When I was a young man I did this with my father using hand tools. It was such a hard job but it taught me to respect hard work and treat others who do manual, physical labor with respect. This young man will not forget the difficulty of this job. Quality time with his father ! I still think My dad was crazy having us do this ! 🤙🏽

Yeah, and crazy doing it for yourself, get the Tyre shop to do It, But maybe handy for son to know how to do! A pair of small G clamps can be handy to hold the bead in place.

Hi angel, the trick to these is to have the part that breaks the bead on the bottom last hole from the three and make sure NOT to have the arm straight down over the tire, but you want to pull the tire further out and have the arm sit about at 45 degree angle or somewhere between 45 and 90, but definitely closer to 45, once you get a feel for what angle catches best just repeat, also always make sure to lube up the tire thoroughly going on and taking off.. You guys had the arm sitting much too upright parallel with the main shaft of the tool.

I don't know if anyone else mentioned, but the trick to getting the tire back on is to make sure you keep it pushed down in the drop while prying up and over small amounts at time. If you don't have the tire in drop center, you'll be fighting yourself like you were and not have enough stretch. It's difficult to keep it in drop center yourself without the tire walking, but No-Mar and others make "extra hand" tools. I prefer the Yellow Thing. These manual tire changes work great once you know how to use them and pay for themselves quickly. With the Yellow Thing, I only use a single tire iron like the two you had, but you need to use the other curved end to pry the tire over. There are also "duck bill" mods out there that make it even easier, but a little pricey. First time I used this, I struggled just like you until I figured out the trick was to keep tire in drop center. Now I can get a new tire on in less than 2 minutes. Hopefully these tips help you or others for next time.

@phrenologisto Жыл бұрын

By "drop center" do you mean centered on the tool, so the arm needs to be angled out towards the bead? I'm not clear on your instructions but appreciate the value of your experience and your contribution. Thanks for sharing!

@dubmob151 9 ай бұрын

The drop center of the wheel is the well or lowest part inside the wheel, near the outer edge. By making sure the opposite side of the tire bead sits down in that well, it allows the tire to be pulled out away from the rim during mounting and demounting for sufficient slack to get it over the edge. 24:03 you can see that lower well in the wheel there. It's usually never actually in the center with automotive wheels but always near the edge where the tire needs to be mounted from. If you don't keep that opposite side in the well or "drop center", you won't have the slack needed and make it a big struggle as you attempt to stretch the tire instead. They even have tools to clamp onto the rim to make sure the opposite bead is kept in the drop center, because that's such a key part of doing it successfully.

I know all the troubles here but the main thing is, that you always have to make sure that the opposite side of the tire edge is in the notch of the rim - then you can make the change without great effort .)

The trick with bead breaking is to move the tire further from the post, so the lever is pushing the blade of the tool angled toward the rim, not away from the rim... then it won't try to slip away from the bead.

@robertvincent5678 3 жыл бұрын

If you pull the tire out towards the end of the bar ( towards yourself) the bead breaker will be on an angle more forward rather than back towards the support post. That's why the tire didn't fit in and you had to cut the bar so it would go higher. Don't know if that makes sense but I have the same one, once you get used to it it's pretty easy.

Folks, if you buy this changer be prepared to encounter a tire so tight on the wheel that the bead breaker piece is destroyed by the leverage created by the steel pole. That happened to me today. I am lucky to have the scrap steel and welding equipment to fabricate a bead breaker that is hugely stronger than Harbor Freight’s.

I have used my Harbor Frieght tire changer and have fallen in love with it, I am in the process of upgrading it, I will have possibly $150.00 in parts. Please check the other KZfaq's to see the upgrades but if you can weld than you will have no trouble in building it. There's kits out there where they want $700.00 for it where the parts are only like I said about $1500.00. By the way, I married a Filipino in 1972 while in between DaNang Vietnam, Ubon Thailand and Cubi Point Philippines. We were married for 26 years and have 3 sons and 13 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren. You take care and use more Soap and the tires will come off and go back on easier.

The trick with bubble balancing is to place two weights in a V to balance out the single point. Keep scooting the weights towards each other, closing the tops of the V until the bubble balances. Been using this method for decades and it works perfectly at high speeds. Zero vibration. Only use center stick on weights.

@echts 3 жыл бұрын

Hey bud , been looking at buying one of those changers and been watching a few videos. What I've observed that no one has really mentioned is rather then push the tire towards the center , pull it away. Several folks have noted the leverage part hitting the center post. I think it's intentional to avoid the foot from positioning too close resulting in slipping away from the rim. If the set up is pulled away from the post , the pivot point can only push down towards the rim. I'm guessing that's the purpose of the catch on the foot plate is to limit distance and bind,forcing the pressure in to the bead. Overall great video. Have kids of my own and experiences like these are what it's all about. Looking forward to trying out myself. All info is appreciated thanks for sharing your experience.

@FixItAngel 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Aaron, thank you for watching. Yes I think you are right. I will try that next time. It was our first time to use that tire changer so I knew it wasn’t going to be easy but my son and I got it done. I think if I do a couple sets of tires I would get better on it. Yes, that’s the whole point on the video. Spending time with my son and experience working on a car. Have fun on replacing your tires. Stay safe and stay well.

@electrified3407 2 жыл бұрын

@Aaron Lawrence You're right. It's all about the leverage. The way he had it set up, the tire was too close to the center post and the bead breaker was forced straight down onto the sidewall. The tire needs be away from that center post, up against the metal triangle wheel chock. In that position, the bead breaker is at an angle and is forced between the rim & the bead and won't slip down onto the sidewall. This would've saved him a lot of effort and he wouldn't be advising against buying this manual wheel changer. On the plus side, he had quite an adventure with his son. Can't argue with that.
