I'm assuming you are meaning getting them to stay in place so you can put the beadlocks on, right? A big help is to cut your foams if you haven't already. I usually put a little spit on them to help them stick a little bit, too. |

put the tire on the rim and pull it right past the edge. put the bead lock rim and place and start all the screws just a few threads, pull the bead back up so its between the rim and ring, massaged the tire all the way around to make sure the beads in the groove. use the start pattern to tightin down the screws. do it in 2 or 3 passes so you dont just crank down one screw all the way right away. repeat the same steps for every bead

I have not trimmed the foams. Should i just cut them down a little? I am putting stick weights on the wheels soon so i can trim them.

they are a pain but practice makes perfect there is a thread under the ax10 section in the tips part that helped me out it's the 3rd or 4th thread in the section.once you get it right they'll all be cake.

which ax10 do you have? the kit is the only one you wanna cut foams on (better off to just get decent tires with foams)
