Wrapped the evap canister ‘in’ line with that self sealing rubber tape. It’s been failing every self test since I lost my green clip last summer. Fingers crossed.

Failed self test, was pretty sure it was the wiring, this seems to confirm that.

You all may recall when an LX tried the Rubicon and had to get towed out for evap issues that caused the AHC to fail?

I happened to already be in low after my typcial failed self test scenario. I was pretty shocked to see that AHc did indeed raise with no issues.

So when there is this daisy chain failure , must be a different kind of evap code than the self test failures set.

Here are the codes I get every few days that are caused likely by a broken wire in my extended evap harness

So . . . I wanted the tpms sensor out of this tire. I read you could pop the bead by just driving over the tire. I’m here to say ‘No’.

Yes , that bead has been lubricated with soapy water. I also spent some time hammering it with a bead slide hammer.

It’s on there. Added an after photo as proof.

Next to try is the jack against the rig method.

I had success with the bottle jack and put it between the rear bumper (Dissent) and the downward pressure got the bead popped pretty quickly. I used my 18v impact and jammed a socket onto the jack to rapidly extend it.

Did you remove the valve stem? That will allow the tire to flex more and should aid in getting that bead popped. Just be sure to stay clear of the TMPS, I snapped it off inside the tire and had a nightmare of a time getting the pieces out.

Yes, no valve stem.
I’ll watch out for the tpms!

Not sure how often you need to break the bead on tires, but they make these simple tools that you can use an impact wrench on.

Not sure how well the one from harbor freight works, but it is pretty cheap.

No picture to share, but I've always had great success with the floor jack and ratchet strap method to pop a bead. And lots of soapy water of course.

My old floor jack worked for this. The new one has a different swing, or my pointy wood block broke, or the jack head is too large. I can’t remember it’s been a few years. Long story short it didn’t work on these tires five years ago.

I’ve had a lot of trouble manually mounting E rated tires, but I think it’s more higher load tires.

Michelin Radials in P 285x50r20 - easy to do. 114 load
Dunlop radial (OEM) 114 - doable, stiffer than the Michelin
Michelin ATX I think it was. Passenger at tire. 114 or so. Stiffer than the passenger tires. Took a while but got there
Goodyear wrangler duratrac 125 load - not really, I can’t recall if I got one or none on before driving to the shop
Kenda AT 129 load. Nope. Couldn’t even get the rim thru them. Direct to shop.

Current situation the tire is completely dry rotted and I still can’t get the bead. Will be jacking it under the rig next.
