OH man i was haveing a cow. LOL i worked in a tire shop for 7 years. practace mounting some of the old tires. make shure the bead is in the rim well. you need all the slack you can git. your last try was right on track. keep at it and have fun.
Glad I could make you laugh, Thanks for watching.
I have been thinking about one of these tire apparatuses. Mostly for trailer tires.
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.
It's worth it just as another hand to hold the rim in place for sure, thanks for watching
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.
That's a great idea, thanks for watching
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.
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.
Thanks for the tip, thanks for watching
Thanks for posting. It did look frustrating watching it, and l am no tire changer guy.
Cheers
Glad you enjoyed it, it's always fun to learn something new.
If you're going to be doing more tires consider addind the duck bill conversion for this changer. Lots of videos on this conversion
I'm for sure going to have to do that. Thanks for watching
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!
ummm, yep, thanks for watching
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.
Yep, your are correct.
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?
I suppose you could, thanks for watching
Not me bout to change my boat tires looking up this vid 😂
It's really not that bad once you get the hang of it, thanks for watching
Drop center, is your target sir!
I have used that tire for all of my tires and not one time ever Successfully used that other end.
Good to know, thanks for watching
Good to see you sir. Thanks for another great video!
Thanks for watching!
“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!
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
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!
it's a wrestling match but better than on the ground, thanks for watching
Thanks to Col. Sanders brother.
Well at least you are smarter than most videos that guy's dont mount it down to concrete. Lol
I try my best, thanks for watching
As my dad would always say. "it's only flat on the bottom"
So true, thanks for watching
You could mask off the tires and touch up the paint.
for sure, thanks for watching
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.
I hear ya brother, thanks for watching
O M G🤣
Heck ya and LOL
At 69yo, i can see it will be a lot of blood, sweat and tears ahead when i try mine
You can do it. Thanks for watching
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
I have mounted two more tires since then and I'm starting to get the hang of it, thanks for watching
Ioosen lug nuts then jack it up
yes sir, thanks for watching
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!
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
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. ua-cam.com/video/3-FNEku09Rs/v-deo.htmlsi=xAG03SYDy0gLPQTF

Can't wait to see how you modify yours.
My struggles are pretty real sometimes, thanks for watching
