Description
Coats 181173 Bead Breaker Pad Set for RC Series Tire Changers
The bead breaker pads mount on the side of the tire changer where the wheel edge rests when the bead breaker arm is used to break down tires. Worn or missing pads allow direct metal-to-metal contact that can damage wheels. This aftermarket 3-piece kit is a wear item that should be inspected regularly and replaced as a set.
