DETAILS:

With the home mechanic and trail rider in mind, the Beadbuster was specifically designed for difficult-to-remove ATV tires, but we soon realized that it worked just as well on just about every kind of tire there is. No adjustment is needed for different tire/wheel sizes.  It is small, portable, and perfect for stashing in your glove box or tool box.  This tool will save time, money, and frustration by quickly and easily changing your own tires whenever, and wherever you want.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

1. A 3/4″ wrench is required to drive the clamp and ram bolts.  Hand wrenches will work, power tools are recommended.  If you use an impact wrench use caution with a 1/2″ impact to not over-torque the bolts.
2. Tire Irons are required to finish the job of removing the tire from the rim.
3. The XB-455 will NOT work on ATV wheels that have a reinforcing ring (aka “rock ring”), such as Kawasaki KFX OEM wheels, and certain aftermarket Baja racing wheels.
4. Certain cast aluminum and alloy passenger vehicle rims and large agricultural rims have a profile that prevents the tool from clamping properly (see illustration).  See the specifications above; if in doubt, measure your rims and compare to the tool’s spec. limits.
5. The BeadBuster 455X series was designed for use on the most common Diameters of ATV/UTV Rims: 9″ and larger. Smaller rims (7″ & 8″) have a different and shallower lip profile. Use on these rims may cause damage to the ram foot as the feet can catch on the bead retainer.
