Very well explained for the layman, When the steel bar drops on his toes he will appreciate the use of steel capped boots. Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Nice to see the explanation on the drop center and showing the cut version of the Tyre for better understanding. When replacing my first Tyre it taken over an hour and i bent my bar a lot of swearing and sweating cuss I did not know where I was going wrong at first.
I wrestled with this machine the first 2 tires then I actually started watching these vids! Now I can do a tire in about 10 minutes. Great explanation and I love the rubber pads, next on my list! You will scratch the heck out of an AL rim doing this in the machines stock form, your plastics and rubber are perfect. I will admit that I still use 1 tire iron even with this setup.
Excellent Video with top class commentary,,no fluff..great stuff..My way of breaking a tyre from the rim was to put the tyre under the rear wheel of my pickup truck and reverse over it.That was in Canada .But here in the UK tyres are so cheap its not worth the effort.
I like your videos.. They are very clear and easy to understand. You have that kind of robotic sound to your voice and that fits these type of instructions well. Keep it up
Best explanation ever.....I have been changing my tires forever, but I never did put atención to the drop center, that explain why it always took me forever to replace one freaking tire🤔
My first tire, many years ago. Served to use all the foul language I could get my hands on! The amount of sweat alone, would challenge any fashionable Hollywood training program! LOL 😂 I wish someone had teach me that "small" detail beforehand! Useless to say by the third tire I had a very good grasp of the concept of a wheel drop center! ;-)
👌😍well done review & set up of a tire on a tire changer machine - it's highly technical with its important key elements regarding the subject - very appreciated 👍👍👍👍👍
I have a HFT manual tire changer. I enjoy DIY automotive maintenance. After seeing a plethora of TH-cam videos about modifications to it, and after many frustrating attempts at using the damned thing, I decided to just scrap the damned thing and use some hand tools that get the job done much easier on just a flat surface or desktop (or even theoretically changing a tire without removing the rim from the axle): 1. AME 71600 "Little Buddy" manual bead breaker. 2. Tire Bead Clamp Drop Center Tool (total of four clamps works best) 3. Tire levers (from HFT, total of 3 levers works best) 4. "BeadBuster" Tire Mounting paste (works better than liquid stuff or dish soap) 5. Thin plastic rollable kitchen Cutting Board (cut to 2-inch strips to protect rim from tire levers) 6. 5-gallon Air Tire Bead Seater Blaster Tool. The key to ease and success is to take advantage of the "drop center" area of a rim. The bead clamps ensure this gets done by pressing the bead down into the drop center area. Then the job is easily done by prying the bead one lever at a time, one inch at a time, until it seats completely. The air blaster tool works perfectly for thick ply truck or Special Trailer tires that are too stiff to simultaneously grab both sides of the rim surfaces, forcing the tire bead to contact the rim and seal up nicely. I save a lot of money from the investment of these tools and doing my own tire changes, because I have a fleet of 12 vehicles in my household and I enjoy online ordering from Amazon or TireRack for my tires. My next investment, after I get my next Stimulus Check, is an electronic tire balancer, just like at the pro tire shop, because the HFT manual balancer is not precise enough for the fastest cars in my fleet.
Well worth the investment. If you value your time waiting at a tire shop or dropping it off for service later that day. Many times I've encountered problems with the install or legal issues due to age of the tires. I'll happily do the work myself to avoid the conflict and wasted time.
Thank you. Theres another video on yt of some "tire engineer" doing a change, that idiot works for kenda tires and doesn't even understand or explain the importance of the drop center. Your video crushes his.
I need to make that bar. Could you please give detail specs on the measurements and materials? I can see it, but getting it right is another matter. Thank you for a good video.
Tip: Remove the paint and polish the mount/dismount tips of the bar. Fine grades of sand paper and oil will do the trick just fine! ;-) Even this cheap Chinese tool will perform flawlessly with that done! Surely there's no need for plastic "bits and bobs".
Good video. Most folks don't know about the drop center. Also you know this, but there is only one correct side to remove the tire, as the drop center is typically not centered on the rim. At least in modern wheels it's not. I like that paste lube your using, as it leaves very little water vapor, which accelerates the corrosion of aluminum rims. That whole nitrogen thing is wasted if there is water vapor inside the tire. I've not seen that lube available in the states. I typically use a bar of soap, rub it on dry, and that works very well. But I do see micro bubbles and your sealant would be a good thing as it's not messy.

