Thanks for taking the time and making the effort to film this procedure. I needed the encouragement that it could be done manually while struggling with my efforts. You did this in the video but didn't make a comment that i think is critical. When demounting the tire, you step on the tire on the opposite side of where you insert the prybar. This is critical because it reshapes the tire and give you room to get the prybar into the well of wheel. Also, demount the front side first. Thank you
After we got rolling with everything, probably an hour. Maybe an hour and a half. In the video, the sun is setting and we're changing the first tire. We had all mounted and on the Jeep by dark.
nice video...........now why is it I see so many on youtube using ether? is this just the lazy mans way of seating the bead and can you actually damage a tire doing it that way???????
It's an alternative method of doing it. You can do a lot more damage than just to the tire using ether. It's a dangerous way of seating a bead. I prefer this method because all my facial hair remains on my face.
@bhunt31 Thanks i'll remember that. I've got a little 8 or maybe it's a 10 gallon sears compressor can I use your method with a compressor this small and still seat the bead??
Well, all that, or like 30 seconds on a tire machine. Worth the cash to take to a shop, if you ask me. But I'm someone who has access to a machine ... I could see this being a hugely useful video if I didn't have the means to do it easier.
Right, and the comment that is probably on page 6 by now that I made was the preferred method is to use a machine, but sometimes that's not feasible. We have an off-road team, and we trail ride for days at a time. Sometimes when you get 5-6 miles from the main roads back in the woods, you have to know how to do things without the help of a fully equipped shop. That's what this is for. Education is power and the more you know the better off you are. I'm just a hillbilly.
@bhunt31 Right on. I can totally see this being a life saver when you're out in the sticks with a blown tire. This would be almost impossible with a smaller sports care tire, or maybe even a small passenger tire, but looks like it works great for truck tires.
Thank you. When we shot this we didn't expect it to be anything more than playing around with the video camera, but I'm happy to hear it helped so many people.
Tires do need to be balanced. It extremely lengthens the life of the tire. This method isn't exactly "Jerrying" This is how tractor tires and semi tires are changed. They do make machines to change them also, but are very expensive, most tire shops just opt to change them by hand and throw a bag of balance beads in them to keep them balanced. I worked in a tire shop through High School, and then went to work for Kenworth of Indiana, I have changed a lot of tires this way.
Nice to see a little old school common sense and know how at work. Sure using explosive compression is fun to set the bead but airs a lot cheaper and only a little slower. Nice work.
Please No one do this if you have aluminum mags or chrome rims you will mar the hell out out of them and make them look like crap! This is fine for steel rims with hubcaps. They make nylon covers for actual tire removal tools available at most farm stores for less than $10 and you wont mar the rims instead of using gasket scrapers.
I didn't use any gasket scrapers, firstly. Secondly, we've already discussed how to keep from scratching Aluminum rims and I went into detail about how these rims are used on a strictly off-road vehicle and we weren't concerned with scratches since they would be banging into rocks and off trees for a living. There are precautions that can be taken to keep from scratching up aluminum rims or "mags" if you're still living in the 80's.
Get the one bead you can get off pulled up over the lip of the rim, then try breaking the back one down. You may have to fight with it with a prybar and work it down little by little, but keep at it, it'll come off. Having one bead pulled up over the rim helps put tension on the other bead and gives you a 3rd hand in unseating that bead. I have actually had to run into it the bead with a forklift to get them to unseat. Keep at it, it'll come eventually.
The only engine in that is the one in the Blazer and that was somewhat necessary for the way the bead was busted down. There's a motor in the background when the air compressor kicked on, but again that was necessary.
