Just checked to nite....rental cost of a Hilti electric breaker (AKA jackhammer) is $42 a day.... if I can do the 7 tires I will have saved $100....less the chiropractor fee...... bandages for blisters..... anf the horse liniment for my back

.....but the satisfaction priceless.....

And if there is extra time on the card, you can shave down the high spots on the barn floor. Beware of letting the kids loose on destructive toys.

I need to remove 4 run flat tyres from the Morris CS8 rims....

I will try the wedge and hammer method but I'm not too optimistic .

Know anyone with a crane (grab) wagon??
The stabilizer legs make great bead breakers!

[Mike K]

Yes I do know a guy with a crane truck, it has the stabilizer legs . Hmmm interesting idea but these tyres have the spacer between the 2 beads and pushing the bead inwards may not have any effect ?

Anyway I got this far and my body gave up. I managed to get some wood between the split rims but the beads are stuck . I poured ATF on the beads

I had a few Morris Commercial 16" wheels to do so I made up this tool from bits of steel and pipe etc. one Saturday morning.
Mk.1 worked but needed some improvements.
Mk.2 Had a reinforced jaw and a chain with a long bolt to pull the toe of the jack hard into the wheel under the rim.
The jig can be moved around the rim depending on how the tyre is coming off.
I had 9 wheels to do with 2 commercial 8.25 x 16 and 2 run flats but they all came off without a lot of effort.
Regards to all.
