  • Here's a tool you can make in your work shop to help you break beads loose on stubborn tires. Make dismounting tires easier! Works great for motorcycle, quad, atv, buggy, side by side, car, and truck.
    Home made from scrap pieces of metal and using a common hydraulic floor jack. A DIY build project to keep you busy while the weather is nasty outside...
    For a manual, non hydraulic, version check out Mike Festiva's Bead Breaker video here:

  • @qwertyqwerty3133
    @qwertyqwerty3133 Před rokem +1

    Nice! The curved pieces need to flare out towards the rim. It would push at the tire bead more instead of on the side wall making it pop off really quick. Great design and effectiveness with the floor jack. Also, move the upside down angle iron down so the front wheels on the jack sit flat on the floor, that should keep the tool from raising up when pumping the jack. Love the design, great idea.

  • @Crewsy
    @Crewsy Před 4 lety +4

    Certainly easier than the one my Dad made to do his trailer tires. Strictly a long lever that you lean on but it worked.
    I don’t remember if it was adjustable for tire size or not but it could easily be done.

    Very nice design, I would probably make it to use the mechanical Jack that came with my vehicle that never gets used lol. That way it's not keeping me from using the hydrologic jack somewhere else. My mom's Grand Caravan jack is still good for over a ton of pinch force. Plus if you have the right size socket, you can attach a drill to it and motorize it.

      I used a crappy automotive scissors jack for weight purposes. It goes on the trails with me for repairing tyres. I permanently bolted the old scissors jack onto the lever mechanism so it is one functioning unit. It is slow but light to be able to take with me. It draws quite the crowd sometimes. When they asked how I made it. I just say look for a similar invention on Motodonkey on CZcams. I can not take the credit.

    Mike, I'll own up to making the odd joke, here and on other similar sites, about your "two car garage and a couple of tools". I'll admit they are more out of "tool envy" from one lifetime tool user to another. For all those store boughten tools though, some of the best tricks in your garage are the gems you dreamed up and built or saw in others hands and made your own.KOKO!

    @CraftwerksMC Před 4 lety +1

    This is a great trick. I think the only thing that might improve it is to put a piece of flat plate on the bottom and mount the other ring to that. It will help keep the wheels from flipping up and kicking out like you were experiencing. You could get a piece of old tire and cut it and flatten it to put it on the flat piece to have a scratch resistant surface

  • @donaldburkhard7932
    @donaldburkhard7932 Před 4 lety +1

    Basically you made for one size rim. Use bolts welded to top of top arc and bottom of bottom arc. Then you can change arc size for different rims. Maybe weld round stock on edges that meet tire since may damage tire with edges of arc.

  • @samiam247
    @samiam247 Před 4 lety

    I prefer to use a post vise, not only does it break both beads at the same time but allows you to easily work on the tire/rim by placing the rim on an axle placed in the post vise.

  • @garyshaw4245
    @garyshaw4245 Před 4 lety

    If and when I make mine..........I would extend the lower 2 piece tubings keeping the flat curved plate where it's at. Extend the tubing to mount a adjustable spindle (forward & back) with a flat plate on that to bolt onto the inside of the rim to hold the rim stationary. The less the rim & tire move, the more the the pressure will work better. I would also add a spring to pull the jaws open after releasing the hydraulic pressure on the jack.

  • @frankorosz901
    @frankorosz901 Před 4 lety

    I went online and got look at a diy bead breaker that pinches to rin and then has a bolt actuated foot to push tire off rim. About the same amount of cutting and welding to build. Weighs a couple of pounds. Keep it in back floor of truck. Only need 3/4 inch wrench to work. The commercial versions are $70 to over $100.

  • @supersportimpalass
    @supersportimpalass Před 4 lety +1

    Not to diss your setup but what happens when one of the beads doesn't break? I think it would work better overall if the bottom was extended so you could break each bead individually. Maybe a bolt with a cross bar to hold the wheel down so it doesn't flip up. And maybe an adjustable top bar for different width wheels. Again thank you for the project idea!
