabricator in your area. Show them the video and I am sure they can build it for you. Thank you
