What this sausage party needs is a big dollop of ketchup! Too bad I didn't make any. :(

I can't think of any combination of horrors as testicle-deadly as split rims and a hi-lift.

Also lol confirmed no air in the test tire via gauge and then removed core and it lifts the van off the ground before the bead breaks.

The section that deflected though looked surprisingly nice under though

If your data limit allows it, you should consider something like Periscope so that you can live stream parts of the trip. Just rant about whatever crosses your mind while you tear down the fury road.

Also, 14-inch body pillows for additional revenue generation.

So you're trying to get the bead over a big ole ridge of rust just inside it. Not entirely unlike the bead retainer 'hump' on a passenger wheel. You've pretty much got to break it all up. I should have mentioned earlier, mixing up some coke (or if you can find a better source of phosphoric acid -that's not going to swell the rubber, no panther piss- use that, cola's just easier to find) and glycol and letting it soak for a bit should help. When you've got force on it with the high lift give the tire some sharp blows all the way around with a sledge or some poo poo. wedge as much metal as you can underneath the lock ring.

Worst case, there's no steel in that tire except the bead bundle so you could presumably gash the tire with a sawzall, get in there and remove the rust in person but that may make getting the rest of the tire off more difficult. You'd have to destroy the flap doing this too and it doesn't look like the new ones came with flaps, so consider this a last resort.


I've played with Samsons before, gently caress their 16.5s forever but their 20s are not bad.

I know hardly anything about tires but I was blown away that it isn't easier to just put new rims on this thing. So to rectify this knowledge gap I googled "split rims" and lo and behold, the top result is this Ford Enthusiast dot com thread from 2003





C'mon guys, we can raise the level of discourse around here. Other car forums sound so much smarter

Tirechat: be goddamned if I know what this tool is called, but it's a pipe with a chisel on one end, and a heavy bar that slides down the pipe from the other end Slide hammer bead breaker. You set the chisel end between the rim and the bead, and then slam the rod down into the pipe until the bead pops free. My brother has one and it works like loving magic. He uses it on circle irrigation system tires, and those fuckers are always rust-filled pieces of poo poo. You might see if a tire shop would let you borrow one for a bit.

Slide hammer bead breaker. Kind of expensive for a single use, it took me 3 years to even convince the tire shop I worked for to get me one.

e: $120. Huh.
The tool I used 98% of the time though was this:
http://www.kentool.com/index.php/products/bead-breakers/t11d-35327-t11e-35329-wood-handled-duck-billed-bead-breaking-wedge-detail

and it's a fuckton more versatile and user friendly.

Man gently caress duckbill hammers. If I ever have to use one of those again I'm going to use it on my skull first, save me some pain.
