Wanna get rid of those pesky studs!

[slimchriz]

Here's how...

I got these tires pretty cheap only problem is they have studs.
I was going to see about having a tire place remove them but My wife recently trashed 2 of here tires and I decided to get her all new tires as they were close to bald anyways. $500 later she has new tires and Ive got an empty car/truck budget for next few weeks.
Long story short I decided to try and remove them myself not to hard actually. so I made a vid to show the Reekie method of stud removal.



Note the heavy Boston accent and the almost slurred speech hey it was 8 am! Laugh anyways.

so how long did it take to pull them all out?

We just use a small flat head screwdriver to remove them....nothing complicated about it.

 

[slimchriz]

it took about 30 min a tire

How could you get em out with a screw driver? these are new so there full length this is the only way I could get the tire to give them up.

I tried a screw driver but because of the wide base of the studs it was useless.

WTH? I pulled my studs out after 07/08 winter with good needlenose pliers and it only took about 10-15 minutes a tire. The pliers were new and still had very good tips on them.

Lol well hell I didnt time it. I was doing a million things at the same time and kept coming back to it so yah its just a guess.

Also these are 32s dont know what your runnin

yah my needlenose vise grips are pretty shitty so might not have to grind them but I deffinately had to on mine no way to get in there without the grind....


Anymore critics? lol

We seem to always end up pulling studs out of atleast a couple of sets of tires a year in the shop here and i've always just used my small snapon flat head screw driver. Get it in the hole and under the base of the stud, and pop; out she comes.

Yah? I couldnt get it to grip enough to get under it that way. Is the tip ridged or smooth?
