BALANCING COYOTEE BEADLOCKS WITH BALANCE BEADS
BALANCING COYOTEE BEADLOCKS WITH BALANCE BEADS BLIN-12 Note: Also see Tread Overlap Balance, BLIN-06 where you learn how to counter balance the Air Channel and inner tube valve stems with the beadlock case Tread overlap sewing area. Problem: May I use balance beads in my Coyote Dual, Internal, Pneumatic, Boltless Beadlock wheels? Answer: If you’re one of the guys where 4WD is the “end” unto itself, like - Read More -
COYOTE BEADLOCK AIR CHANNEL MOUNTING DETAILS
COYOTE BEADLOCK AIR CHANNEL MOUNTING DETAILS BLIN-10 Rev05 Problem: The Air Channel (AC) does not air down the tire without first deflating the beadlock inner tube. Background: Most likely, the BL case outside Bead was mis-installed. The red lines in Fig. 1 shows how the BL case Bead is improperly placed directly on the metal of the rim’s drop center leaving a gap gap below the AC - Read More -
RIM PREPARATION FOR INNER TUBE REPLACEMENT
RIM PREPARATION FOR INNER TUBE REPLACEMENT BLIN-9 Rev04 PROBLEM: Coyote Dual, Internal, Pneumatic, Boltless, Beadlock inner tubes can be damaged by rim blemishes when replacing the tubes on used rims. DISCUSSION: Coyote Beadlock inner tubes have a smaller ID than the rim diameter and must be stretched over the rim quite tightly. In the process, if the rim is gouged and scratched, these flaws may cut the - Read More -
VALVE STEM O-RING ORDER
DETERMINING THE AIR CHANNEL LENGTH and INSTALL TIPS BLIN-8 Rev05 PROBLEM: The Coyote Dual, Internal, Pneumatic, Boltless, Beadlock inner tube vendor sometimes supplies the inner tubes with the large and small O-rings in the wrong order on the metal valve stem. DISCUSSION: The Coyote Beadlock’s all-thread inner tube valve stem is designed to receive a small O-ring at the base at the intersection - Read More -
DETERMINING THE AIR CHANNEL LENGTH and INSTALL TIPS
DETERMINING THE AIR CHANNEL LENGTH and INSTALL TIPS BLIN-7 Rev04 OBJECTIVE: To determine if you need a long Air Channel and provide installation tips. BACKGROUND: The purpose of the Air Channel is to allow air to freely pass from the Air Channel valve stem into and out of the tire’s primary air chamber. A standard valve stem would be covered and “capped” OFF by the Coyote Beadlock - Read More -
TREAD OVERLAP BALANCE
TREAD OVERLAP BALANCE BLIN-6 Rev04 Note: The images in this BLIN are of the original Staun beadlock. It had white Sidewalls and orange Tread. The newer, made in the USA, Coyotes have nine-times stronger yellow Tread and twice as strong black Sidewalls. Further, the Air Channel is a black rectangle versus a white heart. Problem: I can’t balance my Coyote Dual, Internal, Pneumatic Boltless Beadlock equipped wheels. - Read More -
LOWEST TIRE PRESSURE
LOWEST TIRE PRESSURE BLIN-5 Rev05 Note: The images in this BLIN are of the original Staun beadlock. It had white Sidewalls and orange Tread. The newer, made in the USA Coyotes have nine-time stronger yellow Tread and twice as strong black Sidewalls. Problem: How low of a tire pressure can I run without damaging the Coyote Dual, Internal, Pneumatic, Boltless Beadlock? Discussion: - Read More -
LOCATING THE BEADLOCK TUBE VALVE STEM HOLE
LOCATING THE BEADLOCK TUBE VALVE STEM HOLE BLIN-4 Rev05 Problem: How do I determine the best location for the Coyote Enterprise Dual, Internal, Pneumatic, Boltless, Beadlock inner tube valve stem hole? Solution: A) To determine the “perfect” inner tube valve stem hole location, mount the tube on the flat lying rim, valve stem up (toward the outside of the rim), about 6 to 8 inches (150 to 200mm) clockwise - Read More -
POWDERING BEADLOCK HELP
POWDERING BEADLOCK HELP BLIN-2 Rev5 Problem: You are blowing tubes or finding that the beadlock Case is not properly seating within the tire. Discussion: The problem is almost always due to insufficient use of talcum powder on the beadlock Case, tube, Air Channel and the inside of the tire beads. It may also be due to untrimmed wide tire beads (see BLIN-01 Wide Tire Bead Help). Solution: Use lots of - Read More -
USING WIDE RIMS WITH COYOTE BEADLOCKS
USING WIDE RIMS WITH COYOTE BEADLOCKS BLIN-11 Rev2 Problem: Coyote beadlocks (BL) specify 10-inch maximum rim width. Can they be used in wider rims? Yes, with tires that have wide tire beads. Check with your tire manufacturer for your bead width. Background: The Coyote beadlock 10” max width specification assumes that your tires have standard, ½” wide tire beads that fit completely behind standard rim bead bumps as pictured - Read More -
WIDE TIRE BEADS BLOW INNER TUBES
WIDE TIRE BEADS BLOW INNER TUBES BLIN-01 Rev05 Problem: Coyote beadlock (BL) inner tube failures. Overview: This BLIN is primarily intended to prepare the wide tire beads on large off-road tires to prevent inner tube failures in Coyote internal beadlock. It is recommended that the tire beads be ground as described below on all installations. Background: The inside edge of all tire beads is very, very sharp. Further, large off-road tire - Read More -
AIR CHANNEL MOUNTING DETAIL
AIR CHANNEL MOUNTING DETAIL BLIN-10 -Rev3 Problem: The Air Channel (AC) does not air down the tire without first deflating the beadlock inner tube. Background: Most likely, the BL case outside Bead was mis-installed. The arrowed red line in Fig. 1 shows how the BL case Bead was improperly placed directly on the metal of the rim’s drop center, below the AC. Fig.1 Fig. 2 - Read More -
INSTALLING COYOTE BOLTLESS BEADLOCKS VIDEO
The Coyote Dual, Internal, Pneumatic, Boltless Bead Lock is a tire within a tire. It divides the tire’s air chamber into two separate compartments and thus has two valve stems. One is for the tire and the other for the beadlock. Think of the beadlock Case as a mini-tire and hence its parts are named the same. There is a Tread, two Sidewalls and two Beads. A heavy duty inner tube within the beadlock Case forces the Case to take shape and do its job. The inner tube is inflated up to 50 PSI and forces/pinches both tire beads against the wheel. On a 15 inch wheel, we calculate that there is over 4,500 pounds of force holding the beads against the wheel! This is in addition to the force required to pop the beads over the wheel’s bead bumps. Through a standard valve stem fitted with an Air Channel, the balance of the tire can be inflated or deflated to any pressure less than 45 PSI. Watch the video to see exactly how.
