IMPORTANT NOTES

**7″ & 8″ ATV wheels require a Spacer (BB1-SPCR) to be used with the XB-450i. These smaller ATV rims, typically found on 3-wheelers and mini-quads, have a shallower rim depth (see diagram) and need the spacer to prevent the feet from catching the bead retainer.
If you don’t know your Rim Code, and aren’t sure if the BeadBuster will fit on your rims, you need to measure the Rim Lip Thickness and Width (see diagram), and compare to the limits for the XB-450i series tools shown below. Small wheels are usually not a problem for the tool, but some very large agricultural/tractor wheels can have a lip that is too large for the tool to properly clamp onto, for the XB-550i HD was designed for use on these larger wheels.
There are some cast aluminum and alloy wheel designs used on passenger vehicles and some trucks that have a rim profile that prevents the tool from properly clamping. If the opposite side of the lip (where the clamp would make contact) is very contoured or angled, or otherwise has obstructions, the XB-450i with the standard clamp arm will tend to slip out instead of pulling the feet in. The BeadBuster needs an approximately parallel surface (with respect to the clamp arm) to make secure contact for clamping. (see illustration) The Accessory Extended Clamp Arm (BB1X-CAE) is required and effectively interfaces with these 'trouble wheels'. -ALSO- The XB-550i HD stock clamp arm does project a bit further than the standard XB-450i clamp arm, so it will clamp properly on all but the most severe Contoured Rims. There is also an additional Extended Clamp Arm for the XB-550i.
