Seths video and resulting comments brought this up (will link here)
In comments to Seth's video shown here and on Facebook of breaking bead on aluminum tire it was mentioned that steel wheels are a total different animal. Someone brought up they used a hydraulic bead breaker and showed pic of it. They said it pulled rim UP instead of pusing tire down (you can't push tire down cause of bead lock ring). Found videos of such animals both manual and hydraulic. they all work the same principle.... Butt.... they do push the tire down to break the bead. Now with bead lock in place maybe instead it pulls rim up??? Not sure how good this is for the beadlock though..... what is your thoughts.
manual version (available on fleabay)
