DETAILS:

If you make your living doing tire service, work on a race team, or just have a sizable fleet of toys that go fast, you need the BeadBuster XB-454. This car tire bead breaker is Professional Grade, and we spared no expense in its construction. All of the steel parts are made from premium Chrome-Moly and heat treated for ultimate strength (hardened to >RC57-58), and the hardware is Upgraded to Grade 8. Our Pro Bead Breaker comes with a standard padded clamp arm and a clamp post for reinforced wheels, both upgraded to premium Chrome-Moly steel. We also give you extra hardware just in case anything wears out. The BeadBuster XB-454 has all of the benefits of the original BeadBuster XB-450 Motorcycle Bead Breaker & the XB-451, but is made with the finest materials available to so that it can work as hard as you, whether in the shop or at the race track. We Warranty the tire changing tool for a full 3 years.

The post-style clamp arm is for use on reinforced ATV wheels (aka “Reinforced Rims” or “Rock Rings”). Reinforced Rims (not to be confused with Bead Locks) can be found on Kawasaki KFX OEM wheels, and certain aftermarket Baja racing wheels. >> Learn More

No adjustment is needed for different tire/wheel sizes. This race car shop tool is small, portable, and perfect for stashing in your glove box or tool box. Save time, money, and frustration by quickly and easily changing your own tires whenever, and wherever you want. All of our car tire bead breakers come with FREE Shipping. (USA only, reduced price Int’l shipping)

IMPORTANT NOTES:

A 3/4″ wrench is required to drive the clamp and ram bolts. Hand wrenches will work, power tools are recommended. You can use an impact wrench, but use caution with a 1/2″ impact to not over-torque the bolts.
Tire Irons are required to finish the job of removing the tire from the rim.
The XB-450 ATV tire bead breaker will NOT work on wheels that have a reinforcing ring (aka “rock ring”), such as Kawasaki KFX OEM wheels, and certain aftermarket Baja racing wheels. For Reinforced Rims, you need the XB-451 or XB-454 PRO.
Certain cast aluminum and alloy passenger vehicle rims and large agricultural rims have a profile that prevents the tool from clamping properly (see illustration). See the specifications above; if in doubt, measure your rims and compare to the tool’s spec. limits. For Automotive wheels with curved/angled surfaces, an XB-451 or XB-454 PRO with the optional Long Clamp Arm is needed for proper clamping with those problematic wheels.
The BeadBuster 45X series was designed for use on the most common Diameters of ATV/UTV Rims: 9″ and larger. Smaller rims (7″ & 8″) have a different and shallower lip profile. Use on these rims may cause damage to the ram foot as the feet can catch on the bead retainer. However, the tool can be effectively used on these smaller rims with a spacer (BB1-SPCR ) that we sell. Its a small magnetic pad that effectively shortens the feet for small rims. Damage to the ATV tire bead breaker as a result of use on these smaller rims without the spacer voids the warranty.

PROFESSIONAL MECHANICS

If you make your living changing tires, you NEED a BeadBuster in your tool box. Especially if you routinely change ATV tires; often you’ll find an old dry-rotted tires that even a $3000+ Coats tire machine will struggle with it. The problem is that all other bead breakers push down on the sidewall, not directly on the bead bundle like the BeadBuster does. The last thing you want to do is have your shop tech fighting with a stubborn tire for a couple hours, when a BeadBuster could do the job in a couple minutes. We know there are tricks, like putting a few psi in the tire to give the traditional bead breaker something to push against; but that doesn’t work so well when you have to do the other side, and it definitely doesn’t work when you have a ripped open sidewall from an ‘enthusiastic’ rider and the tire will no longer hold pressure! To be sure, the XB-454 PRO is the professional mechanics answer to even the biggest problem ATV wheels. You can also use the BeadBuster to change valve stems on motorcycle wheels in the parking lot, without ever having to take the wheel off. There are so many ways that BeadBuster will impact your bottom line.
