Good idea...definitely don't want those bolts shearing off when replacing the tire.

Yes. That is why I had to change out both because one went bad.

QUESTION.. SO YOU TAKE OFF BEADLOCK RING 1st BEFORE THE TRAILER TRICK ??

Yes, you need to take the beadlock off before you can dismount the tire. Be patient and careful unscrewing the 12 bolts, I wasn’t patient and stripped the bolt, and needed to buy a whole new rim

WD 40 worked well for me but yep, soapy water is another good choice. Good tip.

They make special tire install lube just for this...

Thanks for the comment. I don't think it really applies to my SxS. We are not hitting highway speeds where balance would be a real issue. I know some folks toss in balance beads but I haven't found them necessary. 33 is a big tire for sure and a lot of rotational mass. If you are driving highway as well as trail, I could see that balancing would be desired.

Yes, you should. Removing the ring will break the seal anyway so it's best to take the pressure off the bolts before loosening them.

Lol

Only when doing beadlocks. LOL

Yes. Sorry, should have showed that step.

Thats where the drill comes in handy but do a cross pattern method a little at a time. You don't want to warp the ring.

Not rude at all. That is a great tip. Thanks for sharing and stopping by as well.

Yep, I considered that as well. I think I am gong to just fab up a bead breaker with some scrap square tubing. Shouldn't be too hard to do. I wouldn't mind brushing up on my welding skills again. MIG welders are pretty cheap these days.

If you have an old bumper jack they work good the base is curved and goes around the rim nice.

Agreed. But then you would likely be changing the wheel and tire. I never carried just a tire on the trail. I think most people carry a full spare when out on the trail.

Um, thanks. I used to work for AMD for a number of years and have a lot of T Shirts left from those days. So, this is one of the shirts I wear when working on cars.

Rough Riders haha that’s cool. I used their hardware a good amount in workstations and builds for customers. Just had to spot that out.

Beadlocks actually clamp the tire edge in place. This allows you to air down really low without breaking the bead. This is helpful when you are in loose conditions like sand or need more tire surface for traction like rocks. Additionally, if you hit a corner really hard and the tire sidewalls want to roll from the lateral pressure on them, they won't lose the outside bead and you won't get a flat. Tire shops don't like them because they can't use automated machines on them. You have to remove and install each bolt by hand so it's not an efficient use of their labor.

Ya. good video. No strap needed.👍

It's a fine back of the napkin approach.

Actually, none of the shops near me will work on bead locks. Besides, where's the fun in letting someone else do it?

Why? Lazy?
