|  Beadlock mounting tip
Was putting a couple sets of tires together the other night and thought to share this tip. Many of you may already do something like this, but there may be some new guys to the hobby that haven't thought of it. You can use a cap off a spray can (you probably have a few cans in your garage already with caps like this) as a "pedestal" or "tire changing stand". Just pop the cap off and sit it on your workbench.  With one side of the wheel in the tire, sit it on the cap to keep the tire sidewall elevated off your workbench. This will help to keep the wheel half / tire bead / inner ring in position while you install the other wheel half and get the second tire bead in place. As you install and tighten the screws, the cap allows you to spin the wheel / tire around for the next screw.  Last edited by number9; 12-17-2018 at 07:05 PM. |

The plastic cap would not scratch the wheel where as a socket could.

Good idea I put this thing together to help. All my wheels are Beadlocks now.   It does help when all the screws are on one side.  |
