How to take a tire off a truck with out taking the rim off

[John87454]

Dude, I freakin applaude you. It took me hale hour to get ta tire off and another one on my truck.

[masterhacker1989]

JUST WHAT I WANT IN MY TIRE WATER! Do what i do and pay the nice mechanic down the street $5 to do it

[apexLT]

nothing special. i mounted lower profile tire for buick riviera without any tools. just hands and botle of gasoline.

[junekentucky]

Is that motor oil for a lube? Doesn't that damage the tire? Meant at 1:01, the 1gal jug you poured on the back of the tire.

[junekentucky]

Is that motor oil for a lube? Doesn't that damage the tire?

[avsfan118]

So do u need a "Hook Bar" and a "Spoon" to dismount it or can u do it with 2 "hook bars" as well?? Thanks for any help

[whyudoin]

What did you paint on the side of the tire at 1:45 in the video? what is that for?

[deerman1212]

@whyudoin lol not paint its soap to help it slide on easier...

[fatguylittlebike]

you got skills dude!

[animal900]

That air kiss at 0:08 was about the creepiest thing this side of Michael Jackson.

[TheWaterman1000]

Ok... I tried the outside removal and no problems. Now I blew an inside tire. Is it possible to mount a tire on the inside after you remove the outside rim. Also, brain fart. If I'm correct you loosen the lugs on the drivers side clockwise and on the passanger side counter clockwise? I also was informed that the torqe spec for outside lugs on my truck are 550LB foot pounds. If I have to remvoe the inside rim, what would th torq specs for the inside studs be?-Thanks

[jmonroe519]

i have used this method many times i use the Gaither tool system they work the same way but its one tool to remove the outside bead if my inside bead is stuck i use either the duckbill to break it loose or use a spoon bar but that is a all position tread marangoni its called RZY i dont remember the michielin or bandag name

[2040Rumely]

@jmonroe519

Bandag calls that tread RTP

[Nathanrailfan]

Damn I wanna do that!

[wildfire758]

SOMEBODY GET THIS GUY A BEER

[banjerman2]

dammmm you know your shit whats yourph no lol jim

[mocskoskukorica]

How fast redneck work... :D

Amazing!

[3619Country]

I have seen the guys from the shop do this to save time. I can't do it, but I don't have enough experience changing big tires. Real handy to be able to do it on the side of the road. Cutting back on time you have to spend there is a big plus.

[Chyrnobil]

badass

[tgmod]

Crap its harder then it looks, I tried this today and I couldnt get the backside bead to break, I was beatin the hell with it and ended up taking it off. I think I need to get the spoon bar you were talking about too.

[SuperNobama1]

I see you have never done this before...... LOL , Nice work man Nice work ! Maby get some gloves as you could nuckle yourself on some shabby metal if your bar slips . Have a good 1 !

[bobpi3141]

meow, cheetah.

[chole4me1]

great job!! looks like a mixer truck i used to drive.... where is this???

[555chiki]

the best

[tgmod]

Have you ever done the inner like that?

[98k1500z71]

@tgmod you caint do the inner like that, for an inner you have to take the whole rim and tire off the truck and then dismount it from the back of rim because thats where the dropcenter is.

[98k1500z71]

@tgmod you caint do an inner like that, you would have to take rim and tire off of truck and then dismount it, because of the drop center you have to dismount from backside of rim.

[gengis125]

@SingNico Is that a mixer? The back looks like the back of a mixer where the basket is. Good video man ;)

[workshop77777]

No need for a gay ass tyre changing machine here I see

[blaccsuhn]

good technique!

[pingpongpung]

Hey! No machinery allowed! Inflate it with your mouth!

[Nismoke]

nice!4 minutes truck tyre change

[TheWaterman1000]

I have 11r22.5's and I'm yet to get them to air up without the phoom methode. I tried the on the truck and worked pretty ok. Looking at the fronts might get tight, unless I jack the cab up. Nearly got wacked a couple of times by the T454's I was using. Dam bars are long. Will get a spoon bar next time. And soap up those beads. Rough sex with a tire is to tiring ;) Besides at almost seventy bucks per. You will save some money doing It yourself. But do It safely.

