Various troubles happen on the road, and a flat tire is one of them. But this situation can be complicated by a spare tire that has not been repaired in time. In this case, there is a desire to do the tire fitting yourself. Of course, this requires tools and certain skills. A jack and a tow rope can help here.

How to repair a wheel on the road

First you need to remove the wheel and clean it of dirt.
Bleed the air from the wheel and place it with the nipple up.
Thread the tow rope through the hole on the disc.
Place the jack on the side of the tire, close to the rim. If there is a chamber in the rubber, then you need to be more careful with the fitting.
After this, throw the cable over the bracket and fix its ends to each other.
The jack handle must be rotated so that the cable rises up, and the base resting on the tire moves the seat ring down.
Once the tire is separated from the rim, you can perform the following operation.

Homemade wheel beading machine

At first glance, the procedure for changing tires seems quite simple. To replace, you just need to remove the old tire from the rim and then install a new one. However, there is a small problem: dismantling will require a lot of effort. Of course, with the help of special tools provided in the travel kit, the procedure can be easier.

This set includes mounts various shapes, as well as several special wedges. These tools make the process of beading the wheels easier, but it will still not be easy to do, especially if the tires have been in use for a long time. A tire changing machine will help solve this problem. In the photo above you can see what a drawing of a homemade tire changing machine looks like.

Components of a tire changing machine

Do-it-yourself manual tire changing machine is carried out using the following parts:

Frame. As a rule, these are two rectangular profile pipes, located in parallel. Such elements are connected with a steel angle.
Vertical riser. It is attached to the frame. This riser performs several functions. In the first case, this is a lever mount intended for removing the tire, and in the second, it is a platform on which the disc is installed.
Pipe. A handle is welded to it. The pipe acts as a lever when removing tires.

To manufacture such equipment yourself, it is better to stock up on high-quality rolled metal in advance, since this tool used under huge loads. It is also important that you can quite easily make a homemade tire changing machine with your own hands. The drawings used for this are simple, and there are many benefits from such equipment.

Making a tire changing machine

This section of the article describes in detail how to make a tire changing machine with your own hands, or rather, a whole set.

It includes two devices - the tire changing machine itself and the bead beating device, which are combined into one. Bottom part The frame of the machine is H-shaped, dimensions - 90 x 60 cm. To manufacture it, you will need a steel pipe with a rectangular cross-section. A two-inch pipe with a round cross-section is welded onto the jumper 30 cm from the edge. The angle must be right. The height of the welded pipe is approximately 1.5 meters. The welding site is reinforced with gussets (right triangles 5 mm thick).

To secure the wheel, you need to put the old hub on the pipe and weld it. The hub is installed at a certain height, which is selected according to the person’s height. The wheel lying on it should be approximately waist-high. The pipe itself should be approximately 30 cm higher than the cylinder. A bracket needs to be welded a little lower than the hub to mount the bead breaker device. It can be made from a piece of steel sheet 4-5 mm thick. A hole is drilled in it for the bolt.

The lever used to remove and install tires is made of steel pipe. Its length is approximately 1.5 meters. To make tips for the lever you will need a steel rod with a diameter of 20 mm. Tips are made on lathe or cut out with a grinder. This is how you make a homemade tire changing machine with your own hands.

How to remove tires using a tire changing machine

The wheel must be cleaned of dirt and the nipple removed.
To avoid scratching the disc, you can put a rubber mat under the wheel, under which you should slide the base of the bump stop.
The bump stop tab is then lifted and placed on the side of the tire.
A soap solution is used to lubricate the tire seat ring.
The lever is inserted into the bump stop tube.
By pressing the lever, the tire bead is knocked off first on one side, then on the other.
The wheel is put on the pipe and connected with bolts to the bolt hub.

Using a mounting tool, you need to lift the tire bead and insert the straight end of the lever under it.
A soap solution is also used to lubricate the tip, bead and rim edge.
You need to rest the lever on the pipe above the wheel and pull the lever towards you, thus removing the tire bead from the rim.
The camera is removed from the tire.
The tire is removed from the disk.

Tire mounting

A do-it-yourself tire changing machine can be made quite quickly. Tires are installed using it as follows:

Use a soapy solution to lubricate the tire bead, rim and arm mounting end.
The landing flange should be partially pushed onto the disk.
The tip of the lever is inserted between the disk and the landing board, and the ball of the tip should rest against the disk, and the section of the landing board should be located approximately in the middle of the tip.
Having placed the lever in the pipe above the wheel, you need to pull it towards you, the mounting tip will put the tire bead on the disk.
After this, put on the lower landing board in the same way and inflate the wheel.

