I got to say that the duck bill set up is the way to go for a home shop.

If you change enough tires with the Harbor Freight unit you will encounter one that will destroy the flimsy bead breaker. If you have welding equipment I highly recommend reinforcing the breaker or, better yet, fabricating a new one that reuses the shaped piece that is placed against the tire. Welding the T-shaped base pieces to the main post is also a good idea. A piece of rubber mat does a better job of keeping the tire from shifting during bead breaking. The Lucid duckbill setup is nice but very expensive; functionally identical unpainted units are half the price on eBay.

Great video. That duck bill is a game changer.

Thank you. I am finding some limitations with wider tires but I will make a spacer to space the duckbill up and I think that will solve it. Enjoy! Thank you for watching.

I just ordered one from HF (out of stock in store cause a good discount) and used it yesterday... This thing is pretty thick metal. I just used it to change out my tpms. A shop didn't know how to properly install new ones. Got new tires and they were all on flat the next day. I thought it was the amazon tpms I bought, so I ordered oem ones. My thought was i dont want to spend the $60 to have them do something so simple. This was 40 bucks with the inside track deal. But that stupid tire shop ended up putting the plastic washer inside on top of the rubber o-ring. Thats why they all leaked. I usually work on my own cars, so this will be something new i can do. Tires are cheaper if you just order online anyway. Need to order the attachment. What are you doing for balancing? I seen the Amazon one, but some folks say its needs some work to make it accurate.

Would it do a 20" wheel?

@DriftSanti Ай бұрын

I think thats close to the limit but dont remember exactly. They have that in the description of their listing on ebay.

The red one from harbor freight was stronger than the black one

@DriftSanti Ай бұрын

In what way?

@LuisNazarioRatKiller Ай бұрын

no its not the color its the type i bought another black one from HF and it was much beefier than previous look for one that is like the video that has the small box underneath where the pin goes if the pin has no box then its the weaker one

@LuisNazarioRatKiller Ай бұрын

@@DriftSanti some models are noticeably weaker thinner and lighter metals I even had one where the actual long bar would bend with ease

@LuisNazarioRatKiller Ай бұрын

box and pin can be seen at .30 all the way on the right in this video the weaker models have no box there and the pin is straight stays on with a small ring, just bought a new one and returned my old weaker one with it all pieces are thicker and heavier

@DriftSanti Ай бұрын

I noticed the same thing. In fact already had a piece of metal set aside to reinforce the bead breaker after the research I had done but this thing is stout now. This one seems pretty dang strong including that pin.

Nicely done, you have a great setup there. Yes it will save money. I keep track of my spending in an excel file and am still ahead of the game after 24 tires. When installing the first bead, you may be able to just push that first bead on. You kind of walk it on pushing on one side then the other. Eventually you may care about balancing - don't get an HF bubble balancer - that just didn't work for me.

@DriftSanti 25 күн бұрын

Thanks man. Ive been able to push on the first bead and as far as expeses it dropped my drift event costs by $100(local mounting costs are dumb high). Yeah for now I havent worried about balancing mainly because you dont feel it on the rears.

@@DriftSanti Forgot to mention, I do get tires from Priority... or Discount Tire Direct or even Amazon. I have to move my setup as I park there, so over time, the original bolts have stretched as they were too soft, so I'm now using grade 8 bolts. The bolts seem to work but I think the same red-head floor anchors are stretching too. It would be nice if I could get them out and replace them.

@@richbinaz priority tire is great for me too but i think its time to move into a higher performance tire for better life and grip. As far as the bolts mine havent budged so Ive been lucky so far.

What would you recommend for a home balancer if not the HF bubble balancer?

@richbinaz 15 күн бұрын

@@Spoonlntegra After I found out how bad the HF bubble balancer I bought was, I started down a vertical balancing path - same method as I use for my motorbike wheels. For that I got a cheap new hub and found I had to reduce the internal friction. It got complicated and it was limited to like one car per hub, so not really very practical. I hear trailer hubs have very low resistance... too late for me though... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/os9mlqWCp8mziGw.html Plan D, which I think is much more practical, was going back to horizontal balancing and using a steel ball to center the wheel hub on a level steel plate. And so I don't have to buy a bunch of steel balls, I got some hub centric rings for wheels with pilots large than that size of the ball. I can now balance anything from an XB mk1 up to a Sliverado 1500. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jc2agbJjzNqXqJs.html See text under this video for other links I recommend the horizontal laser balancing, specially if you dealing with more than one hub pattern. There are limitations. It won't do wheels with recessed hubs (wheel CG below Ball CG) It won't do wheels that pilot on the lug nuts (Citroen 2CV)
