  • My friend Frank used to be a tire guy, and he told me he could do this by hand.. but still, it was impressive to see him remove and replace a tire in five minutes flat!

      The drop center thing is just an added bonus for anyone who didn't already know, but Frank does have some skills, and 230 pounds, behind that hammer. He makes it look easier than it really is. ...

      It takes time to change a tire because they gotta prep everything they gotta lift the car remove the tire leak the air switch the tire and then they balance the tires and balancing the tires take time depending on the weights they use either hammer type or the sticky type of weights

      If it's steel rims that are clean a set of four can be done on a properly functioning machine well under 10 minutes easily. But the industry trend is lower profile tires that would make it difficult to do on an older standard machine let alone the way it's done in the video. Not to mention that a tire is not designed to be taken off the rim with a direct impact like that. Hitting it like that can easily damage the sidewall and potentially lead to a side-wall blowout.

    • @franknutrock
      @franknutrock 5 лет назад +14

      @@josiahr1375 interesting point re sidewall damage. I never heard that before. Not sure if you are correct but possibly. Maybe on some low pros. In the industry (when you change a tire on the side of the road) one doesn't have the luxury of a tire mount machine close by. If you don't have a mounted replacement in your truck bed your choice is to use a duckbill hammer or slide hammer. Duckbill is lighter, faster, easier. I didn't invent the process but learned from highly trained union pipeline tire masters. And every single one uses a duckbill hammer. Never hurt or in anyway damaged a sidewall that wasn't already destroyed by the idiot driver too slow to pull over or didn't check his/her rigs tires before hitting the road. However I'm talking about industrial and commercial grade tires. Not some pos lo pro

    Hi all,
    Thanks to my friend Jim for posting. It's actually much easier than how I make it look. I haven't done this for a living for @ 12 years. I used to do this day in and day out on typically much larger vehicles. It is really a lot of fun but extremely physical. And FOR SURE, everyone you change a tire for, on the side of the road or at a jobsite, without question, is totally blown away AND stoked. Made my day every day. Thanks Jim for posting the video.

    I used to fix tires (mostly for large trucks and equipment), some car tires... a long, long time ago. Part of what makes this job easy is the tire spoons (pry bars) and hammer/wedge. You can improvise with other tools and it will take a little longer, but the techniques here are the biggies. Nicely done.

    I was blown away by how quick Frank did this, even with everything at hand. He is obviously a strong man to make it look so easy. Frank said, "...everyone you change a tire for, on the side of the road or at a jobsite, without question, is totally blown away AND stoked." Mate, if you did that for me on the side of the road, I too would be so impressed and appreciated; I would actually get your address to send you a present later. Frank, stopping to help others in trouble, rather than driving by, shows you to be a good and decent person. Hope life goes easy for you, best wishes, from someone that was broken down miles from home and being helped by another person that knew what to do; I was very appreciative as my family were on a day out and stranded.

Guy said here, watch this as he went to work on a big ass split rim with a honking big hammer. I noped the fuck out of there before he finished getting the old tire off.

    • @Iceberg86300
      @Iceberg86300 3 года назад +2

      Do shops just not want to deal with it? Or just not many shops that will?
      B/c there's nothing inherently different about working on an American vs German car. Or any car really. Some socialized tools here & there but usually nothing crazy. If you can get it a shop definitely can.
      The big thing nowadays is there scan & programming tools. But again, if can you do it in your driveway a shop shouldn't have any trouble at all.
      Seems like a shop could make a pretty good living working on any car other shops turn away, and all with very little investment. I just can't imagine every shop turning away money like that. If I worked on BMW all day, everyday, I'd certainly charge more for the occasional Chevy to do the same job just b/c of the headache & extra time involved. If you have a steady stream of car X you might be able to get 2 cars in & out in the time it takes for car Y, so it's definitely a business decision. But damn I'd hate turning customers away. Especially on the easier stuff. But we also have supposed specialists here in the US. But some are, and others are just blowing smoke trying to attract customers.
      At any rate, good on you for learning to do the work yourself. It certainly provides some satisfaction not being beholden to a shop for every repair!!