I'm not too worried about scratching rims, but I did my own modifications. I welded some old bolts to the bead breaker to make it more sturdy, on tough beads it will bend and slip off. And the holes where the pins go through I welded some washers to make them stronger. Also the pipe that holds the bead breaker is slighty too long and needs grinded down. Works so much better now, If I get a new one, It'll be the first thing I do.

If you don't want to scratch the edge of the rim's outside, isn't it possible to turn the rim with the outside pointing downwards? Then you'll work on the backside and any scratches will notice.
The mounting device has a lot of friction with the rubber, which is why it offers a lot of resistance when riding it in the ring. El dispositivo de montar, tiene mucho roce con el caucho, por eso es que ofrece mucha resistencia al suncharlo en el ring.
The tire changer was purchased in Canada. Princess Auto, Harbor Freight, Northern Tools, and many more sell the very same changer, different color. I will do a separate video about the bar, but really there is nothing to it. What you can't see on the video is that the plastic prongs are reinforced by steel inserts.
@@robertdeptula2003 Yes, I'm also in Canada and have seen the tire changer at Princess Auto. I really like your bar, very similar to the no mar bar in design (which is very expensive to import with shipping and taxes from the US). I need to make a bar as I have an old tire changer but need the demount / mount bar. If possible, could you dm me some pictures of your bar? If not, I look forward to the video and thanks for the reply.
That machine from Harbor Freight was the machine that used 40 years ago except the bead breaker was mounted to the wall in with hydraulic for those tires that don't like to come off
I've heard of this, "tire blowing up" thing. What exactly happens? I need to do this, but would like to try it by hand as I've seen in other videos. Don't wanting a tire blowing up though, where is the danger? Good video.
If the rubber is not damaged, cut or torn, and if you put the right size tire on the right size rim, then everything should be OK. Do not over inflate the tire.
The best way to prevent damage to the tires is to use proper technics! In all honesty there's no work around from it! Do it right and the probabilities of a miss happening, like blowing a tire basically vanish. The always and the never tips: - ALWAYS inspect a tire before assembly, even a new one! If lacking knowledge at least apply liberal amounts of very rare common sense! LOL 😂 - ALWAYS lube the tire, rim and eventually the tool tip! More on this in a second. - NEVER overinflate a tire! If you feel the need to do it. To seat a bead, etc. Please understand you're doing it WRONG. So step back and start it over again. ;-) About lube, the subject was not properly covered. On this otherwise very good video. But keep in mind ALL tires should be lubed in three (3) areas! Remember this number. They are respectively, both outer beads. AND the upper inner bead facing down (facing the rim)! This last one is probably the most underrated detail... Now let's talk about lube the RIM. Also three (3) areas! Upper outer lip AND both bead seats. With this properly done, pretty much all tires will be really easy to do. BTW it's worth mention, that it's much faster to do it, than write these details! Becomes a second nature. This week alone I set a few tires on steel rims and alloy rims. Some, even on the steel rims, seat the beads with as low pressure as 10~12 psi! The type of lube also play a roll. These very low pressures were accomplished with "hair spray" used as lube! Yes, normal (cheap) hair spray the ladies use to fix the hair. Exactly the same tires and rims set. assembled with soap, saw the pressure increase to around 25~30 psi. Both using the same lube technic as described above. Cheers
I saw another video where in the comments someone said the coloured dots, (yellow/red) printed on the tyres were meant to go at a certain position. Something to do with it being the heaviest part of the tyre, so you put it opposite the valve. Wish I could remember. Just meant you didn't need as much weight when balancing it.
