DIY tyre removers...........
Disco-Ron:
ANyone got, or used one.... i'm tempted to get one, simply so i can sort out my own tyres for the truck, i don;t like having to go somewhere to get it done...... i'd rather buy the basic stuff, and do it myself..... i never have the wheels balanced anyway...!
Hangover:
Once you've used them you may change your mind,manual tyre changing is hard work,what would you use for a bead breaker?
Disco-Ron:
Well, most of the cheap ones on that great auction site have supposed bead breakers on them, however, if removing a gash old tyre, the high lift and the weight of the truck seems to work well....!! ;)
Or, a piece of wood and drive onto it!!
Oh, and i'm not scared off by hard work, hell, just lifting the tryes aint easy is it!!
ben_haynes:
yes i have tyre levers, but i used to be a tyre fitter and was taught all the safety proccedures,
i only fit my own tyres as i am a tight A*** and always stick with the saftey i was taught,
if you do fit a set of used tyres check they are not damaged to the inside carcass and fit them correctly, i have seen serious Accidents and Blowouts with damaged and incorrectly fitted Tyres
Disco-Ron:
Plenty of lube, and common sense, i am very aware of the issues that can be caused, but am also very careful with such things!
