The things I hate a mechanic to do for me - engine oil change, transmission fluid change, transmission replacement, brakes, rotors, suspension (ball joints tire rods, axels), tune-ups, lights, and electronics fix exhaust work (any), tires, radio and stereo work, hybrid batt, batt replacement, AC work, tire balance, alignment and any other work that would require me to pay them for their crappy work. I do all work on all brands I got myself - that is why they all have over 200K miles on them and still running flawlessness.
Just a little tip from a tire tech. Take the tire off with the valve stem under the duck head and put it on with the valve stem across from the duck head. older Ford vehicles will have TPMS sensors opposite the valve stem attached to with a band clamp you want to reverse the instructions for wheels with those. Personally I always break the bead either with the valve stem pointing to the sky or to the ground to account for any kind of sensors.
Hey just a tip. I always start and end with my tpms sensor near the duck bill. when I begin I put it just on the counter clock side of it that way you can make sure the bead comes off by the sensor first so you dont accidentally damage it
You forgot to change the valve stem and you got to clean the bottom and top of the rim because grim gets build up in those areas and if you leave that sometimes you will get leaks then add the grease on the rim and tiers like you did.
Hey just so you know you need to dismount the tire with the tpm sensor under the duck head and mount the tire with the sensor across from the duck head to avoid the possibility of breaking the sensor.
for breaking the bead, keep the tpms sensor north to south, or directly opposite where you are trying to break the bead. this prevents any chance of damaging the sensor. some early tpms sensor model cars had sensors actually oppositte the valve stem, held on via band clamp. do your research for early model tpms sensor cars.
Hi, do you have a link of the duck head that you used? I have the same machine, but the stock duck head don't have a slot to put the tool you used in the video to hold the tire down when mounting the tire.
Good video. Thinking about purchasing one as well. Any issues so far? Recommend clamping from the inside for most wheels so you don't have to disengage clamp during airing up tire. Were you able to get the additional arms for the low profile tires? if not, I would just use another tire iron when dismounting tires.
Pretty sure if your tires only have a yellow dot then yes, line it up with the valve stem. If your tires have both a yellow dot and a red dot then the red dot takes priority and you align red with the valve stem.

Very well explained and shot. Thanks!

thankyou very helpfull video I did order the machine with the helper arms great info
NICE!!! Been waiting for a while to buy me one of these... thank you for the video!
Awesome video ever 😍 continue to make more videos like this one
Excellent video! Like how you went straight to simplifying how the balancer is performed. Been wonder since dawn of time.
Thanks for the video great job

great video. if you don't mind may I ask you a question. is this thing electric or air operated? thank you
