swaping tires?
#2
I have a Harbor Freight bead breaker, and it works OK.
Other folks have been able to get the bead broken by setting the tire on the ground and leaning a plank up on the sidewall, then driving over it, or by using a bumper jack or the landing leg of a 5th wheel, and so on.
Most aftermarket tires seem pretty easy to change. Stock dunlops are pretty light and flimsy, and the sidewall tends to sluff in and the tool tends to slip.
The trick seems to be breaking the bead with maybe 6 psi in them.

If you have never changed tires before (atv or auto), take them to a pro that has the right equipment. Trust me...........too many things can go wrong for a beginner. If they will let you watch and explain every step, then maybe you can the next time.
Worst case...... you may die if the tire explodes!
Lets be safe today so we can ride tommorrow.
