Some people say that driving over the tyre can work too. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cols110 Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Can highly recommend Tyrepliers, but in saying that I`ve only used em on steel rims, hav`nt tried em yet on alloys, but should`nt be a problem, except for DII alloys which I`ve heards a are real bugger, and Tyrepliers had to make a different adaptor. R&R Beaddreaker also have a great reputation, if not high than Tyrepliers, dunno where you would get em in the UK though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks mate, found out that Tyrepliers are available from BAOB who are taking sets to Billing so will get some their, oh and only use steel rims anyway.

LR90 Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Hmm, I fancy those tyrepliers. Technique I've learnt is to use a lever and sledge hammer to break the bead but its not the most precise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
