breaking the bead on tires

[BasicBajaX]

I just use a old style bumper jack that would clip in to the groove in the old car bumpers from the 80's and earlier. Just use the stand as the breaker part and the weight of the car to do the rest.

I used the vise idea again today but instead of the board I used two old lawn mower blades and it worked even better. I use two crow bars to get the tire off the rim and to put it back on, then to seat the bead I use ether or a ratchet strap. (careful with the ether though too much can ruin a tire.)
