Breaking the bead????
How can I get a stubborn tire off a rim WITHOUT taking it somewhere to get done? I've tried driving my Grand Cherokee tire up on it right along the rim edge and it still didn't break the bead. Please help!

Re: Breaking the bead????
Did you try letting all the air out of the tire first?

2 wrecker bars usually do the trick one to pry one to hold

The tire has a 6" cut in it so I don't think it will have much air in it.
I couldn't resist. RIZ |

Re: Breaking the bead????
I have a tre changer so its easy but when im not at home i have taken a bumper jack put it on the tire next to the rim and put it under my trucks bumper and jack it up but be ready to move quicly if it slips, it may not be the safest osha approved way but ive grown up in junkyards and it works for me
