This technique is necessary only on the most stubborn wheels, and sometimes on wide ATV wheels, on the side opposite of the drop center. Break the bead in one spot, extending the Ram ony about 3/4"-1", and then work your way around, every few inches…this will minimize how much you have to stretch the Bead Bundle. Instead, you need to take more frequent, smaller ‘bites’ around the rim.

The reason is because when you start to break the bead on one side of the wheel, it is putting the steel cord (Bead Bundle) in hoop tension, and you are essentially stretching it.įor these cases, even some very stubborn ATV wheels, to prevent bending the ram foot you need to avoid trying to use the full travel of the Ram Foot. The stock XB-455 Ram Foot can withstand a tip load of at least 3,000 lbs, but in some cases these tightly fitting tires can exceed even that. Some wheel types (such as Sprint Cars) have a very tight interference between the Tire and Wheel, and the force required to break the bead is very high. On very old and stubborn tires, you may need to use the tool 3-4 times around the rim. If you cannot break the remainder of the tire bead loose by hand, move the BeadBuster to another location on the rim, adjacent to where the bead is broken. Observe when the Ram Bolt has bottomed out on the top of the tool body, and make sure not to tighten beyond that point, or you can strip the threads with a powerful wrench.Ĩ. There is a tendency to want eagerly to push the bead down all the way in one spot, however the BeadBuster only has 1.438" of travel. It is recommended to visually inspect the gap during operation to ensure the Ram Foot does not catch on it.
These molds can be used up to 450F, and each clay type has different. The bead retainer on the rim will be visible after pushing the tire bead past it. select a button, bead, key or whatever you want to mold.
If this happens, insert a small block of wood or plastic between the tire and rim to prevent it from re-seating.ĭo not allow fingers or body parts to get pinched between the bead and rim!ħ. Again, an impact wrench can be used, but be cautious with a 1/2" impact so that you don’t over-torque the bolt, which could strip the threads.ĭepending on the age of the tire and condition of the rim, the bead may partially return to the seated position when the Ram Foot is retracted. Use a 3/4" socket or wrench to run down the Ram Bolt until the tire bead has been pushed past the bead retainer on the rim.
