Breaking The Bead

Garden shovel works good!

The lever made with a 2 x 4 board under the car is near effortless! :thumbup:

What......you from Texas or something? Actually a shovel does work and it can be good for balance practice.

Side stand on a KTM 990, there's no way am Iam going to be breaking my Dunlop bead with a heel, I need almost all the 200 kg's of the KTMJ most times.

I use a porta-press accross my gagage side door, but a little bottle jack would do the job just as well. You'd probably pick one up at an Auto jumble for

works a treat and cost nothing!!!!!!!! :rotfl::)

Whatever method you use, I find it a lot easier by spraying some wd40 between the tire and rim after you deflate the tire and before attempting to break the bead.

Long bit off wood and a short bit of wood plus rear of car tow bracket. Short bit to beading then long bit as lever under tow bracket and onto short bit. As said lube it to assist it works to help break the bead.

Failling that set fire to the B4ST4RD n burn it off :rotfl:

Is the rear tyre glued to rim?

Ha, ha, not yet. I heard from a friend that rear tyre should be glued to rim, so I'm asking here if that is true. :thumbup:

do it the redneck way bro ( btw im not a redneck) i saw a video where these guys spray something flammable around the edge of the tire where it goes onto the rim and light it and it pops it right of bead :agreed:

Well, actually they use that method to re-seat the tire bead on the rim after it has come loose, which is often with the low pressures and nasty rocks they ride on (kinda like the Fantic front tubeless they tried once). Course, you could try using that method to pop the bead off, but it might be a little dangerous.......:beer:

Change tyres every weekend and never a problem.

That's why youdon't have a problem. The bead never gets time to "glue" itself to the rim.

I have got one of the seally ones that B40RT shows in his post works really well pops dunlops off for fun ^_^
