@Slambo2855 2 года назад

The smaller the tire, the harder it is to put on is RIGHT ! Thanks for the instruction.

@bobengelhardt856 2 года назад

I've had this changer for a number of years and have struggled with it. Putting the cone-shaped spacer on over the lever is brilliant! I can't believe that the instructions don't show that.

@robbyddurham1624 Год назад

Thanks for taking the time to make a video on this. Does anyone else hold their breath while watching work videos? I catch myself needing to breath.

@martysmith6555 Год назад

Thank you for showing where the red tire bar fits under the aluminum cone shaped spacer. I couldn’t hold the tool down and the bead would not start under the rim. You helped me out a lot.

@larrys7998 Год назад

A pair of vise grips on the wheel when mounting the tire helps immensely

@facereader99 4 года назад

I like the fact that you put the valve side down. Similarly, you locked the rod under the disk that stopped the rod from moving out of the position where it is supposed to be, between the tire and the rim. Bravo and thank you!

Thanks for the information. I got the same set up. I got the bottom side on and I've been fighting the top side for 2 hours. I'm going to try the arrangement of the cone, adapter and top piece. I'm not a weak guy either. I saw 1 guy use a pair of vice grips to keep the tire down under the rim. But it just gets on the way. Have a good one Doouble Wide 6.

The number one trick to easily changing tires is wetting the tire rim part. You aced it.

@johnarmstrong5953 5 лет назад

I appreciate this video but if I learned anything from trying to do my mower tires myself last time it is that I would be happy to pay a tire shop to do it next time no matter what the price. And I am the type that absolutely HATES paying someone else for doing anything I think I can do myself...

@beastinahalfmode 5 лет назад

Know this is an old video, but for anyone curious. This would've been a fair bit easier had the tire been warmed up before installation. Either set it out in the sun for a good 30+ minutes, or use whatever you have to heat it up. It will make it far more elastic and if your tire is warped, like this one was, it will fall back into its intended shape on top of becoming more elastic.

@macmorgan6685 6 лет назад

Great videos! Not sure you mentioned it but the rim has a “drop- center” that you use when dis-mounting/mounting the tire. Place the tire bead in the drop center and then the opposite side of the bead can be easily slip over the wheel rim.

@jonb5817 3 года назад

You da man! Been a snake. . . . . Thanks!

@dkeith45 2 года назад

Yup. Found that out the hard way. This is especially the case if it's a deep set rim that has a deep side and a shallow side. That 'drop center' you mention is on the shallow side of the rim and the tire can only be removed and reinstalled from that shallow side.

@thelonewolf267 5 лет назад

Bloody effing hell where was this video a week or so ago when I changed my exmark tires!!!

@9251finley1 Год назад

Thanks for posting that video. I was struggling get the last part of the tire on. When I followed the different way you stacked the nylon spacer and the disc I was able to get the tire on.

@robertsprouse8237 5 лет назад

I used this yesterday and it kick my ass.The bead breaker works great and getting the tire off was all right. Putting the tire on was another story. Getting the first part was good. But to get the last bead on was difficult I try your set up I have 20x12-10 tire and could not secure the rim done . I ended up putting on ground and work it around what a pain in the ass. But I got it done.

@hectortrejo8548 6 месяцев назад

Great video!!! Just what I needed to replace the tires on my John Deere!!! Thank you!!

@michaelroebuck4828 6 лет назад

I always mark where the valve stem is on the tire. I have had locust thorns break off and you not find them feeling around the tire. With stem marked, you can find the hole and make sure you get the piece our and not have to patch it again. I do love the video, I will definitely use the bolt next time instead of holding the tire or breaking it down while still on the tractor.

@thostube13 2 года назад

Wish I seen this video before replacing the front tires on my tractor. Would have gone more smoothly if I had used the cone shaped spacer the way you did. Helps to keep the tool in place under the tire bead when installing. Thanks for posting.

