| I had a hell of a time mounting my hammers also,I did like Dirk suggested in another post and used a drop of CA to tack the bead to the wheel and you should be good to go.  |

| It helps if you pull the bead of the tire on the other side out past the wheel bead so it holds the beasd you are working on . I then use a rattle can cap to push the tire and wheel down on (the side you just finished) so I can hold the tire in the final bead.... Did that make any sense what so ever? |

|  Because my patience is next to nill , I pull my beads while sitting on the crapper. Its utterly amazing the concentration and time you take to apply all for rubbers into the beads all while dropping the kids off at the pool. I did my M2 flat irons and M3 hammers all in one shitting. |

| My hammers dropped right into my Eritex beadlocks, but the badlands I have do not like the rc4wd rims I put them on. Maybe some runs are better then others on these tires? |

| Heres a little tip that i use eveytime and iv never had a problem mounting any tires on any beadlocks. Try wraping rubber bands around the tire in a star pattern between each of the screws on the beadlock |