@bhunt31 Wish if I could shake your hand in person..You just saved me a bunch of money because I'm supposed to have my four tires changed and the shops around here charge an arm and a leg to do it.( Install and balance)...So all I now need is one more big ass screwdriver, four valves and a set of balancing beads...Great video...Thanks.
It is a radial and yes, it's a possibility, but if you slip a belt changing a tire like this, your tire wasn't in the greatest shape to begin with. So, it would be somewhat of a blessing and a curse. I've seen tires slip belts by hitting a curb, it's all about what kind of shape the tire is in to begin with.
You can, but it is suggested that you have that done on a machine. The bubble balancers can be costly and generally it only costs around $4-$6 a tire to balance a tire.
This method of changing a tire is for when you're in a pinch, balancing the tire is better left to a dynamic spin balancer at a tire shop, but it can be done without it.
Sweet Job that is how alot of farm boys use to change tires if we were hours away from town. I have got wimpy and lazy --- so don't do that hardly anymore
real redneck uses his wifes hair spray and sprays some in the tire and lights it instant bead sealing and will make you look cool to the little ones , fire is cool not kicking ha ha
Very informative. Will probably be trying this if my friend won't mount my 33" BFG M/Ts on my new wheels. Got some nice 15"x12" wheels that will work great on the Dodge for only $25 at a church rummage sale. The last person had them for $140 for the set.
allmopars ---- you said you like to mount the wheel from the backside? what kind of rims are they? all car rims that i have seen are small on the front side. they are designed to come off on that way. ive never tried but im shocked that it would even work
That's where the lubricant comes in, if you try it, don't fight it, add more lubrication to the bead, the hardest part comes when the bead dries out and grabs back ahold of the rim. Everything else is a piece of cake from there.
nice video, I personally perfer using a bumper jack to break the bead and mounting the tire from the rear of the wheel so not to damage the chrome. And this guy made it look easy, try it yourself for the first time and see for yourself!
it's definitely not easy as far as physical labor goes. It does take some elbow grease sometimes, but after you do a few you start to learn little finesse tricks to get them to go a little easier. As I said in the video, I can't stress enough about how important the overkill of lube is. When doing this, there is no such thing as too much lubricant on the bead of the tire. The more the better. The beads have a sticky surface to them to seal so they will grab ahold of the rim fast
Saved my butt man many thanks. Watched this video a few time not having a clue how to do it and had the whole mess done in a hour and a half. He ain't kidding about the liberal lube folks, made it stupid easy.
thanks alot dude, i had to remove a tire for the first time in my life, i took me like 4 hours total ( i didnt have the bars u had, just had screwdrivers lol)
Hmmm, a year and a half has passed, those tires have been over some of the roughest terrain you can find around Illinois/Indiana and they're still perfectly fine. Thanks for watching though.
It all depends on what kind of street tire you're talking about, as we mentioned, a low pro can be a real bear, even on a machine. For just an everyday run of the mill street tire like a 235/75/15, they're a piece of cake. There are other ways of busting a bead also if you have access to an air compressor and an air chisel, by putting a blunt tip bit in the chisel and being very careful to stay away from the rim with it, the vibrations help the bead break loose, but it's tedious.
@bhunt31 I just meant like a regular run of the mill tire... Not low profile... I just meant you'd probably seperate the belts by running over a street tire... Some of them are so sensitive that when you turn your wheels into the curb when you park they could seperate..
No problem and again, thanks for watching. It might not be for everyone, but it'll get you out of a pinch. Especially 10 miles back in the hills on the trails.
@midgetmayo its the same basic operation as th tire shops use except without the machine im not sure why belts would seperate or occur any other damage
@civilwaronezeroone It is different. When you use a tire machine it seperates the tire from the rim right on the beed. The rest of the tire gently folds. Where as running it over puts a sharp crease in the whole tire. I am shocked that it didn't seperate the belts.