Thus, a do-it-yourself tire changing machine is created without any special financial costs and allows you to easily change the tires on your car yourself.

The welding angle of the tip for beading to the lever needs to be made smaller - this makes it easier to put the rubber on the disc. The main thing here is not to overdo it.
A do-it-yourself tire changing machine can be created quickly and is quite light, so for greater convenience it needs to be attached to the floor.
To make work easier and not spoil the wheels and tires, you need to lubricate all parts soap solution.

Finding a tire repair shop is not a big problem, especially in cities. But sometimes there is a need for urgent wheel repair directly at the site of a puncture or tire rupture. On the road, for example. On some business trip or travel. Far from any civilization, where there is simply nowhere to look for help. How This do?

In the old days, drivers caught by surprise used tried-and-true remedies. They were as follows:

The big disadvantages of the method were its labor intensity and the almost inevitable cases of the disk being crushed at the edges.

For tubeless tires such defects are fatal. It will definitely lose its tightness and will not hold air. To prevent this from happening, the damaged disc will have to be straightened or thrown away. In such a situation, the cash costs for a new disk are inevitable.

In a standard tire service, virtually the same operations are performed. The only difference is that there they are more thought out, mechanized, and more careful in relation to the disk. As a result, after repair it exactly retains its previous geometry. But How achieve this himself?

What modern craftsmen offer

If you look on the Internet, you can see many options. homemade mechanized devices for wheel beading. The overwhelming majority of them are fundamentally focused on professional equipment in terms of capabilities. The features relate mainly only to some design solutions.

Homemade machines perform the same functions as standard mechanisms in tire shops. At the same time they:

simpler in design;
have manual drive for dismantling;
reliable in operation;
small-sized;
easy to disassemble and convenient to store (some models can fit in the trunk of a car);
allow for prompt repairs outside a tire shop, directly at the accident site;
the vast majority of all handicraft devices are designed for wheels passenger cars.

It goes without saying that wheel removal for owners of such machines is incomparably more economical than a similar service in a car service center.

A few illustrative examples

Vertical console with bracket on the table.

Device:

an improvised table with a vertical stand (on top there is a threaded thread);
locking washer for fixing the disc with internal thread and bushing-axle;
movable console with bracket;
a metal rod with blades that bend the tire bead away from the disc;
rod fixing bolt.

Design models:

Non-adjustable paddle

Handicraft design (the main drawback is the lack of a system for pressing the rod; the blade has to be constantly hammered with a sledgehammer).

Vertical console with bracket

Adjustable paddle

Modern design. The console and bracket with spatula were purchased at an auto parts store. The disadvantages include the short handle, which does not provide effective pressure on the tire.

Vertical console with bracket without table

The auxiliary tool, console and bracket are presented here in a factory-made version. Any plane can be used as a table. The disadvantage is that the dismantling process is cumbersome, requiring the use of many tools at once. In addition, there is no table here - all operations have to be performed, figuratively speaking, “on the knee”.

There are many other options. There is no point in considering all inventions: they are designed approximately the same.

Let's look at one model. It eliminates as much as possible all the above-mentioned shortcomings. It is quite simple to manufacture the entire machine yourself, without resorting to the cost of purchased spare parts.

DIY tire changing machine

Drawings with dimensions- the first thing where any practical activity begins. In this case, we will consider a very convenient version of the machine, which combines the entire range of tire fitting tasks.

This circuit diagram device and functioning of the beading mechanism:

In its natural form (after fairly simple assembly) the machine will look like this:

How to assemble this machine and from what?

Design elements:

Frame

It is made from rectangular steel profile size 50x25 mm. It needs to be cut into five pieces and welded into one stable base. The length of the run-up of the parallel stops and the profile pipe connecting them can be adjusted to the dimensions of the trunk of the car.

Vertical stand

Executed from metal pipe with a diameter of no more than 50 mm (according to the width of the frame components). Attaching to the base can be done using two methods:

Welding into one inseparable whole (non-separable version).

Fixed with a bolt. In this case, a sleeve corresponding to the internal diameter of the pipe must be welded to the frame, and a hole must be drilled in the pipe itself and threaded for the bolt. This option makes the structure collapsible, smaller in size and mobile (suitable for use on the road).

Vertical stand attachments

Washer-platform (flange) with holes for mounting the disk. It is intended for installation, external inspection of the damaged wheel and its final dismantling after dismantling.

