Ever find yourself in need of breaking a tire bead on the trail so that you can do something like replace a valve stem? Ever wanted to know how you can get that bead reseated in a real hurry? In this short video, you'll get to see us do both as we break a tire bead using a simple Hi-Lift Jack and the bumper on a Jeep and then reseat it again and in a real hurry with FIRE!! I know this is a departure from the kind of videos we normally make and I also realize that this may be nothing new to a lot of you but I hope you enjoy it just the same.

NOTE: This video was made because it was fun, we needed to swap out a valve stem and it was something we could do. That being said, we could have just as easily got the bead reseated simply by pulling the tire over the valve stem and airing it up with a good air compressor like a WARN PowerPlant, ARB or the like - trust me, we have done it countless times. Where a lot of guys totally blow this method is that they don't take the tire off the Jeep, remove the valve stem core or don't use a hammer to equalize the pressure and in that order. This can be a very dangerous method to use especially if you're up in an area where fire hazards exist like up in the crispy dry mountains of California. If you're there and in need of reseating a bead, DO NOT use this method. Also, IF you use this method, do it at your own risk.