i dont know how rare tire shops are or how much they cost where you live. $5. here for that. is it out of style to cover your liver spots on your back with a shirt down south?
is there any way i can remove low profile tires like this, im only 19 so i need some help. they are 205/40/r17 tyres on 17inch aluminum rims. i want to take 2 tires off and put them on a different set of rims. thanks
A lot of lube and elbow grease. On low pro tires like that, it's usually worth your while to just take it to a shop and pay the $20 to have them dismounted and remounted. The worst part of any tire change is getting the bead busted off the rim and there's not much sidewall to push on with low pros. I've actually had to take a forklift and run the forks into the bead of the tire as it sat against the wall to get it to bust down before. Low pros can be done, just gotta get lucky.
@bhunt31 i tried to bust the bead in my school since they had a tire machine n all but it just wouldnt give, it would do for instance the top of on side and it would be okay, then i would do the bottom and the top would pop back in. i pretty much tried everything with that machine but got nowhere. ive worked in big rig shops so i know how to do it by hand, low pros are just a pain in the butt though. and also, would this method be fair with 185/60/r15's? thanks once again
Well, for the low pros, the trick I learned on those 1" wide sidewall tires is this: Bust the front bead off, put it on the machine, pull the front bead up over the front lip on the rim(without busting the back bead off), then drop the tire back to the bead buster and bust your rear bead off and it should come off then. The Tiburon tires are about the worst I've ever encountered. The 185/60/15s should come off fairly easy depending on what type of tires they are.
Nah, just experience. Thanks though. I worked at Kenworth when I was 18 til I screwed up my back, they do semi tires the same way, though they're a little easier to slip on.
I haven't done one like that in years, but it can be done. If you don't want to scratch the rim put a carpet remnant on the ground to protect the bottom and get a couple of real tire irons that are wider and tape the plastic from the bottom of a gallon milk jug onto the ends to keep it from scratching.
sorry to cut your critique session off short, but no, the rims are not scratched that badly, just from where we didn't take the extra precautions because we were not concerned about scratches.
As shadowdog500 and I stated, there are precautions you can take to eliminate scratches; however, we weren't concerned about scratches on these particular rims since they were going on a Jeep XJ that would see 99% of it's life on the trails where scratches are an everday occurance. If you don't like this method feel free to have a shop dismount and/or mount the tires for you. It's my preferred method, but there is this option. Neither way is required for any given individual.
Slicks are actually a softer compound tire with a much more flexible sidewall than normal everyday, street use tires, so in all actuality, a slick is easier to put on a rim by hand because the sidewall has more flex and give.
If you're concerned about gouging the rim you can put a shop rag or towel between the bar and the rim and it won't hurt the rim at all. Otherwise, it will scratch the inside of the rim a little along the bead area but won't cause enough damage to keep it from sealing. if you use enough lube the tire will slip right on without too much trouble.
@radioxpirate You can balance them without a machine, there's a tool for that also. We didn't bother balancing these because they go on a Jeep which is strictly an off road vehicle and never sees more than 15 mph, but you can balance tires without a machine.
@bhunt31 you can also put a cup of coolant in each tire and it will do the same as balancing poweder.....words great i run that in my 33s on my old dodge and i do a lot of highway driving and no shake
@radioxpirate All though I'm sure he will balance it later,But you can buy a static balancer that will work just as good for about 50 bucks. Just set it on the balencer and add weights till bubble is centered and hammer them on.
@nullwii the valve stem is part where you add air into the tire. The whole thing works a lot easier if u remove the valve core tho... which is inside the valve stem, especially when inflating
Hell yeah man. It works!

