Receiver mount tire bead breaker from screw jack

I found this in the automotive mechanic's Facebook group and thought it an excellent idea to share here. It's a car screw jack mounted on square tube to fit in a receiver hitch mount with a slightly curved blade added so you can use it as a tire bead breaker.

Thanks for sharing. Neat idea!

While in the Army I was rewarded for for showing all you needed to to break the bead was place the tire under a Heavy vehicle and jack it up with a hydraulic jack
on the tire I could break a tire off a 5 ton truck in 2 minutes.

I learned as a young un how to break the bead by just driving over the tire with a pickup truck. Was an old farmer trick.

Driving over a tire with a pickup might break the bead of a car or pickup's tire but doubt it would work for a 5 ton or heavier truck tire.

It wouldn't work on an ATV tire. Well not for me anyway...
