tyre bead breakers

Hey Sand Man,
Military, use Keep It Simple Stupid reasoning for most things.Yes I agree usually only screwdriver hammer and tyre lever needed but after i spent 3 hours trying to break a bead on a split rim even with jack under tow bar of cruiser I thought must be a easier way. Never had that much difficulty before then found out tire was pumped up on tube for at least 10 years and was welded to rim.

thats right the army will only use tyrepliers
& the nato no for them is 5210/66, 128,8,500
if your in the defence force just order that number

Tire??? Should read "tyre" :-/

G'day John yes driving over it would have been done if it was urgent but was just taking casing off to use as a 2nd back up. I cant spell but can lift heavy objects.

CD.

I've seen det cord used for the problem you had, admittedly it was a tyre off an earth moving scraper, but non the less the end result would have been the same... Jest never know when ya wanna blow sumpin up aye!! Don't leave home without it.

Cheers 2TGs

Phil has a good point there as i have seen use his method in the past with the old hi lift. im not sure i R7R beadbreakers will do the job, but contact Adrian, who can be found at the Terowie road house SA for another point of view.

Gday Ricky,
I've never seen the R&R man demonstrate his beadbreaker on a splittie. You'd be wielding that ring spanner a heap I would expect.
Hope your business is growing well. You should join Exploroz as a corporate member.

Cheers

I have to say this...... "up the old red rooster"

Apologies to All, but Brushmarx will know what I mean if he's ex 21 Const Sqn.

Happy trails, Mike.

"and more peace" (or close to that)
Heh Mike, 8 years there '72 to '79.
Cheers

Well there's a coincidence. I was there from late 72 till 75. Did Licola and Holdsworthy airstrip, in between detatchments to Canberra. Was known as Tex then, chippy with rescources troop

Happy trails, Mike.

Been known as Wombat in Construction troop.
Only Tex I remember was a plantie, but in your time I was in New Guinea, Sydney (foreman Clerk of Works course) and other locations not including Lacola or Holdsworthy much of the time .
Cheers
