If a shop doesn't have one, they need to !



Generic term is "Bead Blaster." When you turn the valve, all the compressed air comes out instantly.

I am old school with my Tire Tourniquet Technique

Wrap the diameter of the tire with a rope, find a good stick or tool you can wrap the rope around to twist the rope and be able to take up slack on the rope while applying pressure to the diameter of the tire.

The "cheater" (what we call it) that SB is talking about is so much cooler when it goes off then the rope thing though.

Walmart is trying to be the new AMAZON now , they sell everything.
Nice thing is you can pick up at a local store with no shipping charges.
They now have a dedicated area for pickup orders. it`s a 50/50 crap shoot that the employees **** it thou. I`ve gotten emails that my stuff is in and it wasn`t .