[seasonedtoker]

this tyre has been through a lot! :)

[marktsheppard]

no gloves-

using your legs-

badabing badaboom-fast and a real professional

[chobies]

good job but i'd like to see you try this technique on a new lexis or mercedese 18' rim without pissing off the customer or breakng a TPMS sensor.

[woodsonNworthing]

@chobies this way is only for heavy trucks, a new lexus or mercedes would go to a dealer anyways.

[chobies]

@woodsonNworthing OMFG i was jokin i hate it when people get all personal about their job.. and by new i mean like 09' 10' ish those come to my shop all the time, you serve the best when you are the best. lol again just kidding i've worked on trucks and buses and bikes what can i say i love the automobile and the tech that it brings. and again props to the guy in the vid.

[JohnGalt42088]

You my friend are THE FUCKING MAN!!! XD

[Kaliber35]

i enjoy watching people who are good at what they do

[SAUL6858]

ja ja ja ja I WAS DOING LIKE THAD 12 YEAS A GO

[Schwackin502]

props bro. worked for service tire in the northeast changed a million like this. truck tires are actually easy once you learn the tricks. work for a trucking company now. still love to change them 5 stars

[Busdude97]

Pretty cool yall. Where is this?

[outskirtscustoms]

fast tire man there, he got the thing back on the road faster than it'd take to get the rimm off. Would have been faster to use ether to seat the tire just a quick spray around the rim and light it.

[SingNico]

@343ofFDNYsfinest

cause the drop center is on the inside of most passenger car rims,, and you have to take the tires off that side

[JestersWord75]

Damn that was Fast. I bet you are a valuable employee. I wish I knew this back in the day when i was a youngster and help changing my grandpas dump truck tires. I recall using the same tools and laying the rim on the ground, and beating the shit out of it for longer than it took u to do the whole thing. 5*'s !! Would this work on some mud truck tires on 16" rims.

[SingNico]

@JestersWord75

naw it wouldnt work caluse you gotta take off the rim and rip the tire off the backside caust that is where the drop center is

[JestersWord75]

@SingNico...Well would I be able to do it on the ground. I still have the Hammer and spoon and the bar. But it seems the passenger vehicle tires are alot tighter than the big rigs. I got some 38" tires for 16" rims

[necroterrorizer]

@SingNico next video lip an inside tire off of a aluminum bud wheel with un bolting the outside tire

[SingNico]

ummmm, I wouldnt, ha ha

[cordless33]

wow very fast and helpfull nice video!

[pickelhead007]

why did you just put a recap trailer tread on a drive axle..????? ..im uessin this is american?? because in canada that is not allowed up here. and its pointless. but great job on making all the non tire guys ( and by that i mean all the joe blows that dont understand drops in the rim) think that they can do this on all the rims on their mini vans and newer pickups...cant wait to see a increase in people stuck under their vehicles

[SingNico]

no this is not Canada, sorry,,,,,,,,,,,, and if someone gets stuck under thier car cause of this video, then Im suprized they made it this far.

[SingNico]

@pickelhead007 oh, and it wastn a trailer cap either, sorry. That cap comes in a lug or rib , that one is the rib. The tread is an inch deap, and im sure you know that trailer tires dont have that deap tread.

[blaccsuhn]

@pickelhead007 alot of tread patterns are all position.

[2040Rumely]

@pickelhead007

What do you mean it's not allowed in Canada? I just did it 4 days ago...

[pickelhead007]

@2040Rumely ok i was wrong then sorry...ive never seen a rib put on a drive axle!! my mistake good vid and im sure very helpfull to guys just startin out good tips guys and good technique on the bars singNico!!

[mrwilliwizard]

hahaha thaknks for the kiss

[xlelanolx]

Dude you are a badass. thanks for the video

[MaxPayne19146]

wut about balancing?

[dealsat34759]

i just find that using vise grips and 1 bar works better for me. but everyone has there own way and what the most important thing is that the job got done without getting hurt. good work man

[rafajrv]

im a tire man 2, just had one of those fuckers explode on me yesterday. luckily it only got my leg, my pants onthe other hand lol, literally blew them away, well just the right pant leg. juts looks like someone slapped my leg, a little red was all, so lucky.