Steel corner

With ribs 40-50 mm for attaching a loop under the lever. It is tightly welded to the rack; the loop itself can be fastened with screws through drilled holes with thread (as in the diagram above). But the welding method of connecting parts is more reliable and simpler.

Lever arm

Designed for removing a tire rim from a disk.

The diagram shows the loop principle of connecting the lever to the riser . He gives the ability to apply effective pressure on the tire and tear its edge off the rim.

The dimensions shown in the drawing are indicative only. The main thing is that the general proportion is maintained.

Element A

Short tubular bracket with hole for extension pipe. The extension cord is removable. It is inserted into the device before starting work and provides greater pressing power.

Element B

Tire rim support (foot). It is made from the same rectangular profile 50x25 mm as the frame. One end of the stop is attached to the bracket through a loop, the second is flattened and sanded to a rounded shape. This avoids damage to the rubber when pressing with your paw.

Note

When choosing a material for a machine, one should take into account the large loads on all structural elements. Soft steel grades (such as St. 45) are unsuitable here.

To avoid metal corrosion, all machine components must be painted with a persistent oil emulsion.

How to remove a wheel

Manual the machine works as follows. Sequence of operations:

Visual inspection. The wheel is installed on the washer pad and checked for surface damage to the tire and rim.

Beading:

- the wheel is placed on support frame under the lever;

— an extension cord is inserted into the lever;

— the paw is directed to the joint of the tire with the disk;

- the lever is pressed.

The operation is carried out sequentially along the entire diameter of the rim. As a result, the entire outer part of the tire is separated from the rim.

Then the same steps are repeated for back side wheels.

Complete dismantling is carried out already on the flange of the vertical stand using a simple mount. It is better if it is long enough to easily remove the tire from the rim.

Wheel mounting

What is important to consider at this stage:

Disk integrity

The geometry of the rim should not be violated in any place. Especially great importance this has for a tubeless tire. Small dents on stamped discs can be straightened with a hammer. At major defects The disk needs to be replaced. Damaged alloy wheels Due to the fragility of the metal, they are not straightened and are always changed.

Tire lubrication

It reduces friction between rubber and metal during installation. A thin layer of lithol or soap solution is applied to the inner edge of the tire. This does not in any way affect the tightness and quality of the wheel.

No gaps between the disk and tire

Any gap can cause air leakage, especially from tubeless rubber. This installation defect can be easily eliminated by tapping the tire rib with a heavy hammer when inflating the wheel on a machine. As a last resort, you can use special sealing bands and gels (they are sold in all automotive stores).

Conclusion

From all of the above, a simple conclusion suggests itself: a tire changing machine is easy to make yourself. Moreover, in any version: both stationary and mobile. One day off - no more, will be needed to purchase materials and manufacture equipment. This requires only skillful hands and desire.

The reward for your hard work will be time and money. This way you will definitely save them!

A tire changing machine is the main equipment for servicing vehicles, including trucks. Usually it is installed only in specialized workshops, where it is used under the strict guidance of staff. Its most common models are Trommelberg 1850, Trommelberg 1860 + third hand, as well as others.

But it often happens that car wheels need to be replaced, but there is no opportunity to go to a service center and spend your time there to get the required service. There is a way out of the situation. This is a homemade tire changing machine that you can assemble and install in your garage yourself. Of course, it will be inferior to Trommelberg models and is unlikely to allow you to balance the anchors, but its functionality will please you. Let's take a step-by-step look at how you can make such a tool for car maintenance.

1 What do you need to assemble a tire changing machine at home?

A homemade manual tire changing machine no worse than the 1850 model, which can also include a third hand, is not so difficult to assemble at home in practice. To create high-quality equipment you You will need the following types of devices:

Frame. Usually it is made from standard profiles. Please note that you need to select parts for it based on the type of cars that you are going to repair, because for passenger and cargo versions it will vary in resistance to loads.
The third “hand” or lever. This third part will be used directly to remove the tire.
A vertical riser on which, in particular, the third arm will be attached. Can be made in the form of a welded flange.

Tire changer diagram

To create all these parts, it is necessary to initially purchase very high-quality rolled products that will withstand heavy loads, in particular, the weight of truck parts. In order for your work in this direction to proceed as quickly and successfully as possible, it is recommended to prepare a drawing for this design in advance and order rentals based on them.

