- Here I'm dismounting and mounting a tire with my Harbor Freight tire machine. With everything there and ready, I can dismount and mount a tire in about 10 minutes. Another 5 minutes or so to balance.
New balance video.

What the first thing you do when you get out of bed in the morning? Change a tire, or two.
lmfao
I just did today so yeah
Gotta get the tires unmounted after work so no one will steal them then remount in the morning to go back to work. Hood life.
This video blows me away. Ken Lee out here in an apartment parking lot or somewhere or 'nuther dismounting and mounting a tire, bead seated, proper pressure, ready to go in his jammies and bedroom slippers with one brief look at the camera, not a curse word or any excitement at all. Nobody else! I would have died of blood loss from my injuries from trying to do just that with my hard hat, steel toed boots, and face shield in place. White guy somewhere on youtube trying to do the same sweatin' and carryin' on got it done but bead not seated, no proper tire pressure and havin' a time! Where you live Ken Lee? I need to buy you a beer or somethin' for this great vid!
I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or if you really do like the video.
If the video helped you or gave you some good ideas or even if you just found it amusing, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
If you're being sarcastic or mean or something, that's OK too. You probably get some kind of satisfaction out of leaving negative comments, haha.
+Ken Lee I am not being sarcastic. When the video first started I was ready to really make a lot of sarcastic comments because of the way you were dressed and the temporary nature of the tire changer mounting on a pallet. But as it went on I became a big fan of yours. So it's all good. So your video really pumped me up. I was cheering for you at the end. I may have been exaggerating my own lack of ability but certainly not yours. I was praising your ability to do in your lounging clothes what I could not even do in my steeltoed boots. Your silence and low key attitude are to be praised. To me you are saying, "This is no big deal." And that is encouraging to the rest of us. Thank you again, Ken Lee.
I have since mounted it to my garage floor. It's nice and sturdy now. I just did 12 mount and balances in the past month. It gets easier every time. I pick up wheel weights whenever I see them in parking lots, especially outside the tire places at Walmart or Sears. Glad you liked the video.

I love the video. I am totally buying one of these. You show just how easy it is to by doing it in your pajamas. You seem so relaxed. I'm tired of paying $20 just to mount a tire.
Changed his tire like a boss! Even in Jammies:)
Harbor Freight tire changer is so easy, you can use it in your PJs, lol
Thanks for the video, the pallet trick was awesome, I am going to Harbor Freight today to buy a tire changer after seeing how easy you made it look especially in your pajamas and fuzzy shoes..straight up Boss!!
You still need to balance afterwards. I've had good success with the harbor freight bubble balancer and their stick on weights.
You may want to buy some new valve stems and also. I got mine in a 100 pack shipped from overseas. They were extremely cheap. Oh you'll also need a valve stem tool. They'll be cheapest from eBay again. Your Walmart may be the best proceed locally for the stems and tool.
And thanks for watching! Good luck!
And don't forget to use the Harbor Freight coupons! there's always a 20% off coupling and some kind of free gift coupon. I like their screwdrivers and the led wirklight. Buy the changer, balancer, tool, and weights separately with coupons and you'll have a bunch of free screwdrivers and work lights too!
+Ken Lee I appreciate the tip brother thank you, take care.
Ken Lee a real one out here in these streets, great job bro.
I've watched several,of these and I am TOTALLY impressed with your video. On my way to HF now to,pick up one of these babies and I'll snag a pallet from the back of Home Depot or something. Great job!
mounting the machine onto a pallet is an excellent idea - thanks Ken, enjoyed your vid
So crazy! I’m here figuring out how to not drill into my garage floor to mount it. And your mounting the same exact tires as me. Lol. This is it! Good work
and my wife complains about me......LOL great video. wardrobe? priceless!
nice job I thought breakfast was ready when you walked away
Heck yeah! get that mess done in your jamas! Good work man!
Like the pallet mount idea. I have one of these I use for motorcycle tires and have tried other ways to secure it temporarily, since I don't do this often.
