I havent damaged a tire yet...the key is to not force anything. if the bead isnt breaking spin the wheel and try a different spot and work your way around. taking the tire off is a cinch. the end for putting the tire back on is garbage on mine but i just do it like you would a semi tire or dirtbike tire and work my way around with the spoon end. it'll take some practice but i can have 4 tire's changed in bout 30 min's.but i also used to change tire's all day on car's and heavy truck's.
BTW... I gotta laugh when i read your recent post's. isnt it amazing how fast your build (and mine) went from not planning on doing any hard wheeling to wanting to be able to go further? i reached the point where even if i rebuild my axle from rotor to rotor i'm not sure it'll hold up to what ive been putting it through. so now it sit's in my yard again with 2 bad wheel bearing's, a bad pinion bearing, shot break's and shot balljoint's. I'm not saying that it wont hold up in the front of a ranger but it wont hold up to what i plan on runnin it through
Was there any huge danger of damaging the tires or rims or did it go smoothly? I assume it can put tires back on the same way without harming anything.
A tire changer is a tool that is great to have. It will always come in handy. When you need one, you'll be glad you got it.
