Brüder Mannesmann 658-500 bandenlichter 500 mm chroom-vanadiumstaal

Heavy-duty tire changing on trucks, tractors, and agricultural machinery demands a lever that won't flex or fail. The Brüder Mannesmann 658-500 tire lever is forged from chrome vanadium steel and stretches a full 500 mm, giving you the reach and leverage to break stubborn beads and work large tires off their rims. The polished, galvanized finish shrugs off corrosion, while the chisel tip slides cleanly under the bead and the curved spoon end helps roll the tire over the rim without damaging the tube or sidewall.

Key specifications

• Length: 500 mm
• Material: Chrome vanadium steel
• Finish: Polished and galvanized
• Tip: Chisel-shaped for easy insertion
• Application: Tire mounting and demounting
• Intended vehicles: Heavy-duty vehicles, trucks, tractors, agricultural machinery

Why choose it

Chrome vanadium steel is the standard for professional tire tools because it resists bending and deformation under high load. The 500 mm length multiplies your force, making it easier to break beads on stiff, heavy-duty tires. The galvanized coating protects against rust, so the lever stays reliable even in damp workshops or outdoor service conditions.

Ideal use cases

• Changing tires on trucks and trailers
• Servicing tractor and agricultural equipment tires
• Demounting tires in farm workshops and fleet garages
• Breaking beads on large, stiff sidewalls

Good to know

This is a single tire lever, not a set. For many heavy-duty tire changes, professionals use two levers together to work the bead progressively around the rim. The flat bar design provides a solid grip point, and the spoon end is shaped to protect the tube during installation.
