Removing Tires fom Wheels - Page 2

please take your emissions test back too, ontario adapted an emissions test off of cali's... here you can haul any amount of tires and dump them for free at the city dump as long as your only taking in tires at the time, car batteries are different here, you can only be hauling 12 at a time or it's a fine if you get stopped

we'll take back our laws, when you take back Bieber, an return that gangsta drake..(lol) to Degrassi.

Millions of Americans would thank you for taking them back.

We just want our neighbors to breath a little easier, you know the winds for the most part "BLOWS EAST". As Just-IN time Bieber, I don't think our northern neighbors want him back! Parliamentary leaders in Canada called Bieber a "spoiled, self-important, talentless miscreant with an undeserved ego, whose continual misbehavior and abuse of status to violate public safety laws make him a better fit as a celebrity in America than in the land of pine and maple." LOL Aey!

sorry, but I am sure that is one thing 99% of Canadians couldn't/wouldn't help out our American neighbors with... I think what we should do is collectively put him on a dingy and send him out to sea

I like the jack idea offered I never tried that. I have an old tire machine however certain tires just wont brake the bead. What I do is put some oil on the bead (anything slippery) then lay the tire flat in the driveway and run my truck tire over it as close to the rim as I dare. Once in a while (rarely) I will have to do this about every 30 degrees two or three times. But I always get the bead broke. Then flip the tire over and do the second side. The slippery or oil will also help greatly with your manual levers. This also works for those trailer and motorcycle tires that wont go on my machine.

LOL @ Burt. That's awesome. I saw the mayor of a town in Australia called him the princess of pop..lol.

An Shaun...it was worth a shot. If you guys don't want him back, that says a lot.

Sirscrapalot - You know your not liked very much when a country tries to get a petition going to have you removed.

Hey, there's lots of ideas on YouTube for tire removal from a rim. Using a 2x12 as a ramp (on the tire) and driving your vehicle up the ramp is a decent idea also. I've used the pallet fork from my skidsteer but not if I wanted to keep the tire......poked a hole in a nice tire one day. Laying a wheel/tire flat and driving over the side might work also.

Not sure of the exact name for the hammer but we always called it a duckbill hammer at the shop I worked at. Used it for truck tires.

In my garage I use a coats 20/20 in the field I use a hand held quickie saw with an abrasive blade and it marches right through them. Quickie saw is like what they use to cut concrete and common on construction job sites.

Never thought of using rachet straps, I will have to try that out.

Broke down some more tires today. Up until now I was spraying the bead with a soapy solution. Then it dawned on me to spray the bar before each use. That makes it a LOT easier to dismount. Hindsight is such a turd sometimes.

The best thing about this post is I'm learning about dismounting a tire off a rim. Then it changes gears and we're talking about Justin beiber and Drake... You never know what you'll see here.. Oh and Btw I'm a big fan of the sawzall method.. Your right cutting the rim is a definite. . . It seems like 10 years ago rims were classy and high end now you can get big chrome wheels for cheap...
