Post by: 850 on May 28, 2005, 09:11:47 PM
how do ya'll remove your four wheeler rims from your tires? i have a 450R and they are bead locked. tried taking them to wal mart and they wouldnt do it because of the aluminum rims. im trying to get them powder coated. thanks for the help.

Take em to a real tire shop and they'll probably do it for free.Or you could do it the old fashioned way w/screwdrivers & elbowgrease.

If you want to do it yourself I would suggest a trip to Harbor Freigt in Casselberry. They sell a bead breaking tool with all the prying tire tools needed, for pretty cheap.  I used this tool on my 2 old yamahas and it only took me about 4 hours to do 8 tires.  Or you could just save yourself the frustration and go to a tire shop.
