Bead Buster Extended Clamp Arm for XB-450I – Automotive Contoured Rims

The Extended Clamp Arm fits the BeadBuster XB-450i (and old XB-451, 452 & 454 PRO models) for effective use on certain automotive wheels which have curved or angled clamping surfaces that make the standard, shorter, clamp arm difficult to use. The long clamp arm will project about 3″ below the feet of the 45X tools, and contact the rim further down where the clamping surface is more parallel to the tool axis. (See Illustration)

     *NOTE* this has been proven to be an effective solution for these difficult rim shapes, but extra care must be taken when clamping because the clamp force will tend to rock the tool backwards, away from the rim, possibly causing the ram foot to miss the bead bundle.  The tool still needs to be aligned perpendicular to the face of the rim to properly break the bead; additional care and manual pressure may be required to ensure alignment.
