    This is a how to for dismounting a tire in your garage with simple hand tools.

    Tools needed:

    + Valve Stem Removal Tool
    + Specialty Tire Removal Saw
    + Hammer
    + Specialty Bead Breaker
    + Rubber Snippers

    1st: use a valve stem removal tool ( not to be confused with bolt cutters) to remove the valve stem

    DSCI1803_5791e60f5b791b5ec8ab53e18a6d72d692e61371.jpg

    2nd: Then grab your tire separation saw (do not confuse with a jig saw), And make a clean insertion along the tire

    3rd: Next cut a small square near the bead

    4th: Grab your special purpose tire hammer and bead breaker (not to be confused with a ball peen hammer and wedge)
    DSCI1811_a30c64def4e132f6cbd61fc20b9b35b3362e6e6a.jpg

    5th: Pound the bead breaker into the rim with excessive force
    DSCI1812_741ae7330759070c3da5966e011bf8d803030aba.jpg

    6th: Once the bead has broken, use the valve stem removal tool to cut the bead on both sides
    DSCI1813_32e6aa2442650c405fba11e90c8d582ee86b12aa.jpg

    7th: Peal the tire off, being careful not to scuff the sidewalls.

    step 8- ruin the tires on there currently
    step 9- scratch the shit out of your rims

    it's worth the 40 bucks to pay a shop to mount AND balance them

    Just put a heavy duty ratchet strap around it and crank it down, measure every 4-5 cranks untill it has compressed an inch.
