I finally got enough time to get the tires and rims I'm selling to a member here. When I went to the only shop that will mess with our rims they wanted 10$ each just to break them down. 50$ just to remove the tires not happening. So in all my lack of wisdom I thought- I'll just cut them almost in half with my sawzaw stoping close to he rim and try to pry them off. I cut one and with the hole big enough to look inside quickly decided they probaly won't pry off like I thought. After searching the forums I picked up that a billed sledg or using a hi-lift jack is a good way to break the bead. I need a hi lift jack so this is a great excuse to use with the wife. With any luck and a bit of suggestive work she will even suggest that I go buy one. Just like she did wig my new 1/2" electric dewalt impact.shhhh!!! Lol
So after (if) I get the bed broken will the lock ring come right off and the tire come off as well. Or will I still half to pry the tire over the edge of the rim. Pretty sure I need to break the seal on both sides of the tire.
So do I have the jist of it, am I missing anything to watch out for, and r there any other time & labor saving tricks. Thanks matt
