Easy and safe way to break a tire bead (https:\/\/youtu.be\/0uyuZhj3fnw)<\/a><\/noscript><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\nRemoving the Tire<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Once you\u2019ve debeaded the tire, the remaining bit is relatively easy. Here\u2019s where you\u2019ll need two long screwdrivers or, even better, a couple of tire irons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hook one iron under the edge of the tire and push down until that part of the tire pops out. Hook the other tire iron next to the first one and push down to pop out the tire. Remove the first tire iron and hook it next to the second one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Keep going until enough of the tire has popped out that you can pull the rest with your hands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Turn the tire over and remove the other side. You may need the tire irons to pop out the other side, but it should be much easier now. Once the other side has almost fully popped out, hit the tire with a rubber mallet to get it off the rim completely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Inspect the Rim <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Take this opportunity to inspect the rim before putting on a new tire. If it\u2019s dirty, give it a quick clean. If it has rusted, sand them to remove the rust then paint the rim to prevent more rusting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cleaning and polishing the rim ensures the new tire sits tightly against it, and reduces the risk of air leaks in the future. For additional security, you can also apply bead sealer on the rim groove. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mounting the New Tire <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
To make mounting the new tire easier, apply some soapy water on the bead catcher (the groove around the rim) or some other tire-safe lube. This will make it easier for the tire bead to slide into place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the rim on the ground, place the tire over it at an angle. Make sure the tire is properly oriented (check for arrows on tire showing direction of mounting). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Push the tire over the lip of the rim with your hands. It should slide down without an issue. If a part of the tire gets stuck, use the tire irons to push it down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the second bead, push it down using your feet or hands. You can usually get more than half of it over the lip of the rim this way. Force the remaining bit down with the tire irons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Inflating the Tire <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
All that\u2019s left now is inflating the new tire and mounting it back onto the ATV. Put back the valve core and use an air compressor to inflate the tire, making sure not to exceed the maximum recommended pressure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You\u2019ll hear a couple of pops to confirm the two beads have reset. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If the beads don’t reset, it means the gap between the tire and the rim is too big. The tire will not inflate. If that happens, tie a ratchet strap around the circumference of the tire. Tighten the strap a bit then try inflating again. If air is still escaping, tighten the strap a few more clicks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once the tire begins to inflate, wait until it touches the edge of the rim then remove the strap. Finish inflating the tire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mount the wheel back onto your ATV<\/a>. That’s all! Now you should be able to ride your ATV<\/a> again.