Other than that, your vid could've only been made better if you'd have had your breakfast off on the side, maybe a nice stack of pancakes and a cup of coffee to enjoy while you were muscling that tire off. I mean, as long as you were still in your pajamas . . .
KEN YOU ARE A STUD...!!
I saw other vids and was laughing at Barbie boys being gentle and prissy.. You n me are the same tho.. PJs and a tire change.
I like the idea that you mount the tire changer on a wood pallet, because the Harbor Freight tire changer requires extra support to be usable. Good idea, because I like to save space and portability.
Ntxhuav Lis I've seen threaded inserts installed in garage floors and when they want to use the changer they'd bolt it down use it then unbolt it and move it back out of the way.
Ntxhuav Lis I have since the video put in some anchors in the garage floor. Holds tight now!
Ken Lee, I purchase one and I just mount on a cross of 2" × 4" lumber. It works good, but the tire changer bar want to spin on me when I try to put the tire on the rim. Maybe I have to make a video of my one day.
I'm thinking about mounting mine to plywood .
Wow, that’s pretty cool that he did that in his sleep!
Piece of cake! Bless his heart.
so cool doing it with your jammies an slippers on thanks for video
A job very well done!
Impressive. You make it look so easy👍👍
Awesome video Ken.
I just posted my diy video and named it THE KEN LEE METHOD. LOL. seriously never would have thought a pallet would be sufficient.
Wife yells from kitchen, " Ken, breakfast is ready!" Ken yells back , " I'll be right in! I told you I was grabbing the newspaper and changing some tires!"
You make it look so easy I can't even dismount the tire without the pallet going all over the place
Did you eventually get it done? The purpose of this video wasn't to mislead people. Sorry if my video led you to waste money.
It's really not all that difficult. You gotta remember that the smallest part of the rim is in the middle somewhere between the two beads. You always want to push the opposite side of the tire down off the bead to give you the most play. If you force it, you could damage the bead.
Please let me know if I can be of any assistance at all.
I wasn't sure how to mount mine, never thought of trying it at an angle. Thanks.
I think changing the tires wearing a pegamma made it easier
Thank you
changing tires in your sleep its so easy
AHH.................Whats better than your first cup of coffee in the morning, Your first tire change!
I'm subbin' for the PJs n Slippers.
And all this before breakfast. Impressive.
It's like a kid on Christmas morning. You can wait to change that tire, that you don't even want to waste time changing out of your PJ's. I bet you couldn't sleep all night, either.
I had to wait two days for those tires to be delivered! I really was too excited to get them on!
Very nice.
Cool PJs very bad ass
nice work.
Im impressed, in your jammies and slippers too yet, Im totally buying one!
lmfao
I Work in a Shop and wear my Sleepers and Steel Toe Slippers to Work and Put my Teddy Bear on Top of Tool Box
good job thank you
Danke schön
Great video to learn from, but I only have blue pyjamas and black slippers. So I hope colour's not important.
@KEN KEE ..THANKS 4 UR VIDEO ..IT HELOS A LOT 2 HAVE SOME KNOWLEDGE..in how 2 change tires tnk u!
It's just a lot of trial and error.
That's the sound of a room getting scratch as duck
Yes, it is best done on steel rims or crappy wheels like mine. If you need to keep from scratching, look up the no-mar bar. It's a delrin tipped bar.
wake up in the morning and need to change a tire? NO PROBLEMO
+Evan Lightner Hey Even, Its not a bad machine, I just got one.
Give them to your dad to change at work.
I always mount and dismount my tires in my pajamas! so much easier!!!
como aser cosas con cartón
changing tires in jammies... LOL Just kidding! The pallet for a base is a good idea and mobile... I think it good idea.
Great job Ken, more people need to learn that we don't need a 3 minute intro explaining things that don't matter. 1 quick request though... What are you using for the lubricant you are spraying on the tire?
Thanks. It's probably the wrong stuff. It is dilute dawn dish soap.
