Created this video on how I setup my bead-locks myself. From start to finish.


If you have any questions about the procedure don’t hesitate to ask.

The latest thing is some type of bladder inside the slick.

I made tools to hold the tire down. L’s with a hole. You screw 1 bolt in, work around the tire and the tongue in the L holds the tire. Made like 6 of them out of aluminum. Some wheels (welds) are easier than others

Yea, those have been used in Blown alcohol and Pro Mod for a while, aka liner tires if that's what you're referring to - they can be a real mutha to install, and have to cut the the outer tire off to de-install...

Can’t with the small lip on the F14 headlocks, tire slips right off when you get to the last several inches to stretch the tire. It’s a poor design. This is with the 315/17’s. The little tabs make life so much easier. Do 1 wheel in 5 mins with them

I wouldn’t trust anyone who enjoys putting tires on beadlocks lol. But lucky you, no one will touch me by me

You didn’t do it all the way I’m not convinced lol. Also I didn’t have anything to rest other side of wheel on I did it on the floor. It was free aluminum I had laying around. Telling ya the 17’s are crap to do

The 315/50r17s are stupid stiff, and have a lot of extra material.on the inner bead section

I’m fairly strong, it’s that not easy with 315/50r17s. Show me a video of someone doing it by hand on them without locking them into a tire machine or something to hold the wheel or not using tire irons

If I cut some of the material off the tire it probably would have been a bit easier
