Does not require mounting, works on all sizes. Easy to use with simple hand tools, 1 person operation. 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. For 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 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. The stock Ram Foot can withstand a tip load of at least 2,000 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 XB-451 to another location on the rim, adjacent to where the bead is broken. As with any tool, use care while operating the BeadBuster.Ĩ. After you get the feet fully inserted, back off of the clamp bolt until the BeadBuster XB-451 is realigned perpendicular to the rim, but still fully inserted. Often, in order to get the feet fully inserted, you have to 1st clamp so much that the tool does lean into the rim, which is OK. If Under-Clamped and leaned away from the rim, the Ram Foot could slide down the sidewall and possibly damage the tire.This is the most common problem users have with using the BeadBuster. If Over-Clamped and the tool is leaned in toward the rim, the Ram Foot could gouge the bead retainer causing damage to both the tool and rim.> IMPORTANT NOTE << If the bead breaker is not properly clamped, and not correctly aligned with the rim, the Ram Foot may be bent or damaged while breaking the bead! Make sure the BeadBuster feet are fully inserted, on some wheels when fully inserted, there may still be a small gap between the tool body and rim. Tighten the Clamp Bolt until the BeadBuster XB-451 is perpendicular to the face of the rim, and the tool body is touching the rim.
