Skip to 1:12 for tire changer stuff.
In preparation for mounting tires on my new wheels I went ahead and got a manual tire changer from Harbor Freight and modified it to hopefully be easier and safer for the wheels. With a few tools this should make mounting tires on nice alloys trivial. For under $200 you could have a tool that will pay for itself over and over again.

Well done -- Thanks for sharing! Gotta say , that wine cellar is beyond World Class -- I hope your customers know how lucky they are. Breathtaking. By the way, you do need to change your steel supplier, based on what you showed (honestly, over double what it should be even by 2022 inflation standards).

@GreeceMonkeyz Жыл бұрын

Thank you! Yeah, steel prices suck locally if you want small lengths, I need to practice picking up full lengths to keep in stock.

@AerialLensVideo Жыл бұрын

@@GreeceMonkeyz Yes, I was indeed referring to the standard 20-foot "stick." The L**** and H***D and many other prices tend to redefine what gouging looks like, at least for cut length metals.

Brilliant Design! Easy to build, and effective. The last time I had tires mounted, it cost $60 each for mount and balance, for new tires! I think one time will easily pay for your whole setup. That assumes a person has a way to balance tires.

@GreeceMonkeyz Жыл бұрын

Absolutely pays for itself. I balanced with the Harbor Freight bubble balancer and the 22s on my Escalade were fine up to 70mph where I got a small vibration, not too shabby.

Great build! What gauge exhaust pipe did you use? How’s it holding up? Thanks for the video…collecting parts now to build.

@GreeceMonkeyz 2 жыл бұрын

It's holding up quite well, the first set of wheels I did were 22's with raised spokes, so after struggling through that normal wheels have been a breeze. The exhaust tube was 16 gauge I believe. Local auto parts stores usually have small lengths in stock, or even just ask a repair shop for scrap.

Nice tire changer modification. Did the U bolts hold the duck head drop pipe tight and in position while peeling the tire off the rim? thanks for posting

@GreeceMonkeyz 5 ай бұрын

They really aren't seeing much force as the pry bar does all the work down low and the duck head its sliding along the rim which keeps it in place too. But yes they've been holding just fine!

A 30+ year experienced lead welder told me not to dip freshly welded metal into water. He said it could warp or crack. I wonder why i see a lot of videos of people doin the opposite...hmmm... Maybe cause I was doin exhaust at the time and the metal is thinner?

@GreeceMonkeyz 2 жыл бұрын

He's right, quenching it can introduce fractures in the metal from rapid contraction and cause deformation. On a non-structural part, with carbon steel and time constraints I don't worry about it much, but it is indeed a bad habit.

you dont need a duck head. best way to not scratch or damage the rim edge is simply to turn the rim upside down with the face pointing downwards. Just cut a hole in a rubber mat and place it on the top surface of the harbor freight tire changer. When working on the backside it doesn't matter if you get some minor scratches

@GreeceMonkeyz Жыл бұрын

Good tip, thanks!

@dubmob151 8 ай бұрын

Have you ever tried changing a tire though? It seems like a good method to anyone that's seen videos of the process, but the problem is that wheels are not symmetrical, and by design, the drop center is always at the outer edge of the wheel. The side where the drop center is would be the only option.
