how to break a bead on a tire without a machine: How to use a slide hammer 

Pretty slick tool man!!!

Thank you sir! I've been on the fence but I think I'll give one a try.

Thanks fam, my ass was sweating bullets trying to figure this thang out 😭😂😅

Word of advice from a professional it makes it a little easier. Put your foot behind the head of the slide hammer and stand on the sidewalk. This does 2 things first adding weight while you are breaking the bead helps it break easier and gives you more control

Salute to you bro , I see you dropping hella content I’m enjoying it. Been subscribed for years and I see your growth. All gas no brakes .

I wish I would have known about that thing befor I went to the Chinese tool store and bought their version of a tire changer w/ bead breaker. It works, but it really needs to be anchored to the floor and I haven't figured out where I want to have it permanently. So I've just added a length of pipe to the upright part and let the hoist arm down onto it pinning the tool between the hoist and the floor. It takes a few extra minutes to set it up and is a little bit sketchy, but with the hoist putting a lot of pressure on the tire changer and a couple tripods supporting the hoist and vehicle, it's not going anywhere. It just looks bad. I have always used tire irons (some call them spoons) and I never intended to use the Chinese tool store's changer to dismount and mount my tires. One thing though: Lube. I found out by accident if you wet the rim and bead area real well the bead comes off with a lot less force. I found out because a tire I was changing had a screw in it and caused a flat, so my son added some of that flat tire fix in an aerosol can, which did not work at all, but it's a very thin milky looking liquid and it lubed the bead and rim real nice. Since discovering that I have always used some kind of slick'em on the bead & rim instead of working with it dry. Thanks for the video. ben/ michigan

That is awesome. Never seen one before. Thank you

I just ordered mine. I beat a tire with a sledge yesterday for about 3 hours. $43 with shipping

Nice, quick and easy. However, u should go thru every process. Someone may not know that the tire has to be completely disinflated with Schrader valve removed first.

That was slick bro

Great vid!! Liked!!

Definitely need to grab one of these they're a bargain at the price. Can save a fortune on tire changes this way.

Been using my duck bill hammer for a few years now when I see one of these things in the corner of the shop wow what a back saver

When he says slide it down he means slam it down hard hit it hard
