Ok guys I finally got to use this thing and I wasn't really impressed. Sure all the videos show it going easy with lawn mower tires, but I guess atv tires are a different story. Took me about 4-5 hours today to remove 6 tires. The first one prob took me an hour. I ended up getting a 2' pipe to put on the handle of the bead breaker and consequently bent the flat end of the bead breaker, also bent the all thread rod in the center slightly. All on the first tire, a 18x7x7 cheng shin. I figured out it helps to work around the tire shoving in what ever you can to help hold it away from the rim. I also figured out that after you get the top bead off the rim, you use the removal tool as suggested to get the bottom bead started and then stick a tire iron in from outside, and then switch the removal tool to the outside. It works much easier as the top half of the tire doesn't get in your way. Also I used windex for a lubricant as per the instructions. After I got those 2 it was on to some 22x11x8 kenda's. I think I had both of those off in 30 minutes. Beads popped right off no problems. By then the top of the rubber where the rim sits was already getting torn up. So I was on to my last 2, 20x11x10 holeshots. These were a bit of a problem as the rims have a large hole in the center, that was the sime size as the part the tire rest on, on the changer. So it tried a piece of plywood to make up the difference, which I promptly crushed. So next was a skill saw blade, which worked, but was mangled by the end of the process. These tires were just as hard, if not harder than the first 2. Actually when I started on the last tire, I was trying to break the bead and I heard something pop. Tried a few more times and it kept doing it. Thats when I figured out that the center rod came lose. It was threaded and glued into the aluminum base, but the wasn't good enough. So then I went looking for a new piece of all-thread, which I couldn't find because it was 9/16. So I ended up buying a 9/16 drill bit and a nut. I have 10, 1/2" bits and every size under but not 9/16 for metal. I drilled the last 1/2 inch of the base, because the threads for the rod didn't go all the way through. Threaded the rod through and into the nut underneath. It worked to get that last tire done. The rubber piece on top of the tire changer is pretty much shot now though. Hopefully in the next week or 2 I'll be changing the tires on my daughters little china quad, so I'll find out how it works putting tires on.
