All good suggestions. Like that yellow claw doodad. Was looking at a Motion Pro tool that is a combo spoons/levers and bead breaker. Looks like it works well, on YouTube anyway. Can you break a bead with a couple of big C-clamps in a pinch? Never seen those beads before. Does this work better than balancing with weights? What's "the art of the drop center"?
they are called Dyna Beads and work very well. C-clamps could work but they will have to be big. Breaking the bead without the proper tool is a difficult task.
"Drop Center" is referred to as the center part of the wheel which has a smaller circumference than the outter ridge where the bead seals. While spooning over the final segment of the tire, positioning the opposite end the tire as close to the drop center of the wheel will allow tire to slip over the wheel with the minimal amount of stress. Also, at this point is where the lube paste does it magic.
I also use the lube paste on the wheel during the final slide of removing the tire.
FYI....take the brake rotor off the wheel, it can be done with them on, but just one mishap and you will be buying new ones.
also if possible, i will lay the new tire in the sun to warm up the tire to make it alittle more pliable.
