Abstract
A tire bead breaking tool for removing a tire from a tire wheel rim includes an elongated support, which is positionable across the diameter of the tire. First and second clamps are coupled to the elongated support for securing the tire bead breaking tool to the wheel rim. The elongated support is attached to a first and second bracket. A lever arm is removably coupled to the first bracket and provides force against a bead breaker foot, which contacts the tire. The bead breaker foot is positioned at a 10 degree angle and extends between the first and second clamps for facilitating breaking of the bead of the tire. The second clamp is threadedly attached to the tire bead breaking tool for adjustment of the second clamp with respect to the first clamp for using the bead breaking tool for various sized tires.