1.1 We create equipment with our own hands

So, we already have everything to make a machine for servicing the wheels of cars, including trucks, we just need to assemble it correctly. You need to do this as follows:

We make the base of our machine from profile pipes. The distance between them must be at least 70 cm, otherwise the sample will be unstable and it will be impossible to service not only trucks, but even cars;
Next, we attach the flange vertically to the crossbar. We must weld this element, otherwise it simply will not stick to us. Next, we install a clamp on it, to which the “hand” will be attached;
we mount the arm itself. It must be installed on metal element, otherwise it simply won’t hold on.

Assembling a tire changing machine at home

Calibration of a homemade balancing machine is carried out using the wheel you have, even if it is from trucks. It usually only takes a few minutes. Immediately after completing such work, you can begin to operate the equipment you made yourself.

1.2 Design advantages

A do-it-yourself loom for servicing car wheels, just like a homemade loom, has a lot of advantages.

low cost of production of the structure. Spare parts for tire changing machines are usually inexpensive, and in some situations they can even be made from recycled materials;
the ability to carry out work as soon as necessary at home;
versatility - if desired, it can be adapted to any type of wheels, including elements of trucks. It is very important to note that the correct use of such a sample prevents damage to the wheels;
compactness – this equipment for car maintenance, you can store it in any place convenient for you;
ease of assembly - a few simple parts and clearly followed instructions will help you create this technical miracle in just a few hours;
significant savings in vehicle maintenance. After all, even for cargo models it is extremely rarely necessary complex repairs wheels It is enough to use such a technique, and no problems will arise with them.

Tire changing machine assembled with wheel

If we talk about the disadvantages of this design, then they include the impossibility of balancing wheels, as well as processing elements of trucks, as in the 1850 model. Repair of driveshafts and balancing of anchors are also not available here. For this procedure, you really need to contact specialized workshops where more complex equipment is installed, for example, Trommelberg models.

2 An alternative to a machine created independently

If you can’t make a wheel maintenance machine with your own hands, you can pay attention to the most affordable models of such equipment on sale. They allow you to perform balancing of anchors and other manipulations. Among them:

Trommelberg 1850 is one of the best versions of machines that allow you to remove problems with cardan shafts, as well as work with passenger car wheels. Semi-automatic Does not require extensive operator experience in working with such equipment. Extremely easy to set up and further use trommelberg 1850 can be installed both in workshops that service driveshafts, balance anchors and other car parts, and at home. Little is used for balancing anchors.
Trommelberg 1860, which comes with a third hand. The most functional type of equipment, addressed primarily to professional workshops that repair cardan shafts, where the third hand is important element. Can also be used in living conditions, if you have to regularly service your wheels. In other cases, the trommelberg plus a third hand pattern may be too difficult for you. Can be used not only for cars, but also for trucks. It can also be used for balancing anchors, but is rarely used for such purposes.
Protektor U-201 is an example of high-tech equipment for wheel maintenance. Designed specifically for workshops that carry out repairs of cardan elements, balancing of anchors, as well as other manipulations. Works with a wide range of wheels. Their diameter can be 12-24″. Thanks to its lighter design than the 12-24″ model, 1850 can be used for small workshops, as well as for home use. The instructions will help you understand this high-tech option.

Of course, in many cases, professional machines, the same equipment trommelberg 1850, model 1860 plus a third hand, are much more precise in their work and, to be honest, more functional due to the assembly, because they will even make it possible to balance anchors. However, they are often too expensive for the consumer. That is why, before purchasing them, it is worth considering the possibility of assembling the equipment yourself, especially since it is not so complicated.

2.1 Creating a tire changing machine with your own hands (video)

DIY tire changing machine

A broken wheel with a spare tire that has not been repaired in time contributes to the desire to do the tire fitting yourself. But in order for this to be possible, it is necessary to have the appropriate tools, and most importantly, skills. To do your own tire mounting on the road, you need to have 2 mounting blades, as well as a device for tearing off a stuck tire from a rim (many people use a small piece of angle steel with a sledgehammer for this). But this can be done much more conveniently with the help of a jack and a tow rope.

Wheel repair on the road

The method of repair on the road described above is only suitable for extreme cases. For example, if there is no tire repair shop nearby. However, if you decide to always do the tire fitting yourself, then it is better for you to have a full-fledged tire fitting kit in the garage, which you can do yourself if you wish. Not only will it help you avoid queues at the tire shop in the spring and autumn, but it will also save you money.

