How to Mount and Dismount a Truck Tire With Pry Bars in 10 Minutes

In this video I'll show you how to mount and dismount a truck tire by hand in 10 minutes.

First things first, be very careful when you inflate a tire truck. There is a serious possibility that the tire might explode so use as many safety measures as possible. In this video the tire is deflated before dismounting and after mounting I'll inflate it just a bit for the purpose of the video.

Step 1:
Remove the valve core. After the tire is flat I put it laying down.

Step 2: Bead Breaking (separating tire from rim)

Position the rim with valve stem on top. Take one pry bar for leverage and drive the second one between bead and lip of rim. This will loosen the bead from the rim. Flip the tire and repeat the procedure on the other side.

Step 3:
After both beads are removed from bead seat area, lubricate tire bead and bead seat area with a suitable lubricant.

Step 4:
Removing Tire from Rim

Insert pry bar under the bead at the top of the rim and pry bead over lip of rim. Keep pry bars close together. This is done to make prying easier and help prevent bead damage.

After part of bead is over rim flange, hold pry bar in place and remove the other bar to pry next portion of bead over rim. Do not pry too large a portion at once, it will be hard to pry and may tear the bead. Work your way around the rim until the outside bead of the tire is completely over the rim.

Step 5
Once the tire is removed from the rim, clean rim thoroughly

Next take the new tire lubricate it and prepare for mounting..

Step 6: Put the tire on the rim using your body weight

Step 7: Mount tire using a similar technique as shown in Step 4

Step 8: install valve core
