Bad idea to slam anything with an edge into the side of a rubber tire??? Proper tools save lives.I don't think you were wrong is using the pick, or at least not alone. a friend of mine who was an engineer in the army asked if the truck came with a "pick o matic". apparently they have been used more than once to change a tire.
If you're coming to the Ga Rally, I have 2 cages and I need to sell one. Really cheap. $50? I can get pictures today.I have a couple of questions on this as I'm getting ready to change to some 16 tires and I don't have a cage.
I have never heard of a lock ring turning into shrapnel. If the ring isn't properly seated in the wheel groove or if the lip of the tire bead has an issue, when inflating, it may force the ring off and obviously with a lot of force. I've never heard of one turning into shrapnel.What are the chances of the 5 ton wheel lock ring actually explodes into shrapnel? If that's the case then it doesn't seem the cages are even safe?
In theory, once the tire bead has seated on the ring, the ring is locked onto the wheel by the tire. A flat tire that is still "beaded" can't let the ring come off, whereas when you're inflating it for the first time, the bead hasn't seated on the ring.Also, if they can fail, what's the difference in just airing up a tire low on pressure?
Goes without saying you should own a remote tire chuck.After reading this informative post, I'm thinking of only airing up with the wheel or tire mounted and either putting an excavator bucket up against the wheel or a bobcat bucket.
You're using the site the right way, you're searching for your answers and bumping relevant threads.I know the thread is old but thanks for this. Glad I found it. These wheels and tires are so heavy and I only air up to 40psi most of the time to help with the ride, I would have never imagine this type of problem.
Thanks
I only have one and kfrosty has first dibs on it, he pm'd me before you responded. He's gonna' see if he can get someone to pick it up from me and bring it to him or closer to him. If it falls through with him, you're #2.I'll take one of those cages for 50!
Check your inbox, sent you a pm yesterday.Sounds good. If he doesn't want it I'll buy it and either just come get it or pick it up at the rally. 11R20 is all I need, I don't really plan on switching from the stock rims.
