gasket sealer is the same stuff steelman uses to seal a tire

I could easily see someone damaging there tire doing this.

Never had it damage the tire. Works very well. I uses to do this all the time.

How do you drive up the board on 3 wheels? LOL

I tried something like this on a F-350 tire. Used the truck frame jacked up and a short 4x4. Put the 4x4 on the edge of the tire bead/rim and lower the truck. It did not work and there was much cussing.

with some leverage with 2x4 and 2x6 ima bout to do it

the same way the GOOD OLD USELESS GOV'T stuck their useless stupid busybody noses in the plastic gas can business...........now we have unusable dangerous and hard to control gas cans that SPILL MORE GAS WHERE YOU DON'T WANT IT instead of the old ones that were easy to use and WORKED THE RIGHT WAY.............GOOD OLD GOV'T............

If the dumb ass public would check their tire pressure at least once a month TPMS sensors would not be needed.

Good comment, but the reason may be that since it may trigger the ABS, this integral in preventing "spinouts" - yes, a big can of worms.

@@yardlimit8695 Yes, the EPA had too much time on their hands that day (gas can vapor seal).

Hardly a "useless feature". People who complain about additional safety features that our government requires should see the death traps that fly around in other countries. I have, and I hardly consider things like anti-lock brakes, airbags, collision avoidance, backup cameras, TPMS sensors, etc. as useless. Get a clue, dude. I suppose you're one of those people that still complain about them removing lead from gasoline, huh? Checking your tire pressure before every drive isn't exactly practical and not everyone is comfortable with it, or has a clear understanding of what pressure is safe for their given vehicle. There's old people that drive, there's young people who drive, there's uneducated people who don't get it. Just because you think it's infringing on your rights to... I don't even know what your argument is, lol... doesn't mean features shouldn't be developed & implemented to help make it safer for everyone, including yourself - don't forget you and your loved ones are on the road with these people, too.... Not to mention, things can and do happen in between checking your tire pressure. I do all my own auto repair and I'm very diligent about maintaining my vehicles. IMHO, TPMS saved one of tires and possibly my family while we were on a road trip to Yellowstone. We picked up something sharp in a tire while at a roadside stop and a few minutes after getting back on the road, the warning went off while we going 75mph down the freeway. I was able to slowly slow down & pull over - watched the tire go completely flat only seconds after getting out to check it. Put the spare on, drove to nearest town where they plugged the puncture and 2 hours later we were back on the road. Who knows what would happened if I hadn't had 10-15 seconds of lead time - maybe nothing, maybe catastrophe. This was a fully loaded Suburban with camping gear, roof top box, kayak and 7 people inside. I didn't even wreck the tire, drove on it for years afterwards. If it wasn't so expensive to replace, you wouldn't be complaining so the real issue is overinflated prices. Car makers make billions in profit every year and perhaps THEY should be required to service safety features like these AT COST instead of charging the RIDICULOUS prices I see dealers asking for - $800 to replace 4 sensors? $250 at Discount tire and they only last 2 years (my experience)? C'mon man! If you can order 4 of these for $40 off of Amazon and takes Wal-Mart a few minutes to replace, it shouldn't be so expensive to maintain by the dealer.... Profits on the vehicles we buy are through the roof and I shouldn't have to pay bloated prices to keep my vehicle safe just so some jerk at GM can fuel up his jet every week.

Who has a bumper jack these days lol

Bingo! I've got a HHR and I get sick and tired of changing this damn things out every 2 yrs and that damn tire warning msg that just harasses you every time you drive your car.

They are suppose to last 7 years:

Actually, I was driving my 4Runner on the highway and felt a little bump. 5 minutes later my TPMS warning light came on and I was able to get off the highway and pull into a 7-Eleven. Something punctured my tread and I was losing air fast - was down to about 10 psi. I was able to use a tire plug kit and air compressor I kept in the truck to fix it without even removing the wheel. The fix lasted another 25k miles until the tires were worn out. Thank God for TPMS in that situation. I would have literally gone flat on the highway and who knows whether I would’ve lost control or not. Only seeing the light flashing saved me and made me pull over. It’s one of those things You don’t appreciate until it saves your ass. I’m a believer now.

