9.
Step on and hold down the Bead Breaker Foot Pedal.
The Blade pushes in, moving the Bead out of the Bead Seat and in towards the Drop Center of the
Tire.
When the Bead breaks, it frequently (but not always) makes an audible popping sound.
10.
If the Blade does not fully move the Bead out of the Bead Seat, adjust the Blade a little bit one way
or the other and then step on and hold down the Bead Breaker Foot Pedal again.
11.
When the Bead is broken, rotate the Tire 180° and break the Bead at that location.
Every Tire is different. With some Tires, the entire Bead on one side could be broken with the first
use of the Bead Breaker Blade. Other Tires could take multiple attempts until the Bead is broken all
of the way around the Tire.
12.
When the Bead is completely broken all the way around on one side of the Tire, move the Tire out,
turn it around, and then break the Bead on the second side of the Tire.
Again, avoid breaking the Bead at the TPMS; you could damage the sensor.
Important
: It may take you two or three times to break the Bead at any one spot. Nevertheless,
keep going until you break the Bead all the way around the Tire and on both sides
of the Tire. Do not proceed to demounting the Tire until the Bead is broken all the
way around and on both sides of the Tire.
