I found this video because my tire went flat yesterday on my JCB. It’s long weekend and I need to fix myself. I was thinking it’s better to break the bead using the backhoe hydraulic leg.. and I think ether is a good plan to blow the beads back in place… but I will explore that more.
Well Timothy, my good friend that has worked construction and farmed all his life, was big on using ether to seat the beads as you suggest. He has big excavators, dozers, big 4 wd J.D. tractors, contracts for road construction and plows snow with his own trucks for the county so at 69 he's no dummy. 10-15 yrs. ago he used starting fluid to seat a tire for his semi. That time he grabbed starting fluid that was sold from John Deere which turns out is more explosive. The tire exploded and he was seriously hurt landing him in the Hospitol by Ambulance for a couple of days. He no longer allows that practice on his farm/business since it almost killed him. I have never seen a tire repair place use ether/starting fluid to set the bead so maybe that isn't such a good idea. But to each their own. Great video.

Good luck. Let me know how it works for you.

Where I worked in high school and college I would repair 8-10 of tractor tires a day. Those and split-rims.
Interestingly enough, I talked to someone Monday who worked on split rims in high school as well. Thanks for watching.
I need that 1/2 dewalt impact wrench
They are nice to have!
