Can anyone please tell me who sells R&R Bead Breakers in Brisbane?
Are they really easier to use than Tyre Pliars?

Thanks,

Mal T.

Got mine from ARB in Perth so I would say ARB will have them over there , they are great and easy to work ,if you are running tubeless I would recomend carring a couple of spear tubes as reseating the tyre can be a problem if the bead is loose on the rim easyier to fit a tube if away from a garage air supply .

Peter please check your insurance re putting tubes in tubless tyers. I have heard stories, I cant confirm, that insurance companies didnt pay out due and accident they attributed to the tyers.

I had this dilema about 3 months ago . if you do need a bead braker , then make sure you get the R&R . The tyre pliars are a wast of boot space and money . I actually ended up getting neither , i was told to try my hi lift jack . I tried it and worked well . Have had to use it 8 times so far, it breaks the bead with no effort .

I Just put the hi lift into the tow bar hole , place the tyre under and pump away . after contact its 3 pumps and its off

Thanks Eric. I agree re tyrepliars. SWMBO has a lot of trouble with them while I'm opening the stubbies. I thought the R&R's might make a great birthday present in early July for her.
