What happens here

Insert the powered tire spreader into the gap between the tire bead and the rim. Use a cordless impact driver, such as the Durofix brand, to activate the spreading mechanism. The tool will then push the tire's sidewall outwards, creating an initial opening for internal access. Observe how the bead begins to separate from the rim as the tool expands.

Goal: Create an initial opening in the tire bead.

Tools and materials

  • Cordless Impact Driver Durofix — To power the spreading mechanism of the tire spreader
