Stack a couple of 2x4's on the tire, and drive your truck onto the boards..
POP! Done.....

I've tried that. With a 3/4 ton chevy. still not popping. i've tried the jack under the bumper method also. the beads aren't budging one bit.

Go to walmart pay 10 bucks for them to break beads i fought with mine for like 3 hrs before i said **** it

Deflate the tires all the way, and go make a sharp turn in the yard. Will pop both beads. That's how I got mine!

 

[dirtstalker]

yeah, i'm about to take em to tire shop and let em take em off and mount the new ones.tired of cussing the sumbitches

 

[alex456123]

Try my way! It's fun and dangerous!

I'm lucky I have access to a full automotive shop on post so I just took them there to break the bead. Firestone seated the beads on the new tires for me for free. I brought the wheels there with the tires already on.

I'm definetly gonna build or buy a bead breaker in the future. Usually driving on em with the chevy works fine. but these are stubborn as hell

Seating beads is the easy part.
