    Now that's interesting. Given the some 100mm of movement with the EAS that might be a goer.

    Might have to overcome the Landy EAS's propensity for self raising first.

    Wouldn’t a hi lift jack foot plate on the Tyre have a similar effect?

    I'm sure I saw someone using a hi-lift under the tow hitch and it did exactly the same job. This thread reminds me I've got a bead breaker down the shed I've never used and keep meaning to get rid of. I really must start decluttering the whole house actually of stuff I/we have bought over the years before looking around for a last house move.

    I tried using a jack before on a D2 and it just lifted the car up without popping the bead. Try it at home before relying on it in the bush.

    I have an R&R Beadbreaker that I haven't used since I've had Land Rovers with alloy rims. The AH2 bead on an LR rim is a bitch to break - oh, and there is a particular spot on the rim where you need to start trying.

    I don’t believe so as I’ve heard people dropping a bead on a Compo at lower pressures, that the LR rim would laugh at. It’s one of the saving graces of the low profile tyres - at least the rims let you lower far lower than otherwise acceptable to get you out of a bind.

    Happy to stand corrected.

    Not trying to hi-jack the thread, but related.

    Has anyone ever used the "BeadBuster XB-550" or similar on a 19' or 20" rim? Looks the goods but is it strong enough. I suppose breaking the bead is only half the battle. I think getting a 19 or 20' trye off or on a rim would be near impossible on the trail.
