Default Beadbreaking again

I tried everythign this weekend to break the bead of that 15 inch
trailer tire. I put my floor jack on one end and jackt it up, did
about everything.

Would it be possible to make something like this with angle iron to
use with my small floor jack:http://www.extremeoutback.com/

Is there another way I can do this in the future on my small farm?


I made something similar to that. Was not smart enough to make
something that bolted to the base of a bumper jack. That looks like
it would work. But definately too much money for something easy to
make. I ran across a bead breaker similar to the harbor freight 92961
for $ 10 or $15 at a garage sale and bought it. Works well.
