Protect your expensive wheels from swinging hammers by breaking the bead loose with Gaither’s Slide Hammer. Use only on wheels without a hump.
HOW THE SLIDE HAMMER 12026B WORKS:
Place the wedge of the Slide Hammer on the bead area of the tire near the flange of the wheel.
Draw up the “slide” of the Slide Hammer and slam it down in order to break tire bead loose from wheel flange. It may be necessary to repeat this process in multiple positions around the tire/wheel assembly.