[SingNico]

man that sucks!  Ive seen it before. Did it make a zipper sound before it went?

[rafajrv]

it made more of a cracking/poping sound a sec. or two before it went.

[SingNico]

@rafajrv

yeah, Ive had a few in my day start to crack and make that sound. just gotta take the air chuck off and run away, lol

[natemorris925]

pretty cool.. im gonna have to try that sometime at work next time an outside goes flat

[hessvillage]

Wrong way place the straight bar at the bottom then work your way around

[warrior859]

balance a recap what a dick anyway good job bro thats how we roll in NEW ZEALAND and those C T I air units sux

[Tater314]

Is it really just water you are using to lubricate the beads?

[matts4290]

We always used mineral spirits. He might be using water though.

[Justjonny01]

@Tater314 No it's SOAP & WATER.

[1SicMind]

i know enough to be safe but i just relize it's amarican.... and b4 someone goes shooting there mouth about me being canadian and such i'm half amarican. we just roll diffrent up here i guess....

[1SicMind]

Didn't clean the rim or balance it? ummmm unsafe and if i was the owner of that truck i would be pissed if my tire went flat a while down the road due to a bad beed set because the rims was corroted... due to miss instalation.....

[SingNico]

Balance a 315 recap? Really? You must know a lot more about truck tires than me.

[SingNico]

and as far as cleaning it, the rin never touched the ground, and didnt you see me wiping the little dirt off the top of the rim???????

[1SicMind]

LOL you must not know anything about rims my friend. the get "dirty" or corrosion on them around the bead and should be cleaned to make for a better seal, I worked in a shop and cleaned every rim that went near my machine.but like i said maby we roll diffrently but i know i sure as hell wouldn't let the tire go on my moms big rig unless it was done properly.

[SingNico]

@1SicMind

no man, I dont know anything about rims. I couldnt even tell you how many tires I mounted like this.

[1SicMind]

@SingNico maby the shops i have been to just like to work extra hard

[jamesrebel130]

@1SicMind man no one ever cleans the rim unless its bad. You never see a shop doing it

[Stormchaser2be]

@1SicMind Keep in mind tho, this guy has just sucessfully changed one big rig tire faster than most guys can rotate 4 tires on a regular car or truck. And apparently no one has had any problems because he seemingly does this daily and i'm pretty sure he's seen doing it by quite a few people who could come back at him if there were any problems. Point is, he changed it skillfully, quickly, and safely. So, i'm pretty sure he knows a little bit about rims.

[1SicMind]

@Stormchaser2be i have seen better

[hurricanebros]

Can You Post A Video How To Remove All 4 Rims On A Car?

[llm28]

so much eaiser than pulling the rim to bad its illeagle to do it up her in ontario canada

[IORNK9]

Nico...you'er my hero

[charleedennis]

i us the log loader lol

[DECKA1]

top job mate

[jujutube123]

Good job for a Goodyear dealer. Of course we Bridgestone dealers are always better. And Bandag rules on concrete and garbage trucks!

[sabordobruin1]

damn ... that's pretty damn good

[bykashka75]

would be a lot better if you job bitches with tits dancing around

[bykashka75]

take a leak on the tire

[schl0tte]

great job! would this work with a 13x22,5?

[landieuk]

Good job you make it look so easy, works really well if that back bead breaks easy. You wait until you get a dayton rim try breaking the back bead on that without taking it off especially if it's been on a trailer for a few years lol.

[SingNico]

yes, Daytons blow

[jamesakaduke]

yo man i have never seen it done starting the outside bead at the top il have 2 give that a shot we always start it at the bottom... good job man!

[informationguru1000]

I ment no disrespect to you or the other pro's out there that charge a fare price and do good work. This guy diserved to be called a tire monkey for what he was doing and did.. because of his screw up on this job, my truck, I got drug into a legal mess that cost me a few thousand for a mouthpeace. There are far too many unpros out there that give you, and yes me a bad rep.

[SingNico]

its all good. Ive seen plenty of bad tire guys.

[informationguru1000]

The truck screech to a halt. In short no one got hurt. But, the tire shop had to layout $25,000....

