Anyone bought/ made themselves a bead breaker for changing the tyres on their mini themselves. I currently have 12" wheels but may change to 10's in the future so would want one suitable for both.

Ive changed mine by hand a couple of times, im on 12s and find the bead doesnt take much to make it go. Usually a bit of fairy liquid and educate it with a tyre lever and it goes. mine: http://www.turbominis.co.uk/forums/index.php?p=vt&tid=570945 |

I bought one of those machine mart wheel changers, they have a bead breaker, works pretty well for changing most tyres, although I did do one set of tyres ( thanks Gary) that took 3 of us to get them on....

I've got one that I think is designed for tractor tyres. Wouldn't use it on a tyre I wanted to keep... On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

Never thought of making a bead breaker. My pikey ways suggested jacking a car up and dumping it down on the sidewall was suitable enough.

yep, I got a pot of that white tyre paste and its well worth having, its actually like a load of little balls, which go to liquid under pressure.
