  1. What is a Tyre Bead Breaker? How to Use It A tire bead breaker is a mechanical device designed to break the bond between the tire's bead and the wheel rim. The tire bead is a thick and rigid part of the tire, and it needs to be separated from the rim before the tire can be taken off or installed. A bead breaker works by applying force to push the tire's bead away from the rim, allowing for easy removal or replacement of the tire. Types of Tire Bead Breakers Manual Bead Breaker: This type of bead breaker is typically used for light-duty applications and is operated by hand. It consists of a handle, a pivot point, and a foot or blade that pushes against the tire's bead. By applying downward force on the handle, the bead is broken away from the rim. Hydraulic Bead Breaker: Hydraulic bead breakers are more powerful and suitable for heavy-duty applications, such as in commercial garages or industrial settings. They use hydraulic pressure to exert force on the tire's bead, making it easier to break the bead loose. Pneumatic Bead Breaker: Pneumatic bead breakers work similarly to hydraulic ones, but they utilize compressed air to generate the force required to separate the bead from the rim. These are commonly found in automotive repair shops.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to use a manual tire bead breaker: •Position the Tire: Place the tire and wheel assembly on a stable surface, ensuring it is secure and won't roll away during the process. •Locate the Bead Breaker Blade: On the manual bead breaker, locate the blade or foot that will come in contact with the tire's bead. •Position the Bead Breaker: Position the blade of the bead breaker against the sidewall of the tire, just next to the rim. Make sure the bead breaker is centred and aligned properly. •Apply Pressure: Firmly push down on the handle of the bead breaker, applying pressure to break the tire's bead away from the rim. Be cautious not to use excessive force, as it may damage the tire or rim. •Rotate and Repeat: Once you've broken one section of the bead, rotate the tire and repeat the process until the entire bead is loose from the rim. •Remove the Tire: With the bead broken, you can now easily remove the tire from the wheel.
