5000 lb. BEAD BREAKER !! NO PROBLEM 250SX TIRE SWAP

[CRAZY70MAN]

I had a junk set of blackwaters on my 87sx while deerhunting a few weeks ago. I acquired these in a trade...thanks Kiser... I could no longer bear the shame in the mud on those steep hills. Threw these Maxxis All Trac 22's on the ole' gal!! I used my high lift farm jack and a 1998 f-150 with great results to break the beads:Bounce:Bounce Always wanted to make a reese hitch receiver for it and prolly will when I get time. This worked absolutely fantastic!!! http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/oo321/andyatc70/th_beadbreaker.jpg (http://s388.photobucket.com/albums/oo321/andyatc70/?action=view&current=beadbreaker.jpg) Jut be sure to keep jack straight and go easy..... popped em' right off in seconds with just the regular jack base. Boy the SX digs now.:twisted:.....what a difference.

Works well as the jack is......would really be the cats meow if you had a semi circular beveled bead breaker either home made or from an old machine on the jack base.

i've been doing it that way since i was a kid,the older bumper jacks work really good,the base on them fit around the rim instead of just being square.

lol.....desperate times call for desperate measures.lol

I just drive the front wheel of my van over them. Loads of control, you can run round the rim to a degree, and you're a bit further away from it if it goes 'ping'!

[schneed]

yea we have just driven the truck up a board to do the same thing, but maybe we'll to try that next time!

crazy70man, how well do the Maxxis All Tralks do? i got some on the back of my lil honda 110 but i dont take it mud riding. I might get a set for the 250sx this spring if they do fairly well.

I had them out in a few inches of snow a though a few small ditches and they really hooked up well. I will test em' this weekend.....muzzleloading season comes in!! I have read a lot of good reviews about them..

[1985BigRed250ES]

ok. sweet. yeah let me know how well they do. if they do decent then i will get a set for my SX this spring.

How convenient... I have a set of tires I want to de-mount and I have a recently acquired high lift...

[brapp]

i just use the cuttign edge oin the dozer, skid steer tooth of the excavatoir bucket, or the bucket on the tractor lol but mini excavator works the best by far plade on one side and the tooth on the other and can break beads in less than a few seconds

SMART! Tires can be a PITA to do at home without the right equipment.