Yes, but not all tires are marked this way. Somebody else left a comment, under my balancing tires video, that he turns the tire on the rim to find the right spot that will require fewer weights. Just two weeks ago I changed two tires and during balancing turned one 3 X 90 deg and another just once. Made a significant difference in the weights required to balance. Thanks for your comment!
Why do people use lubricant to put a tire ON, but never use it to break the bead to get the tire off? I always lubricate around the tire bead if I'm trying to slide it past the bead. Otherwise, it just hangs up and make it more difficult to slip past. I've seen guys fight just to break a bead - on a completely dry tire! LOL! I'm like, "...whatever works for you, I guess."
Few years ago I bought it on line as a replacement part for different tire changer. Don't remember the name of the company. Can be easily done. A chunk of plastic can be bought at local supplier, same as the white plastic I bought for the changing bar.
Spray some kerosene before breaking the bead. Will make it so eazy you'd be scratching your head why you don't use kerosene for everything. Maybe for hydration too lol.
You should have been considering that there was a expensive sensor inside before you dismounted it or that you will check for the belt over lap and install it opposite of the valve stem to help aid in the balancing process and save shop on weights.
Hi könnten sie mir die genaue Bezeichnung sagen die verbessert haben ich möchte das gerne nachbauen hab die Maschine selbst komme nur mit den realen Werkzeug nicht weiter was ist zB die weissen Enden? Oder die Matten wo der reifen darauf gelegt wird?
The tire changer you can buy at Harbor Freight in US, Princess Auto in Canada and on line at Northern Tool. The modifications you have to do yourself using your imagination, and skills. Good luck!
It's kind of ironic / funny that all the countries that use the metric system and try to ridicule the US for sticking with the Imperial (actually "US Customary Units") system still have their wheel diameters measured in inches... :) I like the looks of those plastic ends on the tire changer lever though... I might have to try to make myself some of them...
It's kind of ironic / funny that at the Metre Convention in Paris, France on May 20th AD 1875 the US of A signed the Treaty of the Metre along with other countries. This means that the US of A recognizes the metric system as the standard of measurements and all its pounds, gallons, inches, etc. are metric-based and multiplied by conversion factors. Samples of the original units are held in the National Institute of Standards and Technology www.nist.gov/ This means, that the imperial system used in the US of A is based on the metric system (SI). Did you know this? www.nist.gov/system/files/documents/2017/05/09/frn-59-5442-1959.pdf
@@robertdeptula2003 -- I'm an engineer (retired)... I am well aware that there are exact conversion factors between the US and metric systems and that it is possible to derive many through the memorization of of a few base constants... For example, if you want to convert from liters to gallon EXACTLY, you just need to remember that there are 231 cu-in in a gallon, 1000 ml in a liter, and 1 cu-cm = 1 ml -- it gives you 3.785411784 liters per gallon EXACTLY. That's the US gallon, not the Imperial gallon... My impression from spending some time in the UK though was that they use a mix of metric and Imperial for various things. For example, road distances will be measured in miles and distances to a near highway exit in yard, but bridge clearances in meters... Most weights are quoted in kg, but people tend to quote their weight in stones and pounds... There is nothing magical about the metric system like uninformed proponents that you have you believe... It's just another arbitrary system of measurements, albeit with unit conversions based on powers of 10...

