My first job wrenching in the late 80's was in a truck garage, and we were trying to seat the bead on a truck tire ( 1 piece rim ) and an old timer sprayed inside the tire with starting fluidd, and used the tip of a lit propane to ignite it. The resulting mini explosion expanded, and seated the tire. Probably not O.S.H.A. approved!!

i accidently found it on tv back in the cable tv era 2013ish. i was obsessed with it for a full month. probably watched it daily. one of my favorite movies ever. much better than LOTR in my opinion.

If you don't want to use a bead blaster, ratchet straps around the tire works really well to push the bead out to seat easier.

I saw that 1030p on Temu and it was $340, then I saw the air actuator for $60. So yeah I'm thinking of just buying the actuator and then buying some square tube at metal supermarkets and save $200.

i noticed the hb bead breaker was kinda janky right off, this looks sweet, ill have to save up for it myself. havent really used my setup yet but its coming. everyone doing ok over there?

Nice "Earl Schiebe" paint job on that Lucid weld-it-your self kit. What brand of spray can did you use ?
Also what type of piping & dimensions did you use for the pipe that holds the Corgui duckhead  ? ....Nice job !!! ❤👍

Tire would’ve blown up faster had you taken out valve stem 👍
