Looking at that hole in that truck rim!!! That looks like a 3/4 ton rim!!! So I guess I need to locate my 3/4 ton rim,and measure center to center,on two lug holes,directly across from each other,plus measure the inside of rim diameter,where it looks,like that one is sitting on that piece of plate,and I’ll have a partial blueprint pattern !!! Thanks!!!

After watching your video I went to the metal supplier in town and bought some square stock and made my own tire changer. It is very much like yours and it was one of the most rewarding projects! Your design is so simple yet it works absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for sharing as it gave me the inspiration to make one just like it!!

Wow could hear bead ripping.  Soap is you're friend .

With a few tweaks it a good video, maybe a jockey wheel with a steel square foot to take bounce of vehicle,it be good when you add bead breaker to it.from down under mate.

Thanks!!! DanTheFordFixer!!!

Hi Dan. What a great job. Nice truck too!

a little soapy water sprayed on the bead will make your life way easier.  also before you mount it, lube both beads, and then just slam the first bead down on at an angle, you will not need to use a bar to get the first bead on.

That worked well.   Thumb's up!

So satisfying

Very cool I wish I could see how ya made your tool. Very simple. Now if I could figure a way to make it pneumatic lol . Just kidding great job.

Nice and simple

Thanks

Lube half way round and peel the slick side. Dry side will stay down and still when you push it down. And spoons for heavy tires.

Nice

Muy bien

I made one similar for small lawnmower type tires but I made the back of it where I can slide it up and down in a sleeve and goes down to the ground  and lock it with with a hole and nut welded on and a bolt through that to lock it. I can pick up on the receiver part with one hand and lock it with the other hand. That puts some pickup weight down on it. Takes most all of the sway and give out of it.

Very nice.  How does it hold the rim down?

Nicely done. Looks like a Bias Ply?

Not bad at all.  Perhaps, spray some really  soapy water,  (dish soap) on the tire / rim bead.  LUBE does  wonders......more ways than just WD 40....

Any updates, how about a how to and what you would have done different. This looks like a fantastic solution for what I need.
