What do i need to change a wheel?

I'd use something that starts not so hard. I used gas (with springle), I used LPG in small tank. 10-15 ml of oct 87 gas is enought to start up engine

 

Pablo, over here, I've seen guys shoot a little into a hard to seat tire and light it. I've also seen a tire ruined by doing that way. It's not exactly safe or approved, it's more of a redneck way of doing it.

 

Has anyone used a TORQUE MULTIPLIER as shown on ebay?

I have a 1969 White Freightliner that blew the driver's side inside dually. Now to see witch way the lugs come off . I'm also wondering if the inside rim will have to be removed to put the tire on. I already removed the blown tire, now just the rim. I understand the outside lug's are to be torqed to 550 ft LB's for steel are the inside lugs torqed to 50 ft lbs??

 

I tried a bike inner tube. lubed the tire and rim up with silicon tire lube, blew up the bike tire after I placed it on the rim. Tire blew up great, yippy, uuuhhh now how to get the bike tube out from between the rim and tire. Well after 3hr of trying, tearing up one bike tube and having it getting pinched several time. Done the tie strap aound the tire, etc... I've had it, grabbed some starting fluid, had water bucket, fire ex and g/f with a charged hose. Sprayed a little into the tire, touched off with a little flame thrower action and phoomm, scream from g/f from warm air blowing up her skirt, a little flame and hosing me with the water hose with me yelling not meeeeeeeeee. Any way the tire was finaly mounted. I've since made a home made bead blaster. But in a real pinch the above will save your bacon. Make sure you jack up the axle first. I've seen guy's try this with the tire on the ground.

 

Why spend money on a torque multiplier that can only be used on truck wheels? Just buy a regular torque mult. and use it on anything and everything.
Unless you're rolling in dough and can afford a dedicated wheel tool it is a great invention.

 

This one costs $6,102.00, but you save $736.20! Lol.

 

This thing from China is from $50 to 100!

 

Anyone have problems with breaker bars? I don't know if multipliers replaced them for truck wheel torque ranges (or to what extent they may be overtorqued).

Just in case I ordered one that comes with a few sockets, which costs about the same as the socket set alone (so it could be useful either way). Doubt I'll change someone else's wheel out, but was reading that it might be necessary to back off the nuts a turn to properly retorque them, and I figure the multipliers with a high ratio would do that easiest (loosening I mean, wouldn't want such a high ratio for torquing, myself). It's part of changing a wheel or maintaining it anyway, after 50-100 miles they say.

Ah, that answers my question. I may try both at some point.

 

Probably referring to the bonfire there, but I've used a bead blaster for a tire on the ground, it was an inner dual and punctured even, didn't know that at the time, but it stilll worked (just a test really).