[informationguru1000]

Wow, great job. I had to remount a rear dulie(sic).What about balancing the tire.? I own a water tanker and started to maintain it my self. The last tire monkey charged me $200.00 to mount another tire. Shesssh.. Man wish I had a vid on the last guy. He slipped on the tire, flipped it up, fell off and the tire rolled down the hill, onto the hightway, clipped a geo, geo banged a dump truck, truck ran over a hot dog cart.

[cullennewsom]

That gentleman may not react well to being called a tire monkey!

[silentbob71420]

@ $200 call him whatever

[usadak]

nice

[radiodiary1]

YOU ARE A BADDDD MANNNNNN,,,,,SMILE

[paratrev]

does this work with all sizes of tires?

[Omgisuckatd2]

wow you are way good at what you do

[insideriverside]

You are earning your keep, nicely done

[lindscol]

It's a pity the Beaurepaires and Bridgestone guys that help the truckies here in QLD Aust. were more useful like you are... they take anything up to two hours trying to change tyres the "proper" way

[SingNico]

gesh, I can do 8 drives on a truck in an hour and a half, if I take my time.

[samiisamm930]

so much easier to take the tire and rim off and then change it, man it looks like that tire was whoopin your but man

[bigtyre777]

Yeh very easy when the well is with you.

But when it aint you,ve got no choice but to take the wheel off!

[nichaaron]

I do this out on the road, but its kind of against policy

[chimizo78]

Thank you for sharing.

[greenpowercr]

pissing your tire would work too?

[Laofse]

You're fast.

[BCRichWarlock08]

thats pretty cool. id like to try that

[Dieselolds]

Thats amazing work.

[funguysmall]

What do you do if the bead isnt as easy as that to break, you know sometimes they can be bastards!

[SingNico]

if you know how, you can get a prity good lick on the inside and outside bead with a hammer. And yes, sometimes you just have to take off the rim, but these trucks to through tires so fast that it usually isnt a prob

[bulldog0046]

Man where are guys like you when I am sitting on the side of the road with a flat? The last guy I had spent 20 min just trying to get the rim off the trailer.The trailer had been sitting awhile and the rims were rusted together. It was an outside tire. Great Job 5*

[SingNico]

Man, love me some outside tire flats! lol.

[stildew]

Smooth Operation !

[384233]

kiss kiss0:09

[mnbvcx12m]

we have one of the local tire companies come out to the yard to look at all of out tires and when one needs changed they do it that way and make it look easier than it is

[Drivenout]

I noticed how you used two bars to reinstall the tire, it seems to be a rather slow process, i've learned that if you stick a straight bar at the bottom of the tire bead, then use a hook bar to pry it on against gravity works quicker, sometimes you dont need the straight bar, just hook your leg down there to keep the bead past the rim flange and pry away

[SingNico]

Yeah, I know how to do it that way to, and I just like doing it this way. That way I can use gravity more. Also, this one went on slower cause it was a realy stiff 315 recap. 11r 22.5 and 24.5" just flop right on.

[DramaTubeFag]

Made skill. Thanks for sharing!

[larkolepsy]

that was cool

[cmaninu2]

man I did that with my bar and a claw hammer.

[DieselProductionz85]

this may be off topic but ... say if i wanted to change rims to my car, would i have to take the tire off the car? or can i just somehow take the rim off ? the car is a 97 accord

[SingNico]

you are only changing the rims? or the tires?

[2040Rumely]

Well done again! I do it that way too if it's an outer and I don't want to remove the rim. I do one thing different though. When I put it back on, instead of holding it with one bar (hand) I use a set of vice grips on the rim to hold it in place and then you have 2 free hands.

[SingNico]

yeah, I have done it that way to with the vice grips. I just started doing it without them cause it was jsut one less tool I had to get out of the truck. lol. Plus, that 315 is kinda stiff, a 11r22.5 or 24.5 flops on so easy that you rally dont need the vice grips.

[karim8604]

shit i wish we could take the inside one off without taking the wheel off that be the shit

[SingNico]

yeah that would be cool. You can on a bud nut though, if you take off the outside rim.

[BmxOhio]

Nice, I know techs who've been in the business for like 30 years and still can't skin a tire.

