  Need help, (photos, etc.) breaking down split rims for my 41 1.5 ton truck. These are the ring style not the widow makers.

thank guys.

  Perhaps you can send a close up photo of the rings. Some are a continuous circle and some have a split and they come apart differently. Regardless, you have to break both beads first which will be the most challenging. Some tires I had to saw off, removing the tire casing and leaving enough around the bead to get leverage. Nice truck! Since your truck has been well preserved the tires may be easier to take off than most.

  Yes I am looking for another mirror to fit the right side.

  Well I got them apart, turns out they are Kelsy Hayes, not to tough to deal with. I have to get the lot cleaned up and get the new tires on.

thanks.
