Abstract: The present invention is for a bead breaking tool which can be used in combination with various tire stripping stands and benches to break a tire bead before a tire is stripped from its rim. The tool has sidewall engaging legs which depress the sidewall of the tire, opening pockets between the rim and the tire into which rim engaging jaws can be inserted. Providing the pockets reduces the likelihood of damage to the tire or rim during bead breaking. The tool is effective in removing rims which have a safety rib such as is employed for many of the rims which are intended for use with low pressure tires such as the tires for All Terrain Vehicles.

Abstract: This invention relates to a double headed tool which engages the rim of the tire. A first head is contoured to assist in engaging the bead of the tire to promote engaging the tire with the rim. A second head is designed to assist in stripping the tire from the rim. This tool is deigned to be used in combination with a tire changing stand which has a central post.

Abstract: This invention is a tire-changing device which is used for engaging then stripping the tire from rims of wheels. The device is used in combination with a workbench and stores under the bench when not in use. A threaded rod is raised above the bench top when the tire changer is in use. Mobility for the threaded rod is provided by having it slidably engage a sleeve which, in turn, is coupled to the bench. A friction pad is employed which rests on the bench and through which the threaded rod passes. A restraining hub through which the rod passes engages the hub of the wheel. A torque nut holds the hub firmly in place, thereby securing the wheel between the restraining hub and the friction pad. A double headed tool is provided which engages the rim of the tire. A first head is contoured to assist in engaging the bead of the tire to the rim and a second head is for the purpose of stripping the tire from the rim.
