Well, it only handles rims as small as 10 inch. Anything smaller I have to do by hand. Atleast I can break the beads with it still.

i mean its hard for us guys with out a bead breaker lol. i tried and tried to get my sand tires off my gold rims and finall broke out the sawsall and cut them off even that was a bitch. when i finally quit moving around a simple tire machinw will be in my shop. And i mean shop not garage!! lol
 
just take a 2x4 and put it on the sidewall of the tire and then drive a car/ truck onto it to pop the bead. works for all tires in my experience! (which isnt much lol)

So do I.. I have a 2" round steel post cemented into the ground in my backyard. It works great for pull'n the tires from the rim.
I don't need any straps to seat the bead either.. Thats what they make ether for!
Or is it? I can't remember what is actual use is anymore... lol
 
I don't even use that. Just need a piece of cardboard to put the wheel on (and to kneel on), then it's just a tire spoon and a pry bar. Takes me about ten minutes to take one off and put one on. I just leave the valve core out, and use the air hose on the tire machine to seat the beads.

well at least you know you dont have much. I broke 2 2x4's trying to do mine that way. It's hit or miss but those tires were on there for a long time and they never had any lube on the beads. They were junk so it was no big deal to cut them off. I'm not in the business in buying and storing tires anyway. lol

I've stacked 3 boards up, and had the full weight of a 1500 Chev on the tire. I had to get out, and jump on the bumper before the bead finally popped. Sometimes they don't give up to easy. lol
 
I work at a tire shop but I have a hand powered tire machine I bought off cl. Works great on anything like trailer and quad rims. For $20 it saved me on weekends I was off work
 
A spring leaf from off a pickup works best for me, kinda sharp so u can stick it between the rim and tire then pull a vehicle on it kapow !! ur done
 
Hopefully finished with the Hid lights, so far 1 working on dim 2 on high...... I also have most of the body back on just need some stickers, a battery, and a new seat or atleast the foam and a cover..