@@michaelmaxwell568 I agree. Prior to TPMS my wife would destroy a tire a year. Since TPMS she has not. But once a year she will mention that the light came on. A couple of times it was a puncture with a nail or such, twice it was a leaky rim. But I was able to get them repaired before losing the tire. And I have never had a TPMS sensor fail. Oldest ones we have now are from a 2013 Honda which we just gave to our daughter.

Agreed

Not a waste..works fast!! Don't forget to subscribe 😉

Just use regular compressed air..don't forget to subscribe 😉

Cool..thanks for watching and dont forget to subscribe

Not if you do it right..dont forget to susbscribe

Man if you care that much about your rims your a bitch!

Popping only one side of the tire doesnt mean that u need a rebalance..do it yourself guys..why pay 120 dollars if u can just pay 20 dollars?

You teach others but can hardly string a sentence together.

Keep commenting it pushes my video up in the RU-vid search

Do it yourself folks own torque wrenches, some TPMS systems can be relearned by the vehicle itself, and if you only pop the bead on the TPMS side and replace it with a sensor that is within the same weight range +/- .25 oz you don't need to rebalance the wheel. This was a good demonstration of one type of bead breaking tool. There are others that may be easier to use or cheaper. This bead breaker is great because it doesn't take up much storage space.

Oops lol

You can cover the inside of the tire with a rag to catch anything that might fall..dont forget to subscribe

Agreed

will do!!

Depending on when u are balancing them..u need them balanced with ur sensors..dont forget to subscribe

You can buy four new sensors that screw onto your valve stems and a solar reader that goes into your car for less than $75.00 from Amazon. Then put some black electricians tape over the damn light.

@@Norm475 Thanks for the info. But I don't need to spend that money on a contraption to check my tires when I can do that myself.

@@markstone2138 I agree, I have an air compressor that is in my basement and I can control it from the garage.

Thank you

Thanks lol

@@klowny1969 😀😃😄😁😆😅🤣😂

Same lmao. I may just call around and have a shop do it.

Bullshit. Buy a quality pencil gauge and you would be surprised. Not some $5 shit you got at Harbor Freight with a coupon.

Yes, there are always incompetent professionals that are willing to rape your wallet for things you can do yourself. I'd rather do things myself with the proper tools.

Agreed....50 year been driving and never needed some fancy costly crap like this to tell me a tyre was down on pressure. I'm no Luddite...I embrace new technology...but this nonsense is a joke.

The dumbest sensors I have ever seen. I took mine out and threw them away. They haven't bothered me since. My 53 ford never needed any.

thank you..dont forget to subscribe

This wheel was from a 07 impala and it didn't suffer any damage lol don't forget to subscribe

weelgunny yea they do,but unfortunately can’t change it,it’s sealed up

Sure you can do that if you want..don't forget to subscribe

LOL Thanks dont forget to subscribe!

Absolutely! I was laughing for about ten minutes.

Glad I was able to help you out..don't forget to subscribe

You got it, nothing is necessary on the valve stem..you can put bead sealer if you want for added measure..don't forget to subscribe

@@klowny1969 I subscribed immediately after I watched a bit this film, but thank you for reminding. And many thanks on clarification on lubricant pasta, I'll apply just a bit to be on the safe side.

The TPMS system reads left front, right front, left rear, and right rear. I'm interested in hearing about what the spare has to do with it.

@@chrispixx In some cars the spare also has TPMS Sensor, and it is a source of confusion, when all the tires are at the right pressure, but it is low pressure in the spare, which makes the light come on.

