    They are easier on back and twice the work. When you use the hammer, you want to minimize contact with rim as you strike, but be as close to rims edge as possible.

    Hydraulic bead breaker, but if you ask the guys who do this all the time, they never take it out of the truck. I have three sets of Gaither's Supper Tool Sets" and I say spend $100 on the hammer.

    My tire guy does for beer. Run flats on MRAP are no different then standard wheel. You have to go to a tractor tire place. Not truck or car. There is a big difference in what and tech ability.

    You need a long handle Duckbill Hammer or one of my tire kits. No just a duckbill. $100.00. Practice on old steel rim. There are also hydraulic bead breakers. I bought the duck and off they went. Tire guy will break down for $15 to $30 each.

    Rim bolts should be torqued with a torque wrench, not impact! They need to be run down in steps side to side top to bottom slowly. Wheel to adapter needs torque wrench too. Lugs 550, adapter 192, rims 105. All foot pounds! Yours are different.
