I spent 4 hours today TRYING to remove a 275-65-20 from an alloy rim without the HF tire machine... I failed... I'm really tempted to get one of them...
UPDATE: I got a HF tire machine and although it was eventually *possible* to remove the 275-65-20 from the alloy rim, it was a rather difficult and long endeavor... Ended up being able to do 2 of them in one (long) evening, but then ended up taking a couple of days to recover... Getting old sucks...
@@robobrien6967 -- I found that if you take a small piece of sched-40 PVC pipe and heat it up with a heat gun, you can make it fit over the fins of the part of the unit that screws down onto the top of the wheel... With 1/2" PVC, it takes a little bit of stretching, but with 3/4", not so much...

Making this little attachment was the best idea I had believe me
