Yes it does scratch the rim a little, but not bad if your careful. Seems to work great on aftermarket rims, but I cant break the bead on the stock rolled rims.

Skidmark Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 just lay the tire on the ground and put a small 2x4 or piece of wood and pull up on it with your car or truck. El Cheapo, but it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mullet Man Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 just lay the tire on the ground and put a small 2x4 or piece of wood and pull up on it with your car or truck. El Cheapo, but it works. doesnt work that good. we tried that with an F-250 e-cab, some stock honda wheels and tires. we ended up having to cut the tires off the rims with a sawzall and side cuts for the wires at the beed. what a PITA! i swear the tires were welded on the rims! sons o bitches did not want to come off.

3 Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 2 by 4 and a pick up truck just doesnt work on stocker tire, i tried it last night. Cheapest way, go to your local garage and have them break the beads for you on their car tire machine. Pry them off the rims youre self at home. 5$ under the table always work :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox_forma Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 harbor freight tire changer, breaks the bead everytime, already paid for itself around my way since dealers charge around $20 per tire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humbleslc Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 The 2X4 method worked for me, one size goes reall well but then the other side is allittle harder but i had my freind on the tire while i drove onto it and it worked fine.
