Tire Changer

So I see this link, decide to youtube tire changing, and it doesn't look half as hard as I expected, but.... It almost seems like changing a tire by hand is as easy as using this machine? This machine makes it almost look tougher because you lose leverage. ?

Edit: I also read that HF stopped selling the motorcycle tire kit for this machine.
 
No offence,but that looks like junk.I might use it for dirt bike tires or something,but for the 15 bucks my shop charges for mount and balance for a tire...

I wouldn't waste my time or 35 bucks.

I'm guessing the instructions for "breaking the bead" include pounding it with a large hammer.:rofl:

Plus yer gonna need a decent compressor to seat the bead for the new skin.

Then after mounting,it will need to be balanced.You could use the ol' spin the tire on the pipe trick.:poke:

Just my 2 cents...and no,I cant make change.:laugh:

RSD.
