fixitrod Posted November 7, 2003 Report Posted November 7, 2003 Excellent. I remeber people were fighting to break a bead. I'm going to use this. I ordered offset rims before adding my a-arms and shocks. I want to put them back the way they are suppose to be. This will work great. Thanks again. Quote
Blue Duece Posted November 7, 2003 Report Posted November 7, 2003 Your welcome Rod, Glad to be of help......i have one of those little portable air tanks i take on riding trips and can change a tire anywhere, or repair a flat...... Quote
. Posted November 7, 2003 Report Posted November 7, 2003 I got one of those Nac's beadbreakers. Their not that expensive, 50 bucks or something like that. Your way is a little bit cheaper probably, and a good idea I love it, pops beads off no problem. I even made an extension for it and we change out truck tires with it. Still gotta get the regular ones balanced, but forget trying to balance mudding tires. Quote
2001SSTBanshee Posted November 7, 2003 Report Posted November 7, 2003 My homemade bead breaker has been the front tire of my Ford F-550 with someone standing on the rim. Those ways sound a lil better. Quote
Screamin_Demon Posted November 13, 2003 Report Posted November 13, 2003 Good idea... may have to try that out. Could you possibly get some pics for illistrations? Usually, i just have my fat friend step on it a few times and waddle around on the sides of the tire. Quote

Usually, i just have my fat friend step on it a few times and waddle around on the sides of the tire. hell yeah ill take a pic and post it Screamin, but picture a board with 2 long bolts stickin up out of it, with another board on top squeezing a tire, i actually havent used mine in a long time but still have it, i picked up a real swell bench vise a while back that bust's a tire like nobodys business and will get a ball joint free from a spindle decently, makes a really handy vise too....i drove my car up a board onto my rim once and with my luck the rim jumped straight up, hit my bumber and ruined a good polished ITP, thats when i bought a new front rim and made the 2x6 breaker....

Screamin_Demon Posted November 13, 2003 Report Posted November 13, 2003 LMAO... imagine so. I've got a boogered up polished ITP rim too. Something happened on the way to little sahara last trip and the paddle and rim got up against the latch on the tie down. Bounced the whole way like that... so you can imagine what it looks like now. I can picture it in my mind on what you're talking about... but pictures are worth 1,000 words so they say, lol. Quote
