DIY Car Tyre Removal

[Mottie]

These are steel wheels for my 1956 Berkeley.

Need to take the 40 year old tyres off (someone wants them for display purposes). I’m then going to strip the paint, treat the rust and repaint the wheels myself.

I already have the new classic tyres (520 x 12 so dinky!) which I bought online from vintage tyres. I’ll find someone to fit at a later date…although the Berkeley folks say fitting isn’t too bad as there’s an inner tube for the tyres.

Various stages to the process (at different time) so I don’t want to be trapesing around various tyre places to see if they might remove tyres for me, where for the sake of £50 I could do it at home at my leisure.

Hence my question to see if these tools work!

In that case, that tool will be perfectly fine for those needs. Wheels for tubed tyres don’t have a lip to 'pop' the tyre over so you should be able to break the bead on those wheels by just treading on them!

@Mottie are you looking to sell any more of your garage equipment. I promised I'm not disabled and I'll get out of my van to help load