    “Sometimes you’ve got to give it a little love and affection” 🤣🤣🤣!!
    Thank you buddy, from me here in Australia. I’ve been trying to get a rock solid tyre off of a 45 year old Ford. Even resorted to cutting it with an angle grinder Just started a nasty, smoky fire. 🔥 😷.
    I need to get some tools like yours; especially that wonderful hammer/axe thing. Subscribed 👍

    • @Jim1457a
      @Jim1457a  5 лет назад +4

      LOL! I tried cutting the tire off once myself... and it didn't work too good for me either! That hammer is called a "Duck Bill", and Frank makes it look easier than it actually is, but it's an effective tool in the right hands. ...And even those crowbars are made specifically for doing tires... they have a little "nub" on them, to grab the rim... Watch closely on the first 3-4 moves that Frank makes with those crowbars; how he uses one over the other, and then he uses the side of his shin to hold it for the final move... He makes it look so easy, but there's a nuance to it

    I'll say it! DAM THIS GUY IS FREAKIN AWESOME! - Jacksonville Florida, every tire place you go, and I mean EVERY TIRE PLACE, they charge between $270 (40,000 mile tires) and $450-$500 (60,000 to 80,000 mile tire) for 4 brand new tire replacement. It's ridiculous. After 10 years of this crap, I got sick and tired and went to a U-pull-it and bought 2 used tires for $25 each and thanks to this video, I will put them on the front of my car. The back tires have fair tread so I only needed to replace the front 2. I just saved over $200 on replacing my front two tires. About 5 years ago I spent $270 on 2 brand new tires (they are now on the back of my car) and today, thanks to this video, I replaced my front 2 tires for $50 bucks. Got to love it. Eastcoast tire companies continue to RIP people off and this is what you get. I had worn tread on the left side of my tire and when it got a flat they refused to repair the flat saying that I needed to replace the tire. And my wife used fix-a-flat to repair fairly new tire and they said she ruined the tire. 4 tire places would not touch the tire because of fix-a-flat claiming it ruined the tire. I WILL NEVER USE A LOCAL TIRE COMPANY for my vehicle and my wife's vehicle on the Eastcoast ever again! SAVE YOUR MONEY FOLKS, watch this video and start replacing your own tires. IT WILL SAVE YOU $$$ HUNDREDS. *SUBSCRIBED!*

    • @Jim1457a
      @Jim1457a  4 года назад

      haha, right on Mike, I was amazed when I saw how fast Frank removed that replacement tire from the damaged rim.. So I said "wait, we gotta film this!"...
      By the time I got my phone up and recording, Frank was ready to Rock!... He had about 5 or 10 seconds to prepare his spiel at the beginning... it was 100% "off the cuff".
      But Frank used to do this as a profession, so he makes it look much easier than in actually is... There's definitely skill involved... I'm glad to hear it worked for you, more power to ya!

    DUDE! I had to change one of my truck tires today. I was too cheap to pay the local tire place. Your suggestion of using the drop center really came in handy. Not knowing this, I was trying to give it a go from the other side; didn’t happen. I did a mulligan and started over. Within 15 minutes, I had the new tire on! Thank you so much!

      heheheheh, skill makes anything look easy bro, but the knowledge helps too... (the part @ 0:16, about the "drop center") And it helps to weigh in at 240 too ;) I thought I was doing pretty good when I could change a motorcycle tire in under an hour.. But, like I said in the vid, I remember Frank "saying" it was easy, but I never saw it done that fast by hand... I didn't even believe him until I saw him remove the first tire (the one that went on this rim), and It was impressive! That's why I filmed it.

    If you look at the base of older upright ratcheting bumper jacks, you will see that one side has a curved edge and one is straight. That curve is there to use for breaking the bead off of the wheel. By p[lacing it into the bead area and jacking up the weight of the car onto it. There are plenty of beads that will not come loose by simple pounding on them. Then the standard 18 inch lug bar was used to remove the tire from the wheel.
    I had to do this to graduate HS advanced auto shop. Using only the tools provided with the car.

And as soon as I could get the vid working on my phone, Frank just ran with that ball! ...Frank used to be a professional at this, and he always said how "easy" it is to do "a little car tire"... But that was over a few beers, so I figured there might be some exaggerating... But apparently, he wasn't even exaggerating at all ;) ... but, with that said, it's not really as easy as he makes it look... And it does help if you weigh in at 235 too.

      @kzfolnvmwvh 4 года назад

      As I said I was trying to change my tires and I did not have the same skill or luck that you, 1st big difficulty was to undo the seal I tried everything and could not, had to go to a workshop to get the tires off the wheels hahahah (even using lubricants)
      Note: even the machine had difficulty undoing the seal actually the boy had to take off all the way around the tires
      Then I thought the rest is the easiest, put the new tires on the rims, put the lubricant and put the first rim but on the 2nd it was impossible almost died of so much wear I had and without strength, half went relatively easy on both tires but then started the hard part and as hard as I tried I couldn't, I had to go the other day with the tires more or less mounted in the trunk of my other car in the workshop to assemble me the rest (which was the same thing as the machine). butter the bread super easy).
      Note: none of the workshop visits (kwik Fit Leominster UK) was charged to me (I gave some money for the work).
      My advice if you don't have money to trade is to wait until you have money or ask someone who knows how to do it, because it was extremely exhausting and demotivating, I saw several videos here on youtube and it seems easy but believe me it is NOT
