water inside tire

[bad*news*cj5]

hey guys this might be stupid questions but I got a tire on a rim that the bead is still sealed pretty good that has water in it. how do i get it out? Any way with out taking tire off then paying someone to put it back on?

only real way I know of is to take the valve core out, let it go flat and break the bead and maybe stick a shop vac hose down in there? If it got wet from wheeling it probably has more than just water in it .. might be best to just have someone take it off and put it back on to be sure you can clean it all good.

how is the easiest way to break bead? I tried using my hi lift jack and push on the tire with the weight of jeep and got nothing

Use a heavier truck. That is the #1 way to break a bead at home. I have used a jeep or a trailer or the hitch on my tow rig, and had all them break beads no problem with a high lift

yeah just run up over the side with another truck, or put the jack on the lip of the tire and jack up on the truck/trailer with it. if you are a heavier guy you might just be able to jump on it.

youll get it, usually just the jack will get it with no issues. you can use a soap/water spray and spray it all around too. cant hurt