You are too cool! All you need is some theme music!
Yes I love your work clothes.
I"ve just got one from HF but the bead breaker is a little different,it is weaker,it almost got bent and I have 14 " wheels not low profile tires.Not recommended.
If he does this now I wonder what he does after he gets dressed
How many PSI air compressor do you need to pop up the rubber in place and did you have to remove the valve core ?
My compressor will glo up to 150psi, but it only took about 40psi to set the bead on these tires. I did have to remove the core to get air in quick enough to seal the bead on these - the sidewalls were every thin and flimsy on these tires.
nice. has this worked well for you? what do you use to balance?
It's worked very well. I find that mounting low profile or older harder tires are more difficult.
I've been balancing with the harbor freight bubble balancer (the older model I bought about 10 years ago) with great success. I use the harbor freight stick on weights. no shakes even 90+mph. The trick is to get the wheel centered properly on the cone.
it will scratch the rum though unless you modify the bar with some kind of plastic.

SOLD!!!!
I like your pjamas... hahahaha
Could this change a 205/70R15 tire? The tire dimensions in inches are 26.3 Diameter x 8.1 Wide
For sure! I think it has more trouble huge rim diameters and low profile tires. I don't think I would do anything larger than 17" or less than 50. The tires I did there were 205/55/16, and it was relatively easy.
Hola! 💪
Takin care of business in your PJs
Really appreciate your no nonsense approach to this. Do you have a balancing video?
sorry, I do not, but it isn't difficult. make sure the wheel is centered on the cone then place the weights on the rim, pick up the wheel and rotate it 90° and make sure it's still balanced. then clean the rim and stick the weights to the center of the rim.
+Ken Lee thanks!
I'm very glad you found this video helpful. Good luck. remember, when you're cranking the tire on, you want the opposite side of the tire to be pushed down into the center of the wheel. Its diameter is smallest there and will give you the most room to work. you can see in this video where I was struggling until I pushed the opposite side of the tire into that "well" in the center of the wheel.
A man who owns and wears pajamas and slippers let alone is willing to wear them in public deserves to shop at HF and to use their tools.😁
Ken what type of compressor did you use to pump the tires?
Just a bostitch pancake, probably... between 5 and 10 gallon?
@@Ken99287 Thanks Ken I enjoyed very much your video, and thanks for responding.
'so easy I can do this in my sleep!!'
working in pijama ? ???
how to change tires in 10 minute even wearing a pj id be the same guy haha
Looks so easty you can do it in you're sleep or PJs anyway
lool. no scratch at all :)))
Its Sleepwalking....Change your tires style!
lo despertaron temprano al gomero se levanto de pijamas de dormir
Is this guy changing a tire in his PJ's ??@#*? ! WoW ok ....well there you have it a machine so easy you can do in your sleep 😴😴 he's probably sleep walking right now he will probably go back to bed after he uploads the video to his channel he probably don't even know he has in his sleep then wakes up to see that his tires have been changed and he be like the tire changing fairsy's came again yeeaa!!! I knew they would. Well I believe in you tire changing fairsy's I believe in you..... LOL
2 wheels befor i go to bed and 2 wheels after getin up...
Tires all mounted? Now, back to bed.
Not everyone drives a DIY $1400 honda civic with a $4000 dollar set of rims on it.. Probably his dayly driver.. My rims are beat but i got good tires and a good balance ..😒 aint worried bout shit
looks like it's been left out in the rain it's all faded and rusty.
El
Kenny!!! go put some clothes on!!
I understand you are changing a tire. What I don't understand is why you are doing it in your pajamas.
slack man
i just got one of these because i am "tired" of paying for this service. I used the 4th of July sale! also got the motorcycle attachment and I have a bubble balancer on the way, i got it for dirty ass cheap on eBay, 13 dollars! so everything for under 75.00 bucks!