@edconnor6697 5 месяцев назад

Thank you. I have the same tool. i could not get the second bead on. Putting the removal/install tool under the cone is key! thanks again!!

@boat6868 6 лет назад

@paulbillings1791 5 лет назад

By entering the tire size on Amazon,you can find good deals on a set of two and quite a few brands are 4 ply and haven't been "strapped" meaning they aren't squashed when they arrive. It makes replacement waaaaay easier.

@rebeltaz123 3 года назад

Dude! I know this is an old video, but that is so much easier to do with a couple of tire spoons with the wheel on the floor. I just did three today in the shop without working as hard as you did! Now, I do have a full sized titre changer that I use to break the bead, but still....

Tires are crazy...so simple, but a real tough install sometimes. I love this little machine for small tires...it's hard to beat the price, especially if you change more than a couple of tires a year or if you have neighbors who don't mind buying the beer to watch you change their's. :>)

@Jeremy-iv9bc 4 года назад

Ha I'm going to have to get one of these. I did find out it's easier if you install them from the front side of the rim because the front side of the rim is a lot smaller than the back side.

Use a small block of wood for leverage , that stem should come out a lot easier. And I've used my valve stem Puller for Installing and......Removing, Works fine. Also used diagonal cutters to remove them, up to your preference.

@dukenukem5768 5 лет назад

Don't think I'm as strong as you but I change my tyres with three old-fashioned tyre levers. If needs be, I break the bead by laying the wheel on the ground, placing a strong plank on the sidewall, and drive a car onto it.

@thenexthobby Год назад

Putting the aluminum wedge on top of the bar like that was the key to me being able to start it and I got it halfway ... however the tire would not continue without additional use of a tire spoon. The instruction manual from Harbor Freight is mostly worthless, and this video is now the 3rd variation I've seen. Bottom line: Put it together anyway you want that works for you.

@muffs55mercury61 Год назад

Thanks man, I have one these mini installer but I could figure out what is proper way to use it, great post. I am putting tube in my front wheel, I always have problem with slow leaks.

@1575murray 3 года назад

Mounting snowblower and other small low pressure tires have their own challenges due to their width and small diameter as opposed to car and truck tires. Be aware that they are low pressure tires and don't use too much air pressure when trying to seat the bead as that could cause the tire to explode. Liberal amounts of soap and water can make this job easier.

@nighthawkj30A4 4 года назад

So this will work for Gokart rims as well?

@sidrojoe Месяц назад

Spraying soapy water insures a rusty hub inside, instead, use penetrating oil, it lubricates better, and won't rust inside the hub

@peterpiper6914 3 года назад

Try that on a 40 year old Wheel Horse spent two days just trying to break the bead another day spending grinding the rust and painting the wheels inside and out

@henrysmith8012 2 года назад

Clamp a pair of Vise grips on the rim when installing tire to hold tire down and stop it from walking around rim.

@douglascorley5887 6 лет назад

What I use is a bumper Jack from the 70s put the back side around the rim put it in the hole on your bumper on your car Jack your car halfway off the ground a rim that's been on for 20 years will break down

@marksalamack6133 5 лет назад

Good video, but that tire did go on easier than they usually do...sometimes you have to use a vise grip to grab the rim to stop the tire from following the mounting bar.around .....and it works better if it is bolted down to a steel plate or pretty good sized piece of thick wood..that way you can work on it at table height or put it on the ground...some tires get very balky and yo have to try different work heights to get it to cooperate.....it is easier to just use a utility knife or a razor to remove the old valve

@georgesimpson3113 4 года назад

just cut the stem off... and I guess I've been lucky. Can't remember who showed me - he was very old and I was very young. I just stand on the tire to break the bead and to reinstall the new tire I use two tire irons/spoons. Put the new tires in the sun for a few hours to get them back into shape. I've never bought tires and didn't have them squished. When they are squished they are hard to seat the bead. But - Good vid!
