Glad I could make you laugh, Thanks for watching.

@2002horseman 10 месяцев назад

Good to see you sir. Thanks for another great video!

@Michaelinthebackyard 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for watching!

@TheNockingPoint 10 месяцев назад

I have been thinking about one of these tire apparatuses. Mostly for trailer tires.

@TheNockingPoint 10 месяцев назад

Taught our son how to use our antique bead breaker. It takes the two of us to hold the tire in place so it does not slip out. Spoons and Hammer removal. A couple of rims ended up with dings while he was learning.

@Michaelinthebackyard 10 месяцев назад

It's worth it just as another hand to hold the rim in place for sure, thanks for watching

@darylhaack7752 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for posting. It did look frustrating watching it, and l am no tire changer guy. Cheers

@Michaelinthebackyard 7 месяцев назад

Glad you enjoyed it, it's always fun to learn something new.

Thanks to Col. Sanders brother.

You're suppose to put that bar on the wheel first. And then put the tire on the rim and then put the tire on as much as you can, then swing the bar around to complete the install!

@Michaelinthebackyard 2 месяца назад

ummm, yep, thanks for watching

@hobyjackson9542 7 месяцев назад

Clamp a pair of vise grips on the rim instead of the little tire iron to keep the bead from slipping back off. If you have trouble getting the bead to seat take the valve core out and use a blow gun instead of the tire chuck.

@Michaelinthebackyard 7 месяцев назад

That's a great idea, thanks for watching

If you're going to be doing more tires consider addind the duck bill conversion for this changer. Lots of videos on this conversion

@Michaelinthebackyard 2 месяца назад

I'm for sure going to have to do that. Thanks for watching

@heavy_haul_n_fool4035 3 месяца назад

Not me bout to change my boat tires looking up this vid 😂

@Michaelinthebackyard 2 месяца назад

It's really not that bad once you get the hang of it, thanks for watching

@2steelshells 2 месяца назад

Drop center, is your target sir!

@Dartguy340 2 месяца назад

You need to make sure that when the tire is going on the wheel, that the tire is in the smallest area of the inside of the wheel.

@Michaelinthebackyard 2 месяца назад

Yep, your are correct.

@garymahon1955 6 месяцев назад

I just bought one last week, and need to mount it on plywood or a pallet. IM in 70th yr, and it wont be easy, i can tell. with big P235/75/15 tires. Thank you very much for your honest video!

@Michaelinthebackyard 6 месяцев назад

it's a wrestling match but better than on the ground, thanks for watching

@goldwingconepatterns2565 9 месяцев назад

I am guessing the opposite bead was not in the drop centre of the rim? I'll be where you are in a few weeks.

@goldwingconepatterns2565 9 месяцев назад

A few have suggested leaving the valve core out while airing up to seat the bead. The thought is it the valve may be restricting flow when you need it most.

@Michaelinthebackyard 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for the tip, thanks for watching

@TheTommyvercetti6 5 месяцев назад

I have used that tire for all of my tires and not one time ever Successfully used that other end.

@Michaelinthebackyard 2 месяца назад

Good to know, thanks for watching

@johnruppe1699 10 месяцев назад

Is it possible to mount the tire with the pretty painted side down so you’re prying on the back side? Then flip it to air it up?

@Michaelinthebackyard 7 месяцев назад

I suppose you could, thanks for watching

@bobrossi1185 9 месяцев назад

Well at least you are smarter than most videos that guy's dont mount it down to concrete. Lol

@Michaelinthebackyard 7 месяцев назад

I try my best, thanks for watching

@TheNockingPoint 10 месяцев назад

As my dad would always say. "it's only flat on the bottom"

@Michaelinthebackyard 10 месяцев назад

So true, thanks for watching

@emmettturner9452 10 месяцев назад

“Don’t make me go watch a video” Unfortunately, most videos get the mount head wrong too. :( It’s a shame, since the instructions are no help either. No pictures, no explanation, no nothing. Definitely not laughing! “Seems counter-intuitive” Yeah, the bead has to stay above the rim when it crosses the mount head which basically stretched a small portion past the edge of the rim so that it can fall down below on the trailing side. You have to manually force bead down on the trailing side before you start so that it is tight enough to pull the trailing bead down as you work the mount head. It’s like a tire spoon taking one continuous bite!

@Michaelinthebackyard 10 месяцев назад

You are so right, I'm getting it figured out, mounted two more tires since this video, it's getting a little easier, thanks for watching

@partsdave8943 10 месяцев назад

You could mask off the tires and touch up the paint.

@Michaelinthebackyard 10 месяцев назад

for sure, thanks for watching

@curtbrown9702 10 месяцев назад

This was fun. I know your pain. Now do it on a bench without a tire change tool. Now that is fun. The only difference is even the devil would leave the room after i bitch out the tires.

@Michaelinthebackyard 7 месяцев назад

I hear ya brother, thanks for watching

@garymahon1955 6 месяцев назад

At 69yo, i can see it will be a lot of blood, sweat and tears ahead when i try mine

@Michaelinthebackyard 6 месяцев назад

You can do it. Thanks for watching

@timconklin8489 10 месяцев назад

Well that was different, I am thinking that the other side of the long arm tool needed be mounted a differently to make it easier to mount the tire. I understand why you got the manual tire changer to save money, it gets expensive having tires mounted. Keep up the great work. Thank, Tim

@Michaelinthebackyard 10 месяцев назад

I have mounted two more tires since then and I'm starting to get the hang of it, thanks for watching

@tombruce6398 8 месяцев назад

Ioosen lug nuts then jack it up

@Michaelinthebackyard 7 месяцев назад

yes sir, thanks for watching

@Dartguy340 2 месяца назад

Use some common sense! You are not even making sure that the left side of the tire is in the center of the wheel while you are trying to put it on!

@Michaelinthebackyard 2 месяца назад

Woah, this guy comes out swinging. It's been a couple of months since this video came out and I may have learned a few things since then, and yes you are correct in saying the opposite side of the tire you are prying on needs to get deeper towards the center of the rim. Common sense is not so common, I see it everyday, thanks for watching

@TheNockingPoint 10 месяцев назад

You should have watched the video. But it would not have been as entertaining.

some folks go modify these. Looks like a whole lot more than I want to get into. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3-FNEku09Rs.htmlsi=xAG03SYDy0gLPQTF

Can't wait to see how you modify yours.

My struggles are pretty real sometimes, thanks for watching
