Great video. I've busted tires since I was a kid and then professionally. Many people have no idea where to start or what to do. Very informative and step by step. Perfect👌. I've seen a few videos on RU-vid where they were working with the valve stem down. SMH. Glad that you did this video. 👍👍👍
When you get the tire spoon and first start to get the tire off the rim most all people want to set the tire spoon real far away from the first tire spoon..I was so glad you showed to place the second tire spoon just a few inches away from the first spoon....Plus I found yesterday doing my tire that is the magic spot to get your tire spoon into it has a little type void.....Many thanks for showing a different way to remove the back side.... After 20 plus years of the tire being on the rim it is a fight battle to break through rust and severe tire stiffness.
Thanks for the vid. I’ve slung my share of car and truck tires. But I’ll be doing my first pair of tractor tires soon and glad to see your tips. It’s obvious you’ve done more than a couple in your time.
Dude you are like a magician. I work at a tire shop where there’s guys with 15 years + experience where they don’t know this trick. We’re all taught the hard way and we struggle, I finally caved and came to RU-vid, you sir. Did not disappoint me
I have changed a few in my days and for the most part I would do it the same way. Make it easier on yourself lean the tire against a pole or something to break both sides down and take front bead off than lay down to get the back side off. Save your self a bunch of lifting and the big bar you have use it on the back side to get rim out so you don’t have to beat on the bead. Take crooked side and get it between the bead and rim and usually you can just bump the bar with the knot against the rim and it will go between the bead and rim and pry it out. Great job and quicker than the tool to break bead. I like using wd40 or some kind of oil on the side wall to make hammer slid to break beads down. Great job
Yey, just ..almost..what I'm looking for. Bought a small tyre changer for the 40+ small tyres I have to maintain. First job was on a small tractor, Iseki TX1300. Got on e side off but couldn't get the lower one off, probably because the axle hole is not the usual 1" or so, it's 3" so I suppose it's no good for the tool. So will try the sledgehammer method. ..But the tyre is only about 19" across. Just tried with a lump hammer, levering up thumping down on the soaped-up tire, then trying banging a lever horizontally. No luck. Need to change these lawn tyres out for agricultural ones to avoid getting bogged down in the mud again. Thanks for the idea.
It does take some time to get the technique down but if your doing lawn tractor size tires which it sounds like you are . The can be very difficult just like atv tires. Doing those is a bad day. Sometimes you need someone just to hold the wheel still. Good luck with it.
@@generalprinciple5921 Done! Both Ag tyres on. First one no problem. 2nd one took three days! But I learned summat not on Internet that I could find. Yer 'tis -- and it's about how to keep 'this side', your side, the side near you down (6 o'clock) in the drop centre as you're mauling away getting the far side (12 o'clock) over the rim -- : instead of putting the vice grip (to keep the tyre sliding 'round) any old where, and vertical, I put it at 6 o'clock, and I put it horizontal over the tyre, and with the bulge part downward; this was key for me, and meant that all my jumping heeling down on the tyre to get it into, and stay in the drop centre was not in vain. I had bought new hefty strong 24" levers, I had bought big clamps to try to keep the tyre down ... useless. With this technique and just ordinary 12" levers-- job done. Unlike the vids that I'd seen where the tyres seemed pliant and ...Well, rubbery (!), mine were so stiff they seemed to have been made of wood. My other 50 tyres on various equipment hold no fears when ever I have to replace them (famous last words!! 😂). P.S. Is it the case that (some?) tyres have a steel wire running around the rim of the tyre, which fortunately stopped me snapping the tyre as I tried to force it over the rim of the hub? Thanks.)
Thanks! I was trying to educate a hole next generation of meat heads about music that has soul and substance but RU-vid beat me up about it. so I had to stop.
@@generalprinciple5921 It didn't work by itself, but it definitely helped. Thanks for that trick. Now if only I hadn't popped the tube when putting the tire back on.
For tires that size go on eBay and get a tire breaking tool that you can use with a ratchet and socket. Second thing don't take the wheel off the tractor. Much easier to do when it is on the tractor. Third thing lube lube lube. think about what part of the tire is sliding over the rim and get it lubed up real good
you got it all wrong,alls you gotta do is make a hard left turn goin down a hill then you gotta explain to your dad what happened and he tell you whos paying for it
After having a rough time for years with tires I found your video and cut my time down on the bottom side of the tire by about 20 mins and many curses. Thank you so much, you are worth about a million dollars today in my eyes
Well I was out of breath just watching you pull the bead out, so clearly I'm gonna need a full day to do this since I will need to rest every 3 minutes. Great job.
You can do the same with semi truck tires. One thing you forgot to mention is you have to be in good shape to do this. This brought back memories of hitting the rim then trying for more accuracy. Thanks for the reminding video. Great work.
Can also use a skid steer bucket to break bead.., just press down with bucket edge. Tire spoons, sledge hammer. It's never this easy :) Maybe if I practiced more. Can run a ratchet strap around the tire circumference to push bead toward rim and minimize air loss if inflating with compressor. On the farm, we spray 2s starting fluid in the tire, out over the sidewall, light and step back.
Out here showing people how to tear their beads. Constantly using the wrong bar. Appreciate the thought but damn my guy minimal things you did in this video were actually the correct way.
Well I’ve done thousands for the local transit system and thousands for myself loaders , backhoes , trailers, buses. Heavy trucks and wheel tractors. I’m not a professional tire buster like some of you gentleman but dang I must be good doing all those tires with the wrong bar!
Now, I know I heard you advise folks to start at the stem side and move their way down - which is correct - but you didn't follow your own advice. Worked out ok, but visuals are everything to some people, and the risk to damage to the stem/core is higher not starting to seat/unseat tires at the stem. Otherwise, solid video!
@generalprinciple5921 happens to us all, brother. Folks don't give DIYers enough credit - a tire with a sidewall as tall as that tire you're removing is no joke to remove. You truly make it look much easier than it is...I just did a set myself today - it's not a fun job!
I'm fighting a front tire from a JD4630. Front side came off easy enough, fighting the back side. Having trouble keeping my initial spot in place so i can advance prying tire off, and having trouble getting the irons into place. I tried the hammer trick ....... not working. Help!!!
Started off good but idk why you would beat it off with the hammer when you could just dismount with spoon bar making it 100X easier plus you can damage the bead by doing that. Good video though
Thx! Yeah most need assistance getting past the rim at some point . I’m not actually hitting the rim! I’ve changed dozens and dozens of heavy tires just like that. But good luck and I hope it helps in some way!
Thank you for taking the time to show us how to do it. I Always get yelled at because i don't know how to work properly but thanks to people like you on RU-vid i learn and get better everyday so... Thank you again
powerram92 if you can get away with it a short is handy, but sometimes you need the leverage. Depends on the tires you are doing and what you prefer. I keep several to choose from
Trust Nature Design I’m sorry about that. I am no tech guy and this is one of our early videos. Trying to improve and learn the tech side of things as we go.