Ever skinned tag axle tires on Alum wheels? I just adjust the breaks tight with my 9 1/6 once they raise the axle break the bead, if the wheels are nice i'll lay a rag or a bar cover on my bars. Those Alcoa wheels come off smooth on the front side of the wheel too.

[SingNico]

yeah, I love alum wheels! You can also do a 10-22.5 front even if its a steel wheele cause the tire is narrower and it still fits in the drop center. peace.

[BmxOhio]

Yeah i've had to skin steers on alum cause the guy blew a tire and was too close to the median to get my gun in. I used 2 18 inch spoon bars and some leather wheel protectors from ken tool, so I didn't scratch the wheel. it helps if you know how to adjust brakes so you can make the wheel tight so it wont spin.

[Obsidian1985]

so slow :P skip the spoon bar from the outside part, I'll try to toss up a vid sometime to show you some more tricks. I can have one dismounted, mounted and aired up again in less than 3 minutes from the second the air is out. Also... Skip jacking it up. If you start the first bead at the bottom instead of trying to push it up from the top you can do it on a loaded trailer without jacking it up.

[SingNico]

Yeah, Id like to see one not jacked up, makes sence the way you described it. I can do them faster than this vid, its only 4 minutes long, and I waste time with all that talking, lol. Ive done them in 8 minutes from the time I drive up, till the time I drive away. That was at the human waste plant in downtown Pensacola, smells reeeeeal bad there, lol.

[SingNico]

no poroblem!

[Gladiator0719]

Excellent post, you just made me savy on a very important skill. I'll save time and much money.Thank you, Semper Fi

[mickstang350]

I was talking about the retread you just installed. I bet you plug tires too.

[SingNico]

nope, dont plug them, and the tire is ok, any good tire guy would know that.

[BeefBurgers]

What a fucking hack hitting the bead with a hammer!

[SingNico]

Well, you know, I asked really polite and all for the junk tire to come off the bead but it just wouldnt listen.

[mickstang350]

You should never strike the tire with a hammer during mounting, I'm telling Kevin Rohlwing.

[fg420]

I know a different way,to long to explain.U ever try putting the bar on the bottom(at about 6 o'clock) and holding it with your foot?I'm going to try your way monday.I like it cause you don't need the cage.good Luck stay safe.

[Obsidian1985]

I use the bar in the bottom method too, much quicker. Just takes a bit of brute force and 2-3 bites

[tiolindo71]

instead of using 2 bars when you mount the second bead ,put a vice grip on the top ,like at 2 o clock , then pry with the small spoon . push with elbow and knee to make it easier .greetings from mexico .thats how we do it over here .

[SingNico]

Yeah, Ive tried the vice grip, they also make a tool called a wedge that slips on. I just perfer it with the two bars cause its one less tool I have to pull out of the truck lol. It is a little harder at first without the wedge, but faster once you get good at it.

[accountabilabuddy1]

Guess you've done it a few times, huh? Thanks for posting. I'm trying it today, but the wheels are off.

[sensfan07]

how would you balance it or does it need balancing

[SingNico]

no, you dont need to ballance recaps. Especially on a cement truck with concrete all over the rims, lol.

[Drivenout]

where I work, we generally use "balancing beads" in place of hammer on weights, they are weighted amounts of small glass sand pellets that are put in the tire to balance it internally using centrifugal forces

[SingNico]

Yeah I have used the beads. I have also used equal (its like a sand) and a liquid with a rust inhibitor and threads of teflon to stop leaks. I kinda like the liquid best, but as far as them actually ballencing the tires, as you know, the truck drivers all have vastly diferent opinions as to what works, lol.

[jennytire]

Sorry .. But I am better! you got the truck on a block or a jack? i dont use a block or a jack. P.S. change the valve!!!!!!!

[Obsidian1985]

yeah dude, valve change! grab a ratcheting 9/16 wrench, its a snap.

[HoustonMetal]

I had a long gripe about safety issues.

But then again I work for T/A.

[anooseholay]

Dude, that's pretty damned impressive. I spent an hour beating on an ATV tire once and couldn't even break the bead. Nice job.

[SingNico]

thanx guys

[Danny19921125]

Awesome! Good idea!

[alitou001]

very nice job
