Coats Tire Changer Parts: 8183312 Bead Loosening Cylinder

The bead won't break, and the tire isn't going anywhere. When your bead loosener quits mid-job, the whole bay stops with it. The Coats 8183312 Bead Loosening Cylinder is the OEM assembly that gets you back to seating and stripping rubber without a workaround. It's the actual bead breaker cylinder Coats builds for the job, not a generic stand-in that fights your machine.

This cylinder fits most Coats brand rim-clamp tire changers and carries a 3/4-inch thread diameter on the rod. That thread size is the detail that matters. Some Coats models run a 1-inch thread diameter and need a different cylinder, so confirming your rod thread before ordering saves you a return. When you're sourcing Coats tire changer parts, matching the rod thread is the difference between a bolt-in swap and a part that sits on the shelf.

You already know what a bead loosener does. What you need is one that installs clean and holds up shift after shift. This OEM unit does both, and because it's the factory design, some installs let you reuse the air fittings off your old cylinder to cut the swap time down.

What's Included

  • Bead loosening cylinder assembly (OEM)
  • 3/4-inch thread diameter rod

Some installs call for changing or reusing the air fittings from your original cylinder. Call to confirm included accessories.

Installation & Setup

Before anything else, check your rod thread. If your machine runs a 1-inch thread, this isn't the right part and you'll want the correct cylinder for that spec. Two minutes with a thread gauge up front beats a return later.

Once the thread's confirmed, the swap is straightforward. Because this is the OEM design, your existing mounting points line up the way they should. Some applications let you carry over the air fittings from the old cylinder, which trims the install time. Others may need new fittings, so have both on hand before you start pulling the old unit.

Applications

Independent Tire Shops

If your Coats rim-clamp changer is the workhorse of the bay, a dead bead loosener means dead time. This OEM cylinder gets it back in rotation.

Auto Service & Repair Bays

General service shops running seasonal tire swaps need a bead breaker that holds up to volume. The factory cylinder is spec'd for it.

Fleet & Municipal Maintenance

When downtime on a Coats changer stalls your whole fleet schedule, an OEM replacement keeps the machine consistent shift to shift.

Rebuilds & Restorations

Bringing an older Coats rim-clamp changer back to service? Pairing the right cylinder with wear parts like the bead loosener pad restores factory performance.

This is a repair-and-restore part, so it belongs in any shop keeping a Coats machine alive. When you're already pulling a coats tire changer parts diagram to find the right components, it pays to check related wear items in the same pass. The 104024 upper bead loosener arm part, the 8183606 bead loosener shoe sock, and a fresh bead loosener pad 8183034 are common companions on a full bead-loosener refresh, and a large bead loosener setup often needs several of these replaced together.