Making a tire kit

In our case, the kit consists of two devices: the tire changing machine itself and the bead beating device, combined into one. The bottom of the machine frame, H-shaped, 90×60 cm, is made of steel pipe rectangular section. A two-inch pipe is welded to the jumper 30 cm from the edge at a right angle round section about one and a half meters high, the welding site is reinforced with gussets in the shape of right triangles 5 mm thick. The old hub is put on the pipe for attaching the wheel and welded to it. The installation height of the hub is adjusted to the height of the person so that the wheel lying on it is approximately waist-high. The pipe should rise above the cylinder by at least 30 cm and not interfere with work. Somewhat below the hub, weld a bracket for attaching the bead breaker device, which can be made from a fragment of a steel sheet 4–5 mm thick by drilling a hole in it for a bolt.

The device for beating is clearly visible in the photo. The pipe for making this assembly should be taken wider so that a long lever can be inserted into it.

The lever for removing and installing tires is made of a steel pipe about one and a half meters long, and the tips for it are made of steel rod with a diameter of 20 mm. The length of the lever may be different, it all depends on the strength of your hands and the amount of free space in the garage. It is better to make the lever tips on a lathe, but you can also cut them with a grinder with a grinding wheel, and then sand them with a flap wheel. See photo for tip sizes.

Tire removal

Tire installation

Lubricate the tire bead, rim lip and arm mounting end with soapy water.
Place the bead piece onto the disc.
Insert the mounting end of the lever between the mounted bead section and the disc. It is necessary that the ball of the tip rests against the disk, and the landing flange is approximately in the middle of the tip.
Resting the lever against the pipe above the wheel, pull it towards you. In this case, the tire bead will be put on the disk in the middle of the mounting tip.
After the first bead of the tire is put on the disk, lubricate the upper bead with soapy water and do the same with it as with the lower one.
When the top bead of the tire fits onto the rim, you can inflate the wheel.

The smaller the angle at which the bead tip is welded to the lever, the easier it is to put the rubber on the disc. But don't overdo it.

If this angle is too small, the lever will touch the disc and scratch it during beading, so look for the optimum.

The machine turned out to be very light, so for comfortable work it must be attached to the floor. If your garage floor is wooden, then attach the base to it with self-tapping screws. If the floor is concrete, then make several holes in it and install anchor bolts by 8, and fill them with cement mortar.

To make work easier, and to avoid harm to the wheels and tires, be sure to lubricate the lever tips, wheel rim, and tire bead with a thick soap solution. To do this, do not work with a dirty wheel; always start by cleaning it.

To repair wheels that differ from yours in the number of mounting holes and the distance between them, make adapters with studs. They should be made of metal about a centimeter thick.

Homemade tire machine for beading wheels

Many motorists have thought about how they can save time and money on tire fitting by doing it themselves. Plus, as we know, not every tire shop can offer quality services. So sometimes after changing tires, we can find bent wheels, and sometimes even the car body itself.

There is always a long line at the tire shop, and therefore, to change tires, sometimes you have to stand in a long line. And, of course, the price for such services is not small, and if you take into account the fact that you need to change your car’s shoes at least twice a year, the amount turns out to be good. Therefore, many motorists are thinking about replacing tires themselves.

For this action, we will need a homemade manual tire changing machine. The design of such machines is simple and drawings are not needed for their manufacture. Below we will present you all necessary information, as well as a training video that will demonstrate the device and features of building a machine with your own hands and its operation.

Description of design

Homemade wheel beading machine

If you consider the procedure for changing tires itself, then at first glance it will seem very simple. In order to make a replacement, you should simply dismantle old tire from the disk, and then install a new one. At the same time, when fitting tires, we are faced with a small problem.

Dismantling requires enormous effort. Of course, we can use special tools presented in the form of a “travel kit”. In this set we will find several mounts that have different shapes, as well as special wedges. Such tools can make wheel trim a little easier. At the same time, if you have been using the tire for quite a long period, then separating it from the wheel will be very difficult. That's why the best way out the situation will be made into a tire changing machine. This tool will help you in solving such problem.

The design of such a do-it-yourself machine should be presented in the form of such components as:

frame. It is often presented in the form of two rectangular profile pipes, which are located parallel to one another. These pipes are connected by means of a steel angle;
vertical riser, attached to the frame. This device is designed to perform several functions. It is presented in the form of a lever attachment, which is intended for carrying out work on tire dismantling, and also plays the role of a platform on which the disc is installed;
the pipe to which we weld the handle. This pipe acts as a lever when removing tires.

To make such equipment with your own hands, we recommend purchasing high-quality rolled metal. This is due to the fact that during use such a tool will take on a huge load.