Few years ago I bought it on line as a replacement part for different tire changer. Don't remember the name of the company. Can be easily done. A chunk of plastic can be bought at local supplier, same as the white plastic I bought for the changing bar.
@@robertdeptula2003 Thank you, also what did you use for the wheel reducer piece?
What do you mean by wheel reducer piece?
@@robertdeptula2003 the black center piece that holds the wheel down? right below the 4 prong thingy.

Can anyone tell me why the tread width is in millimetres and the rim size is in inches?
To accommodate every system and stretch mind with math exercise.
Well done demonstration video. Thanks.
Thanks
Well done!!

И где купить такую штангу дв стороннюю?

Great video...just need balance the tire
Here it is: th-cam.com/video/dAM6lrBOHOQ/w-d-xo.html
Looks like your reducer is plastic is that correct ?
Yes, it is plastic reducer you can buy in plumbing section of any home improvement store.
И где купить такую штангу???
Spray some kerosene before breaking the bead.
Will make it so eazy you'd be scratching your head why you don't use kerosene for everything.
Maybe for hydration too lol.
You should have been considering that there was a expensive sensor inside before you dismounted it or that you will check for the belt over lap and install it opposite of the valve stem to help aid in the balancing process and save shop on weights.
How do you tell where the overlap is?
Hi,
Could you plz tell me the price of this manual machine.
Regards
For the changer, before modifications, I paid about 50 dollars before tax.

Well done 👍
Hi könnten sie mir die genaue Bezeichnung sagen die verbessert haben ich möchte das gerne nachbauen hab die Maschine selbst komme nur mit den realen Werkzeug nicht weiter was ist zB die weissen Enden? Oder die Matten wo der reifen darauf gelegt wird?
Weiße stifte sind aus HDPE, leicht zu formen. Die schwarzen Matten sind nur gummimatten.
Und was ist das schwarze Rohr ähnliche Teil das sie für den Abstand der Felgen einspannung nehmen?
Könnten sie mir ihre abziehstange mit den weißen stiften nachbauen und mir senden? Würde alle Kosten übernehmen am zoll
Dies ist eine PVC-rohrverbindung.
Das originalwerkzeug können sie hier kaufen:www.nomartirechanger.com/tc-mdbar.html
You sound just like Peter Finn. You may be from the same country.
Why can't you change an 18" wheel/tire with these low cost tire changers? Most of them say 16 or 16-1/2" maximum size.
All I have is 15 inches wheels.
Good Explanation
I looked on your video list but couldn't find how to make the bar.
There is nothing complicated about this bar. Stop the video, take a closer look and you will get the idea how it is done.
Good luck!
@@robertdeptula2003 what size pipe, please
Hey I need a used 15"car tire
I only have the other half of the tire if you are interested. :)

The tire changer you can buy at Harbor Freight in US, Princess Auto in Canada and on line at Northern Tool. The modifications you have to do yourself using your imagination, and skills. Good luck!

It's kind of ironic / funny that all the countries that use the metric system and try to ridicule the US for sticking with the Imperial (actually "US Customary Units") system still have their wheel diameters measured in inches... :)
I like the looks of those plastic ends on the tire changer lever though... I might have to try to make myself some of them...
It's kind of ironic / funny that at the Metre Convention in Paris, France on May 20th AD 1875 the US of A signed the Treaty of the Metre along with other countries. This means that the US of A recognizes the metric system as the standard of measurements and all its pounds, gallons, inches, etc. are metric-based and multiplied by conversion factors. Samples of the original units are held in the National Institute of Standards and Technology www.nist.gov/
This means, that the imperial system used in the US of A is based on the metric system (SI). Did you know this? www.nist.gov/system/files/documents/2017/05/09/frn-59-5442-1959.pdf
@@robertdeptula2003 -- I'm an engineer (retired)... I am well aware that there are exact conversion factors between the US and metric systems and that it is possible to derive many through the memorization of of a few base constants... For example, if you want to convert from liters to gallon EXACTLY, you just need to remember that there are 231 cu-in in a gallon, 1000 ml in a liter, and 1 cu-cm = 1 ml -- it gives you 3.785411784 liters per gallon EXACTLY. That's the US gallon, not the Imperial gallon... My impression from spending some time in the UK though was that they use a mix of metric and Imperial for various things. For example, road distances will be measured in miles and distances to a near highway exit in yard, but bridge clearances in meters... Most weights are quoted in kg, but people tend to quote their weight in stones and pounds... There is nothing magical about the metric system like uninformed proponents that you have you believe... It's just another arbitrary system of measurements, albeit with unit conversions based on powers of 10...
Hey this is Elijah McGaugh i need some 15" used car tires
needed to add a bit of soapy water before breaking that bead.

haha wearing socks and sandals. effing legend.
It's a fashion faux pas of the greatest magnitude to wear socks with open footwear. The real danger is not an injury to his foot, but to his reputation at prep school.
very good