@@olenaerhardt7725 I guess in some cars possibly, but not mine

Yes..that would be a neat add on..dont forget to subscribe

Thank you..don't forget to subscribe

They only sold the sensors with the valve stem..its a good idea to change both if you are doing this job

@@klowny1969 I was only asking because I have brand new tires, rims and valve stems already. I just need to transfer the old TPS's over to the new wheels which came off a brand new truck. Brand new wheels going on old truck. TPS's from new truck not compatible with old truck.

Glad I was able to help..don't forget to subscribe

@@klowny1969 I also almost dropped my car on myself but I lucked out and 0 damage to anything including myself. Subbed

I’m working on the rear tires of my 07 is250 this weekend. For the front tires, even though I broke the bead all the way around, it was difficult to move the tire out if the way to access the sensor. I ended up using a scissors jack on one side of the sensor and the bead buster on the other side to hold the gap open wide enough. I hope the back tires will be easier.

Why do you say that?

On tubeless wheels and tires the bead is the seal. As long as the bead is clean 99.9% of the time it will seal. Very rare is there ever a need for sealant. And there is a special bead sealant. It would have sealed without you using that.

In my shop we use the steelman sealer..since this is a dying video, the average person doesnt have to buy a tub of sealer, gasket sealer is the same. They can also use dawn soap. If you want a come back in your shop, then dont use any sealer. It is not good practice to just let the bead sit on it's own. There are tsb's out there that u need to put sealer on the rim because the rim starts to flake..so to answer your question, yes u need sealer unless you want to do the job twice..dont forget to subscribe and hit that bell to be notified of any new videos I post :)

@@klowny1969 , good site, man

Thank you for watching and commenting

The one used in this video is about $100-$120. Depending on where you go. They have a manual bead breaker for $55. Or a bead breaker bar for less than $20

Same way as if you replace it..don't forget to subscribe

You can do this with hand tools..you don't need expensive hand tools either..don't forget to subscribe

@@klowny1969 then make a video with hand tools first. Then I'll subscribe. The video is useless for my needs

Piece of absolute shit. I had one. Piece of lightweight Communist Chinesium CRAP. The beadbuster is a MUCH better product that is made in the USA, especially the PRO models.

@@StilettoSniper Harbor Freight review of PITTSBURGH AUTOMOTIVE Manual Tire Changer:( $49.99 without coupon) "Tremendous piece of garbage I bought one of these a few years ago and it quickly broke. All of the working components are very thin and light duty steel. The main tube (with adjustment holes) bent in half, the bead pusher folded over on itself, and the arms between these two components buckled on the first use. I thought maybe I got a dud, so I bought another one just recently. Exact same issues - I unseated one bead on one tire before the arms started buckling again. Guess im going to have to fix the design myself and replaced all the light gauge steel with some thicker stuff. Don't waste your time - just go buy something heavier duty for a little more money"

It will pass..dont forget to subscribe

@@klowny1969 Yas!

U have to recalibrate

Thanks for watching..don't forget to subscribe

Can it be done with a heat gun or blow dryer?

No

On this car it tells you what tire has no input from the sensor

@@klowny1969 Thanks for the reply. In my car, a 2014 Prius V the tire sensor display is lighted up. I know that tire pressure on all of the 4 tire are OK at 35 PSI so it's a false alarm.

@@manuelmoraleda9285 It also reads the spare so check that.

Some people are not lazy lard-asses whose entire life encompasses getting fat and playing video games.

Like me he probably doesn't have a tire changer or a balancer

Thanks man..yes this thing is awesome..and it's small too, can easily fit in a tool box!

and don't forget to stop at HD to pick up some Great Stuff big gap sealer to seal that tire before adding air to it. That should really help you out too!

Over $100....I'll use wood

And that was the real reason I watched the video I wanted to know if the sensors needed to be programed to the computer

Get you a Autel TS508 like I did problem solved

Thank u sir!