Manufacturing of a wheel beading machine

The first stage of removing the tire from the rim

To produce a frame that will act as a base, we recommend using profile pipes. There must be a distance of at least 70 centimeters between these pipes. We will need this distance so that the equipment has high level sustainability.

We connect two pipes that are parallel to each other using a steel angle. A profile design of a smaller cross-section can also go here. As an additional component, we can make adjustable legs.

After we have made the frame, we should do the following:

weld the pipe to the frame. The diameter of such a pipe can vary from twenty to thirty millimeters. Before welding the pipe, we first weld the flange to a height of 40-60 centimeters;
on the vertical area we make a fastening element, which is made in the form of a steel plate. We will need this plate in order to install a tool such as a lever.

The main purpose of the lever is to remove tires from wheels. The lever is presented in the form of two main parts. Here we see the lever arm and the paw with which we will act on the tire itself.

Preparing to start installing the tire

After you have separated the tire from the wheel, you should complete dismantling. For such a task, it is best to use a pry bar as the main tool. This mount should be quite long, with a handle welded to it. After you have installed the disk on the flange using a clamp, we fix it.

After this, using the narrow end of the pry bar, we move the edge of the tire beyond the outer part of the disk. After we have turned the disk over, we can remove the tire from the wheel.

At this stage of work, it is important to consider the following factors:

The edge of the rim should not be subject to deformation. This moment can make it very difficult to mount the tire on the wheel, especially if you use a tubeless tire.
In order to maintain the integrity of the tire being dismantled, we need to lubricate the narrow edge with ordinary grease. This action can reduce the likelihood of rubber breakthrough.
At the time of installation work When installing a new tire on a wheel, we also recommend using a soap solution.

Homemade lever for beading wheels

It is also important to note that when installing the tire on the wheel, great care should be taken to ensure that there are no gaps between the tire and the rim. As an addition to a homemade tire changing machine, we recommend purchasing a specialized set of tools in which you can find sealing harnesses, as well as pry bars of different sizes.

As you can see, the design of such a wheel beading machine is quite simple and does not require any drawing. Making it yourself is very simple. This way you can save a lot of your time and also save money.

Homemade tire changing machine with your own hands

How much trouble the operation of dismantling and installing tires on passenger car wheels causes for beginners (and not only) car enthusiasts! Bent rims, torn tire beads, tubes bitten by a mount, and even wounded fingers are frequent accompaniments of this work. Therefore, many car owners prefer to go to a car service center and entrust it to specialists, which has its own well-known negative sides.

In addition, as someone subtly noted: tire punctures happen more often the further you are from a car service center. Taking into account all of the above, I set myself the task: to develop a simple and small-sized device that works in conjunction with a jack (available with any car) and facilitates the beading and beading of tires. According to reviews from fellow car enthusiasts who had the chance to use this manufactured device, and based on personal experience I can say that the problem was solved quite successfully.

The device consists of three parts (assembly units) that have very simple design. They can be made by a DIY car enthusiast with basic metalworking skills. The design and operating principle of the device are clear from photographs and drawings. The plank is a steel plate with dimensions of 140x36x4 mm. Three threaded (M8) pins are welded to it, perpendicular to its plane: one in the middle and two at the ends.

The outermost mounting pins are the same - simple threaded rods. The distance between them on the bar corresponds to the diameter of the circle along which the centers of the mounting holes of the car wheel disk are located (for Zhiguli - 100 mm). The central pin is stepped: at the bottom there is a collar-heel, above there is a thickened part, at the top there is a rod-axis with a thread at the end.

The collar serves for better stability, the thick part serves to support the rod at the height of the wheel rim, the rod-axle serves to fix one of the ends of the rod to the rod. Fastening the pins on the plate - any in an accessible way: on threads with locknuts, riveting in square holes, etc. as long as the pins don't fly out and turn.

I have these parts inserted into round holes with a diameter of 8 mm in the plate and welded to it from below. In order to speed up the installation of the device on the wheel, appropriate wing nuts were selected for the pins (if there are none, then you can get by with ordinary ones). The rod is made of steel rod with a diameter of 16 mm. One end of it is sharpened to the profile of the mounting blade and well polished. Nearby, behind the profile surface and in its plane, a hole with a diameter of 9 mm was drilled in the rod.

The other end is bent in a heated state with a hook and here, not far from the end, the same hole is also drilled, only its axis is perpendicular to the axis of the hole at the other end of the rod. The cable is steel. Its diameter is selected so that it “doubly” easily passes through the lower hole in the heel support and in the longitudinal groove of the jack stand, into which it is inserted for work. The cable is tied into a ring.

