My buddy and I have been trying all day to install the beadlock ring on the wheel with his new 35/12.5/15 MTR Kevlar tires.

The bead seems just to tight and fat to fit the ring onto the wheel.

Any suggestions???

His old BFG Mud Terrains had no problems.

Thanks for any input.

 

Use longer bolts to get them started

 

Tried the long bolts but the last part of the bead won't pop down. We tried dish soap for a lubricant and just can't get it to pop in.

 

try setting the wheel on a 5 gallon bucket. That way the wheel will be stable and allow the tire to move.

 

Try K-Y Jelly.

 

We chucked the MTR's and went back to BFG that mounted with no problems.
