The shocks fits u need to jack up the rear end slightly

Thanks! I’m curious about the changer itself. The HF changers that I’ve seen have a different base than yours. I like the solid base that you have vs the cross style that is usually shown on the HF site. Did you get the changer somewhere else? The mods are great!

I have plenty of Harbor Freight stuff but this tire changer is borderline junk. As others have noted here, the bead breaker piece is ridiculously flimsy. I destroyed mine today - you will, too, if you do enough tire changing. I fabricated an entirely new piece using 1/8-inch square tubing and heavy flat stock, and it is now so much stronger that something else will break before it does. Harbor Freight can do better.

In case anybody is wondering there are guys that make duck head add on KITS so you don't have to scrounge all this stuff up. There is a usa made kit out of texas for 115 bucks. Good video. I like to research stuff like this AFTER I get done with a big job and wish I would have had this tool. I just did the tires on my trailer old school with just two 20" tire levers.

No I had the same problem with the bead breaker mine went S shaped had to beat it straight and weld angle iron in as well

Duckhead

That pump causes a air leak .its pulling air into the motor where the bronze filter is on the pump.

You sir, are a genius !

I think I know where the scratching comes from. On a professional tire machine the duck bill barely hovers over the rim and never touches it while you were prying the tire over the rim. If only there was a way to do that I think you’d be OK

Putting blocks under the wheel will help break the bead. The higher your lever the more leverage. A 4x4 would probably work good.

Kinda useless video. No need for all that. Plus, you don't show anything. And that's why mechanics shouldn't do lighting and headlights, and body work. Truly, they have no clue. Plus, the LEDs you install are extremely poor quality, not centered properly, not a good beam pattern. Stick to alternators, radiators, pumps, etc. Lighting is not your thing. Cheers!

Buy a beadbuster tool.....I have a harbour freight tire changer too....I don't even use the bead buster on the tire machine ....beadbuster way to go....

Hi. How do you balance tire?

Who is slashing your side walls?

Do like your idea that, you put a larger plate on the bottom of your tire changer. Good one brother.

Dam bro that's a 1000 dollar engine right there I wonder if it actually lasts longer then a pred or da tilly I know my ducar has lasted me 3years of heavy cruizin can't complain but I always wanted a real honda engine looks cherry💯

Good Stuff homez love the front wheel 💪🏼💯💨💨💨

So cool

Go power sports should have everything you need

Change the gearing and it will go way faster, sick build man im working on mine!

Working on mine, can't wait

I’ve just purchased the duck bill set up made in Texas for $140

Nice. I want to get my sensors in but I really don’t know how I’m going to mount them. I need to just get down and do it. Cool install.

Hello, can you tell me the thread with which the rim is attached? Greetings Matthias

CZcams algorithm removed my comment as going against community guidelines??? I just said that cones are available on Amazon for $20. I ordered the larger one, and was shipped the smaller 3", but got a refund. Not sure if I can use the smaller cone. The 4.4" should arrive shortly. (will CZcams ban me for this?) I wish CZcams would provide the 'reason'. I did not even know it was the comment in here, other than I wanted to edit a question, which I now have the answer to.

Oh, damn! Just realized that's an OG focus! Dope. I gotta contour svt and an 18 ST.

That looks like a bad idea on the back... has the sensor gotten ripped off yet? Shoulda put the sensor on the top.

If you excite her, she will be plenty moist for you!

I'd say you snatched that lever just a bit too retard, I mean hard. 😅

Looks like the cylinder has been bored and new piston/rings are for stock cylinder.

If the cylinder is only lightly scored, a light hone is fine.

I will make a cone ; with pipe, (go over the vertical shaft - screw on from top ) and 4 triangle shaped 1/4 plates of steel, welded to it. LIKE the older Coats tire machines. 70 $ can buy alot of steel.....

2:15 time....Atta boy ' weld on '.....! Most modern ' designs ' ....ESPECIALLY those from ' el cheapo ' china ; ARE NOT FIELD TESTED, after the initial design. Engineers, are not ' hands on ' people, any more. MODIFY most mechanical stuff, from China. I have to.....and so does alot of other DIYers. oh well ; now that we know, let us get on with the video....thanks, Mr Compound ! (that de-breaker, nees another plate, at the leverage point, to increase force. Like a tree lopper , branch cutter idea.....Look at a very old Coats tire machine. The pole type, not the 10 10 or 20 20......for idea....

No lube makes for a tighter fit

Cool truck

You mounted the tire in the wrong direction.. I mean you were going in the wrong direction

Thanks for the information.

Prendan los direccionales para ver si continuan encendidas ambas luces

the duckbill attachment is the key to this device. i use it almost daily and the duckbill, even though twice the price of the mount, is the must have. i want the center mount next cuz that cross pattern thing scratches the hell out of rims.

Nice work

good try but a closer shot of what the tire and duckbill was doing would have helped alot more. ill checkout another vid

Who the hell designed a car where changing lightbulbs needs this much work?

Wow, $45 for a used tire? Around here the resellers think they're made of gold, and they cost almost as much as a new tire.

Bought a Mojo lever works great on any tire car motorcycle

Weld you a T handle on the duckbill adjustment bolt so you don’t need the wrench anymore. Just a thought

you can literally make anything better if you own a TIG or MIG welder... 😋 j/s

Your wife will love it when you do the dishes too

Another Sled

You probably should of just built you're own with all those mods lol

If you're interested in alternate bead breakers look into a Beadbuster XB-455. It's a 2-step tiny device that first clamps onto the wheel rim and second pushes the tire bead off. I do my own 4x4 35" tire changes because shops won't work on my beadlock wheels. Tried a lot of methods to break the back bead and the 455 is 10x easier than anything else I tried. There are videos on YT showing how it works. I have no connection to Beadbuster -- just a happy customer.