, i was looking for a way to make a base that i can detach and store away the machine till I need it again though because my wife is freaking out about the looks of it LOL> the pallet idea is awesome and FREE! but I have to find a place to put the contraption. Funny, i have that same organizer box as well.
i was thinking of marketing a frame out of old 2x6 decking and filling in the middle with a CROSS to bolt into the center, that way it would be the same diameter as the pallet but skinnier to store. maybe i could make it fold up with some heavy hinges. Still planning. LOL I need to change my trailer tires fast though so I might just go grab a pallet for now like you have here. Thanks Awesome Video
Larry Leisuresuit I ended up placing anchors into the concrete floor of my garage so I can bolt it down and unbolt it quickly. You just drill into the concrete, and the anchors are out into the holes and you wack it with a hammer. It wedges into the hole and leaves you with a threaded hole you can run a bolt into.
I thought of that also, then just keep the bolts handy, But I don't have space inside my garage and the concrete outside I think will just fill in my anchor holes with dirt and stuff, definitely wont be able to find them in the winter ( Snow) . it really would be cool to just grab it and bolt it to the ground though like you say, i might do it anyway and hope that nothing gets in there that i cant blow out with the air nozzle.
oh! maybe i can find some caps that can come out easy and snap in that makes the holes covered.
Larry Leisuresuit little corks? Haha.
I just kept the bolts in the holes to keep the crud out. It was indoor so no rust issues.
yeah, mine will be outside though, no cover, if i plug them with something soft they will probably get smashed down in there, bolts in the holes will stick up a bit. i might do that anyway though, stainless steel bolts maybe. oH! maybe I can find some allen bolts that don't stick up at all.
Hey again, have you ever used yours for 16 and 17 inch? i just noticed that it says up to 15" LOL I have a truck and a SUV to do up and they are bigger than 15. i wonder if i will have to make an adapter or something.
I really need to ask you a personal question. I was looking at tire changing videos when I caught yours; and I really need your advice badly. My wife is Chinese; and she has the exact same character you seem to have. She does not talk or communicate at all. We are having serious marital problems because she gets upset with me; and I don't even know why because she never complains outwardly. She lets pressure build inside; and then she reacts very harshly (talking divorce), when I never even knew she had a problem to begin with. And on top of that she can't even seem to express what her problem really is. Note, she speaks very good English, so that's not the problem. Do you have any advice for a Caucasian man who is trying to understand an Asian woman? I know this is a strange request; but I am very desperate at this point. Thank you in advance for any advice you may have.
+Bob Simmons Wait a minute, are you saying your wife doesn't nag? I find that both refreshing and disappointing. Had I known Chinese women make such good wives, I assure you, my life today would certainly be brighter and quieter. You say she becomes angry and by the time you figure it out, it comes out at you like an avalanche. Is it anything you do or is it something you are that makes her internalized her emotions? Is she introverted around you and others or just you when having your fifth meal of the day? BTW, how much do you weigh and are you able to see both your feet while standing up? I'm not trying to be funny, but merely attempting to figure out the psychological and emotional state of your wife. Chinese women are extremely intelligent and they tend to have unrealistic expectations of their husbands.
Ken Lee
I assure you, I am not joking. I am seeking any advice you may have regarding Chinese women. It is very hard to know what she is thinking because she never talks. She just keeps things bottled up inside. One thing I have learned is to be very careful when she's chopping meat with a butcher knife. Don't ever upset a Chinese woman when she's holding a sharp knife. That much I know...
GoLakers3900
Being married to a quiet Chinese woman may sound good; but believe me it is very difficult, because you never know what she's thinking. They're like cats...very smart and cunning. When they first come to America, they may be somewhat naive; but believe me it doesn't take long for them to wise up.
To answer your question "Did I do anything to upset her?" Of course I did; she has her reasons. That I do not deny. However, I wish that she would tell me up front, when something is bothering her, instead of waiting until the breaking point.
It seems to me that Chinese people are very peaceful; and they do not wish to make trouble. And that may explain why they wait so long to verbalize their emotions. Outwardly, she is very peaceful. That is, until the shit hits the fan. I take that back, even when she leaves it's peaceful. She gives you a kiss; and has some excuse for going out; but she leaves a note behind and never returns.
