- With a few hand tools is it possible to replace a tire on the Double Bead Locked Hutchinson Wheel. There are a few tricks to make this process easy. I have replaced my own tires several times and carry an extra spare tire in my trailer so I do not need to go to a tire shop if wheeling in remote areas. Normally is the 2 halves easy to align and they get together in seconds, not sure why it gave me so much trouble this time.
No preparation was done except for finding the tools necessary. After replacing the tire can a tire shop or Walmart balance the tire. Chain tire shops do not want to balance any deadlocked wheels, but all the local stores do not have a problem with the rims.

The struggle is real. I hate mounting just as much as unmounting.
Okay, I just did a 37 that's been on a rock monster for a few years. Instead of trying to pry it off like I always do, I just went around like you showed. I did have to do 2 laps for the top and 3 for the bottom, but man, it just dropped off! The hardest part was the rubber, and that wasn't hard, lol. One difference was that I didn't have a board so I slid 3 equal length pipe over the 3 large studs. It looked like a round bbq or a 3 legged table or something. Stable and worked! Thanks for this video! I was going to sell mine because I'm getting too old for this, but now I see it can be a piece of cake.
Thanks. I have to do a set. This will make it go so much smoother. Nice to see. You make it look easy
Thanks a lot for your advice ! Had last year the problem that I couldnt get the tire of the beadlock. Your idea with a bucket is epic.
Best wishes from Germany
what's the torque value for these?
Very nice
Thanks, hopefully you did not watch all 27 minutes. I just had people say it is impossible to replace the tires on those rims. and since I needed to do 2 replacements today can I make a video.
@@Per3110 it was way more fun than watching paint dry
@@Per3110 I didn’t see the new seals installed. Where did they go?
I reused the old one. The manual says to replace it if more than 6 months after the original install. I have reused for years.
Beat beadlocks on the market
I agree those rims are very nice, but I wish they had turned the studs the other way facing into the rim. I have a few with messed-up threads and one of the long is bent.
@@Per3110 then the studs would hit the brake calipers
Forgot to add, I remove the long studs and replace them with short studs after the tire is on and before I go out wheeling, that way the rocks don’t get them as easy
just wondering how to do it with a tpms? also wheel balancing?
I do not think TPMS is possible with the Hitchinson Wheels.
After mounting can you take them to a independent tire store and they will balance them for you. The chain will not touch Bead Locks.
You actually attach the sensor to the center of the rubber piece. It will be in your instruction sheet how to do it. The downside is, when aired down a lot and you go over a pointy rock, it can crush the sensor. I usually get one crushed TPMS sensor per season. Balancing is no problem but does take more weights.
