I cut my tire in half the melt the rubber back together, it's easier that way
here we go, followed by Here we go, 🔥👍 stellar
I do all tires by tire spoons an 2 of the plastic snap on helping hands
Back in my younger days i used a sawsall to demove the old tired than man handled that thing onto the rim. Needless to say it took probably several hours and 16 years later ive never done it again 😅😂
I tried doing my atv tires by hand I gave up took it to a shop This would of helped. How much is it ?
Even on this thing you should push the installed portion of the bead into the drop centre while completing the final stretch.
Have had one of these for few years now. It will get jib dine but the black part that is pushing bead on breaks fairly easily. Its never worked this well for.me. also make sure tire is warm and dint expect to talk to costumer service. Tried to leave comment on their website but they didnt allow any that out rabaconda in negative light.
What a nice tool, my employer gives me a Ford truck and a 2 x 4
How do you balance it?
On a steel rim, what about aluminium!??
Better be doing a lot of tires for what it costs.
I leave my tires in the sun for hours and just do by hand. Easy peasy. My son and I just did his front spoked rim for his honda. Took us 10 min at most.
Do you have to breath like you are when doing it
I use a hydraulic jack to break the beads and some tire levers to pry the tire off the rim. Been fixing my own flats for 40 years. With 4 vehicles, 1 tractor, 2 lawn tractors, 3 bicycles, wheelbarrow, hand truck, tiller - that's 37 tires on the ground. I've used two 25 count boxes of patches. That's 50 x 15 = $750 saved, plus I can do it faster and better, and don't have to drive 10 miles to get it done.
Are You aware of the sense of the rim well? Is the tyre bead pushed into it?
The worst is heavy side wall tube dirt bike tires.
Gotta love that feeling when it goes in
I needed it
Need that for a some Conti 5000S TR and a pair of Enve wheels.
Meu sonho é ter um equipamento deste na minha garagem 😅❤