The only time you really have to be careful with a Chinese woman is when she is carving meat. If she is wielding a sharp knife, it is best not to start an argument. This much I have learned; and, believe me, they keep their knives very sharp. They can cut through bone.
To answer your questions about food...She cooks all day long when she is off work. She loves to cook; but she does not eat very much. The refrigerator can barely close; and I don't like to waist food, so I try to eat it all. I am not that fat; but when I met her I was 135 lbs; and recently I was up to 180 lbs (I am 5'9"). When she left this last time (2 months ago), I dropped 20 lbs. in two weeks. I feel great, and the refrigerator is empty. Believe me, I hate food now.
Yes, I agree they are very smart and cunning, like a cat. White men usually under estimate their intelligence. And yes, they demand a lot from their husbands. Basically, when it comes down to it, they expect us to earn LOTS of money. They can never get enough money; and they do not really seem to enjoy life, as they do not have an interesting hobbies. They just eat and shop.
Do you still think you would like a Chinese woman? I am curious what you think, based on my experience.
Hi Bob Simmons, I read your comment and I realize you share the same problem as most people do. I am Asian and I married to to an Asian woman. I see a lot more divorce in the USA then where I am from. After 26 years of marriage, I realize everything happen for a reason, so I have a reason for everything I do.
Really understanding yourself as to why you do what you do, you believe what you believe, and you are who you are, is the key to understand others; but don't expect others to understand you. Every person maybe at a different level of understanding and reasoning. So what I found is; it is easier to change myself then it is to change someone else. These are some of the things I have changed or realized in my life, which make who I am.
Be fair, be reasonable, be honest, know truth for myths, have a purpose for everything I do, be logical, tell it like it is, be open, do the right thing for all, don't make someone your everything because once they are gone you have nothing, know that the one person you can change is yourself, nothing last forever, death or unconsciousness is true peace, don't expect anything from anyone and you will never be disappointed, give thanks, everyone have their own free well.
Trying to keep everything short, so these are some of the things that I have realized, know, changed, or practice in my own life. Good luck.
My wife left and took my teenaged kids. She is leaving the country. I found out what her problem is...She has a personality disorder called "covert narcissism." I didn't realize it; but she has been emotionally abusing me for the past 20 years. I had two nervous breakdowns; and I was beginning to turn to alcohol in order to cope. In the last months she was with me, I was beginning to have serious health problems.
Since she left, I haven't felt better. I am back to the man I was 20 years ago, before I met her. I have lost 35 pounds; and my health has been restored. Who would have thought that a woman could have such a negative effect on them, like that? When she first left, I was suicidal; but my spirit bounced back quickly, especially once I realized that I was, in fact, a victim of abuse.
Now my son, who is living with her, is beginning to face the ill effects that I had, because now she is putting all her negative energy on him. He has gained 35 pounds; and he sounds pretty down. I told him that he needs to break free from that bitch, otherwise she's going to do to him what she did to me. Honestly, the woman is demon possessed. I'm not joking. Beware of Narcissists...I am not kidding.
By the way, I think Narcissist demons run rampant in Chinese women. From what I have seen, they run their husbands into the ground. Chinese women are mindless drones. They are terminator machines. Goodbye and good riddance to that bitch.
So funny lol its not that easy
What's not?
Damn Igor, couldn't you get dressed before making your video?
+roguesquatcher nothing bad in being confy when you change your tires I would the same lol
Like a boss, only thing missing is a smoke hanging out of your mouth.
Ñ
i broke mine in 2 tires il pay some dude 5 bucks well worth it after 60 in the hole for this junk !
I dont know how guys do it.. No PJs for me, I am in my undies otherwise i am sweating my ass off..
Dude!?! What the fuck are you wearing? In public. To change tires? Are those CHILDREN’S slippers? This country sucks now.
that was alittle disturbing
thank you
