How to manually remove a tire from rim

How to manually remove a tire from rim. Or in Australian, how to manually remove a TYRE from a rim. This video is specific for how to remove a car tyre from a rim, which can be pretty difficult. Especially because we're removing the tyre by hand!

Good job. I appreciate you not cutting the video when the going gets rough because it gives us a realistic view of what to expect. Ive noticed a lot of guys will cut out the hard and difficult parts before they continue.👍

Hint. By standing on the opposite side of tire when 1st trying to let it off, makes it a whole lot easier. It will place bead in deepest part of rim, resulting in far less leverage req'd.

A good attempt by a person not accustomed to tyre removal. Two things i would suggest, DONT use WD-40 its lubrication is somehow different to a dish soap solution. Make a dish soap solution up and put it in a trigger spray, very handy if you are going to the middle of nowhere. The second one is get a LARGE nylon faced hammer, its much better than the club hammer in the video. You can hit the tyre irons without damaging them, and if you are smacking the tyre and catch the wheel you dont take a chunk out of the wheel!

Can you make a video of how to relace those boots

It's a lot less effort if you leave the first tyre lever in and put the second one to lever the bead off. But grab a rubber mallet and whack the beads down with the mallet sliding the tyre lever round as you go.Don't take too big a bite of bead with the second lever.. Another way to break the bead is to drive over the tyre moving it around, then drive over the next part.

I use 3 levers and alternate them as I go around, I even half release the tension on the prior lever to make a gap to get the next lever in while holding the first lever with my foot. If you take little bites it's a lot easier.

No link to the other video? I can't break the bead in the back side of mine

[daffyduk]

You could try a big G-clamp or a vice (vise in US), not tried it yet, the tyre will be destroyed possibly. Perhaps in conjunction with a metal plate or wooden board at the underside of the tyre, holding the other side of the tyre down by standing on it

Great technique especially if you want to chip all the paint off your rims and promote rust and poor sealing … and next time use washing up liquid as a lubricant and make sure you have the bead in the well, that’s what it’s for!

[ralphinator]

I recommend placing the wheel face down on top of wood or cardboard, so you can use the levers on the back side instead of the front

First step getting the bead over was to big a step....your could hear the tyre creeking.

The lever are a bit short also for a 4x4 tyre.

[garrygemmell]

Would it not be better taking it off the rear of the rim to avoid scratching the front of the alloy?

[elsecomojado]

Try from the back of the wheel the next time.

You must NEVER use WD-40 on rubber. It degrades rubber and you don't want your tire bursting while you're doing 70mph. Also you must never try to teach a skill you don't have.

This vid confirmed to me I'll need 6 complete wheel and tyres on big trips 😂

[rakkasan]

Screw that.... I’ll just take it to the tire shop. Lol.

How to get a tire off the rim the hard way.

[glynnbaker]

Mate, did you have to do that on the other 4 tyres as well? that would have been one hell of a work out.

[jakebradbury]

This video show be titled how to take a tire off the rim the hard way when you put the pry bar in press the opposite side in the give slack then when it needs more slack kick it again pushing into the middle of the rim were there the slack will come from or you can just pry bar it away smack it with a hammer and pry and pry making a pain in the arse out of a little job and the other thing is don't take big steps with the bar take smaller steps

Man! This was the best YouTube video I’ve ever watched! You couldn’t have done a better job at helping me save myself a hammer thru the window or having to register for anger management! My conclusion is made and it’s a hard HeLL No!!!! But hey, at least I know it can be done! Cheers, You earned yourself a cold beer for that one 😂