When working, it is better to leave the place of the tie outside the “pulling” zone - throw it on a support (wheel wrench) or on the jack bracket. The tire removal device operates as follows. First, a strip is secured to the wheel rim using outer pins and wing nuts. Then the straight end of the rod is inserted under the bead of the tire (like a mounting paddle), and its curved end is put on the central pin of the bar and secured with a wing nut.

Next, a “balloon” wrench is inserted into one of the windows closest to the bar in the wheel disk (head up) and the lower outlet, the loop of the cable ring, is placed on it. Its other outlet, previously passed under the bar and into the heel hole, is placed on the jack bracket. After this, the jack is installed on the rod, and its handle rotates “ascending”, i.e. clockwise.

In this case, the cable is “selected” and moves the rod with the jack to the place where the lower loop of the cable is attached (to the head of the wheelbrace), and the straight end of the rod brings the tire bead to the wheel rim. Then the wheel key is moved to another window and the operation continues. When replacing a tire, its second bead is brought out in a similar way to the same side of the disk.

The force on the jack handle when performing this work is approximately the same as when lifting a car. To mount the tire on the wheel, the position of the rod changes. Now its curved end is inserted between the rim and the tire bead, and the straight end is attached to the central rod of the bar. The positions of the key, cable and jack remain the same as when removing the tire.

The device is designed for the jack of Zhiguli type cars, but by adjusting certain dimensions of the parts it can be made for other jacks of various brands of cars. The use of the device is especially effective when mounting and dismantling tires with hard sides.

But the most important thing is that not only the wheels and tires, but also the hands remain intact. The reliability of the device is ensured by the simplicity of its design. The weight of the device (without standard equipment) is a little more than half a kilogram; and it fits in a tool bag along with a set of tools.

Homemade manual tire fitting

Hello everyone! I watched a lot of videos about homemade tire fittings. I decided to make my own. I assumed that I would do a tire fitting to disassemble 5 wheels lying around in the garage (the tires on 2 were not bad, the others had nothing) After disassembling my wheels, I tried to trim the tires, but it didn’t work right away. I experimented , remade, resharpened for about a month, everything was new so that it would fit normally. You can watch the video. There is a description of the assembly and what it was made of.

But it’s better, if possible, to go to a specialized tire fitting. Still, after this tire fitting, you need professional balancing.

This tire service is for emergencies or in areas where getting to a tire service center is far away.

Hello! The lever with the balls wobbles the disk inside a little, but the roller one does not. Although I like it better with welded balls (minus the disk wobbles). I spent a month trying to get the roller one to grip well and not tear the rubber.
To avoid tearing the rubber, apply more graphite. And it won’t spoil the rubber, it’s easier to disassemble later and the disc won’t corrode.
I really liked the tire service: https://www.drive2.ru/b/2479311/
If I had seen this video before I made my own, I would have started doing it.
I advise you to do it.

In addition, as someone subtly noted: tire punctures happen more often the further you are from a car service center. Taking into account all of the above, I set myself the task: to develop a simple and small-sized device that works in conjunction with a jack (available with any car) and facilitates the beading and beading of tires. Based on reviews from fellow car enthusiasts who had the chance to use this manufactured device, and based on personal experience, I can say that the problem was solved quite successfully.

The device consists of three parts (assembly units) having a very simple design. They can be made by a DIY car enthusiast with basic metalworking skills. The design and operating principle of the device are clear from photographs and drawings. The plank is a steel plate with dimensions of 140x36x4 mm. Three threaded (M8) pins are welded to it, perpendicular to its plane: one in the middle and two at the ends.

The collar serves for better stability, the thick part serves to support the rod at the height of the wheel rim, the rod-axle serves to fix one of the ends of the rod to the rod. Fastening the pins to the plate - in any available way: on a thread with lock nuts, riveting in square holes, etc., as long as the pins do not fly out or turn.

How to make a tire changing machine with your own hands?

The most convenient, fastest and most reliable way to replace tires is at a specialized tire workshop. But it’s not always possible to go there, and there may be a lot of reasons for this, one of which is the cost of replacement. That's why some motorists try to do everything themselves. Only this will require certain equipment. We will tell you further about how to make a simple tire changing machine in your garage.

Do you need a wheel beading machine in your garage?

