I have a little update to share with my project - I managed to pull the bead lock insert out of the old tire with a floor jack, chain, two 3.5 ft pry bars, and a 4x4 wood block. I probably didn't even need the floor jack, or could've substituted it with another pry bar. I'll make a video when...

Good to know! I've never removed bead locks before but got a little spooked when I saw this video: Perhaps @Gunzy can speak more about what happened here :ROFLMAO: Maybe I'll hold off on buying bead locks. How much do they weigh? I know Eastern Surplus wanted $180 to ship two to my home...

I'm not sure if there's anything wrong with them. I thought it would be a good idea to have a spare or two in case they got damaged during removal. I've seen something similar done with an engine hoist, where the tire it put under the two front legs and the bead lock is chained to the hoist.

Speaking of bead locks - what are people buying for bead locks? I'm going to go through each of my wheels and replace them as needed as I do the tires. I see that Eastern Surplus has them for about $50 each (not including shipping), but I'm not sure what other options are out there.