For just an everyday run of the mill street tire like a 235/75/15, they're a piece of cake. There are other ways of busting a bead also if you have access to an air compressor and an air chisel, by putting a blunt tip bit in the chisel and being very careful to stay away from the rim with it, the vibrations help the bead break loose, but it's tedious.

@bhunt31 I just meant like a regular run of the mill tire... Not low profile... I just meant you'd probably seperate the belts by running over a street tire... Some of them are so sensitive that when you turn your wheels into the curb when you park they could seperate..

Out of all the tires I've done that way, I've never had that happen.

No problem and again, thanks for watching. It might not be for everyone, but it'll get you out of a pinch. Especially 10 miles back in the hills on the trails.

@midgetmayo its the same basic operation as th tire shops use except without the machine im not sure why belts would seperate or occur any other damage
civilwaronezeroone 1 year ago
@civilwaronezeroone It is different. When you use a tire machine it seperates the tire from the rim right on the beed. The rest of the tire gently folds. Where as running it over puts a sharp crease in the whole tire. I am shocked that it didn't seperate the belts.

is there any way i can remove low profile tires like this, im only 19 so i need some help. they are 205/40/r17 tyres on 17inch aluminum rims. i want to take 2 tires off and put them on a different set of rims. thanks

A lot of lube and elbow grease. On low pro tires like that, it's usually worth your while to just take it to a shop and pay the $20 to have them dismounted and remounted. The worst part of any tire change is getting the bead busted off the rim and there's not much sidewall to push on with low pros. I've actually had to take a forklift and run the forks into the bead of the tire as it sat against the wall to get it to bust down before. Low pros can be done, just gotta get lucky.
bhunt31 1 year ago
@bhunt31 i tried to bust the bead in my school since they had a tire machine n all but it just wouldnt give, it would do for instance the top of on side and it would be okay, then i would do the bottom and the top would pop back in. i pretty much tried everything with that machine but got nowhere. ive worked in big rig shops so i know how to do it by hand, low pros are just a pain in the butt though. and also, would this method be fair with 185/60/r15's? thanks once again
anasamla 1 year ago
@anasamla
Well, for the low pros, the trick I learned on those 1" wide sidewall tires is this: Bust the front bead off, put it on the machine, pull the front bead up over the front lip on the rim(without busting the back bead off), then drop the tire back to the bead buster and bust your rear bead off and it should come off then. The Tiburon tires are about the worst I've ever encountered. The 185/60/15s should come off fairly easy depending on what type of tires they are.

You can have it balanced on a spin balancer or you can buy a bubble balancer and wheel weights and balance it yourself.

Nah, just experience. Thanks though. I worked at Kenworth when I was 18 til I screwed up my back, they do semi tires the same way, though they're a little easier to slip on.

I haven't done one like that in years, but it can be done. If you don't want to scratch the rim put a carpet remnant on the ground to protect the bottom and get a couple of real tire irons that are wider and tape the plastic from the bottom of a gallon milk jug onto the ends to keep it from scratching.

By the end of the video, the rim is so scratched up and damaged, it looks like it was used on the first tanks of ww1.

@Triple88a
sorry to cut your critique session off short, but no, the rims are not scratched that badly, just from where we didn't take the extra precautions because we were not concerned about scratches.

@bhunt31 "not scratched that badly"... love it
Triple88a 1 year ago
@Triple88a
As shadowdog500 and I stated, there are precautions you can take to eliminate scratches; however, we weren't concerned about scratches on these particular rims since they were going on a Jeep XJ that would see 99% of it's life on the trails where scratches are an everday occurance. If you don't like this method feel free to have a shop dismount and/or mount the tires for you. It's my preferred method, but there is this option. Neither way is required for any given individual.

@SnowRacerX
Slicks are actually a softer compound tire with a much more flexible sidewall than normal everyday, street use tires, so in all actuality, a slick is easier to put on a rim by hand because the sidewall has more flex and give.

wakeboarder1223 1 year ago
@wakeboarder1223
If you're concerned about gouging the rim you can put a shop rag or towel between the bar and the rim and it won't hurt the rim at all. Otherwise, it will scratch the inside of the rim a little along the bead area but won't cause enough damage to keep it from sealing. if you use enough lube the tire will slip right on without too much trouble.

@radioxpirate You can balance them without a machine, there's a tool for that also. We didn't bother balancing these because they go on a Jeep which is strictly an off road vehicle and never sees more than 15 mph, but you can balance tires without a machine.

@bhunt31 true, with sandbags but thats about it.

@bhunt31 you can also put a cup of coolant in each tire and it will do the same as balancing poweder.....words great i run that in my 33s on my old dodge and i do a lot of highway driving and no shake
subsh 1 year ago
@radioxpirate All though I'm sure he will balance it later,But you can buy a static balancer that will work just as good for about 50 bucks. Just set it on the balencer and add weights till bubble is centered and hammer them on.

@nullwii the valve stem is part where you add air into the tire. The whole thing works a lot easier if u remove the valve core tho... which is inside the valve stem, especially when inflating