In fact, if you look from the outside, the procedure for changing tires does not seem such a difficult task. You just need to remove the old tire and put the new one on the rim. But as soon as you start dismantling, one problem arises - you simply lack physical strength.

You can purchase a special travel kit that will make the task easier. It includes a set of various mounts and special wedges. But if the tire has been used for a long time, then considerable effort must be made to peel it off from the edge of the disk.

It is precisely in such cases that wheel beading may require some homemade devices that will be designed specifically for your situation. One of these is a tire changing machine.

Design features of a tire changing machine

The design of a tire changing machine is very simple and similar to the design of a rack and pinion jack. It consists of: a frame, a vertical riser and a pipe with a handle.

The frame consists of two parallel pipes made of a rectangular profile. They will be connected to each other with a steel angle.

The vertical riser is attached to the frame and performs a number of tasks: attaching the lever and a platform for fixing rim.

The pipe with the handle will act as a lever when removing the tire.

Important! When constructing all the components listed above, you need to stock up on high-quality rolled metal, because when performing tire fitting, the machine will undergo heavy loads.

Advantages of a homemade design

A machine for beading car wheels, designed by yourself, has many advantages:

Important! At correct use The wheels of such a machine will not be damaged.

When you decide to build a homemade tire changing machine with your own hands, we recommend searching for suitable diagrams and design drawings on the Internet.

Take two strong profile pipes, place them parallel to each other at a distance of at least 70 centimeters. This way the structure will be more stable.
Connect them together with a corner or smaller pipe. Additionally, you can install legs that will be adjustable.
Next, weld a pipe with a cross-section of 20 or 30 millimeters to the crossbar. First weld the flange at a height of approximately 50 centimeters.
Weld the fastener to the vertical part. They will use a steel plate. With its help, a lever will be installed, which will be required to remove the tire from the wheel rim. The lever will consist of two parts: a shoulder and a foot.

Now that you already have a DIY tire changing machine, you can start disassembling the wheel. You will also need a long tire iron from the travel kit. You can weld a handle to it.

Place the wheel on the flange and secure with a clamp.
Using the narrow end of the pry bar, move the edge of the rubber beyond the outer part of the wheel rim. Turn the wheel over and remove the tire completely.

At this stage, it is important to carefully consider the following points:

Homemade tire fitting

22May

Often, a punctured wheel or a cut tire on a car, especially in villages remote from cities, makes the car owner want to make a homemade tire changing machine. There are compelling facts for such a decision

Always available
No need to go anywhere
Save time
Saving money
Manufacturing materials can be found everywhere
Device drawings are essentially not needed
Ease of production

To make such a device for servicing the wheels of your car, we will need the following materials

Channels and corners
Bulgarian
Welding machine
Old unnecessary ordinary metal disk from a car wheel
A few bolts and nuts

Let's get started

The machine can be made either mobile or stationary; the difference, in fact, is only in the presence of the wheels themselves.

That's all

The process of disassembling a wheel on a homemade tire machine

Since this is quite difficult to explain in words, let alone imagine, we will use folk wisdom, which says that it is better to see once than to hear a hundred times

Disassemble a wheel on the road

If there is a need to disassemble a wheel in road conditions, then proceed as follows:

Remove the wheel from the car
Bleed all the air out of it completely.
Thread a tow rope or strong rope through the hole in the disc
Place the jack on the tire as close to the rim as possible
Place the cable on the jack, having previously tied it so that it creates a tight ring of circumference between the tire and the jack.
Raise your jack - thereby you will influence the tire, and it will separate it from the disk, while it is better to press with your weight on the opposite part of the wheel from the jack

The photo below will clearly let you understand the whole meaning of this process.

Explosive inflation of a tubeless car wheel

If after this you need to quickly inflate the wheel and you have a tubeless one, then even an electric machine pump will not help you here, because the air will escape through the leaky holes faster than the pump will pump.

How to deal with this situation, just take something very flammable; you can usually get gasoline from the tank or from the fuel hose in the engine compartment.

We need about 50 grams of gasoline
Pour it into the tire, maybe at the junction of the tire with the disk, and throw a match into this place or set it on fire with something on an extension cord - for example, burning paper put on a stick, since when the gasoline ignites, a sharp bang will occur and the wheel may even jump, and so you weren’t injured here and you need a handy extension cord for ignition
After the pop, your tire will have approximately 0.5-2 atmospheres, immediately connect your electric, foot or hand pump and pump up the tire to the required pressure before it goes flat. The video below clearly demonstrates such an explosive process of inflating car tires.
