how to unbead a tire??

Well yeah thats true, but you can be maimed or worse during any part of your build. Thats part of the fun.


Put the wheel on your truck turn hard to the right, and hammer the gas. It will come off the bead eventually LOL. Seriously tho, 3-5 bucks for the shop to unseat the bead, and they will prolly just completely dismount it for the same.

Got a garage that is yours? Go to harbor freight and spend 50 bucks on their manual tire changer. Works great.

Yep i have one too, mostly use it for smaller toy trailer tires but it works okydoky.

Plus it's really fun re-seating the bead with starter fluid.

high lift jack under a bumper of something heavy and tire spoons to take the tire off the rim. isnt that hard, but i havent had any decent size tires to mess w/ yet. takes no time to do dinky ranger tires or tires off a fwd car
