hey guys. i will soon be painting my aftermarket rims. right now i have my stock rims back on. i was wondering if i would be able to remove the tires by myself to make painting easier. the tires are basically bald so i was planning on deflating each tire and maybe start hacking away at it with an axe or something.
is this a good idea? anyone else done it? i know i can get it done at a shop but if its easy doing it myself i can save like 20 bux. |

IF I had to dismount a tire without a machine, my tools of choice would be a shovel for loosening the beads from the wheel, and the about 5-6 crow bars and 2-3 friends to help you hold all the crow bars. it'll probably scratch the hell out of the wheel though. you'll also need a valve core remover, which I saw at walmart the other day for like $4. plus about 2-3 hours of time to get them all off.
