Get you one of them air tanks that have a quick valve that blast they are into the bead their fun in there and they work great impress your friends have a good day and thanks for the good video
@@ejhbritishcars6907 they do work great even on a front tractor tires or something like that that comes off the bead then it's hard to deal with Andy can use it for an air tank too
You have this right idea bolting it down. Mines bolted down with anchors that sit below the surface. I simply unbolt and store in a corner when not in use. Ive mounted dozens of tires on mine and it saves so much time compared with having to deal with a tire shop. There is a learning curve to the mounting end of the bar, one well worth getting past. A duck bill mod is best really, it saves rims and lets you work with nice alloys.
I have considered the duckbill upgrade but have not purchased one yet. I have been working with old steel wheels as of late, so there is no need at this time. Thanks for watching.
Very true, it was a bit of a struggle. I have sone some " normal" aized tires since, and it worked well. I have pisted an update about it if you are interested. Thanks for watching.
A ratchet strap around the tire with just a bit of tension, don't need much, will hold the tire enough to fill it with air and set the bead. If you tighten the strap too much, the tire will buckle and fold and you'll hear a massive leak.

@@ejhbritishcars6907while you had the air chuck filling and pulling up on second bead, try having someone go around bead with leaf blower (basically high volume low pressure air to overcome leakage) good luck 👍
I wanted one of these then I saw some guys on here seat stubborn beads with a bicycle inner tube. I keep the bike tire inner tube rolled up in the back of a tool box drawer.
@@tcmits3699 Never thought of this but I’ll try it next time im seating a stubborn bead. My parlor trick is to remove the valve core and inflate with a narrow tapered blow gun. Be aware it’s possible to put over 70psi in a tire with the blow gun.
Easy dawn dish liquid what we use works every time. Use one lap around each side close to the rim, and tire goes right on, and dawn drys, creating a good seal.
@@ejhbritishcars6907 Still wasn't enough pull the tire out away from the machine so it's pushing at an angle into the steel rim and bead of the tire, and not on the sidewall.

I saw one of these advertised recently. It does look like it would work.

I will have to look into it.
pretty good considering the manual says not for use with wheels larger than 16”

I tried that, but the sidewalls were too stiff for it to be effective. Thanks for watching.
heres one of my secrets put a ratch strap around the outer diameter ratch it up and it helps alot with setting the tire.
I tried that using a rope and a bar to tighten, no go. The tire is very stiff, and the sidewalls hardly flex at all

Looks interesting. I will have to research it a bit.

The problem with dish washing liquid is that it has salt in it and can rust the bead area of the rim. Thanks for watching.
I don't change many tires, so for me, it's worth having a tire shop do it.
I would too if I did not have a good balancer. Plus I wind up putting junk tires on rims just to able to move cars around easily.
THE ORANGE ONE WOULD BE PERFECT FOR ME AT HOME
I find it quite handy. I have used it several times now and saved myself a bunch of money.
It is designed for 16in tires really.
Yes, the wife's Caddy tires are a bit large for it. I will be changing some 15" tires soon, and I expect it will be much easier. Thanks for watching.
you are to close to tire machine braking the bead
That isctrue in the intro picture, but I did move it further away so that the rim was against the vuilt in stop.

My separate bead breaker works much better than the one on the machine, so I have been using that. Thanks for watching.
