That was very helpful! I have an 853 that looks similar and need to replace the seals. I made a tool for that purpose so the next step is to prep the machine and get on with the project. Thanks for taking the time to film the tutorial.

That center post would never fit a Ninja 250 or KLR650 wheel… unless you remove the bearings. Never say “never?” ;)
@joejoe977310 ай бұрын
You are correct. The Kawaski 650 and the Nija use a 15mm(0.59”) front axle and a 17mm(0.67”) rear axle diameter. If you had the skills/equipment to build the tool, it would be a simple task to change the machine axle to 0.5” diameter with the proper sized flanged sleeve bearings. I sized the tool to handle the wheels that I would put on it. To date I have done 3 different motorcycles and multiple automotive style wheels from 13” to 18” in diameter.

@@joejoe9773I think it’s safe to say that most are in awe of your ability to build the tool. Good job! Whatever I cobble together will be a bastardized mix of the Pittsburgh machine, a duckhead mount/demount bar, and a 15mm center post from McMaster. ;)

What paint did you use ? And how well is it holding up?
@joejoe9773 Жыл бұрын
I used rattle can spray paint made by Rust-Oleum - "Professional High Performance Enamel", 15oz cans. I also used their primer. It has held up well. After I quit banging the wheels with my tire spoons, I re-touched the wheels with the same paint. I have painted the other 4 wheels, after I changed the tires (you learn as you go). The motor home does not see use in the winter.

For installation, put the "Yellow thingy tool" on the other side of the duck head and turn the tool clockwise and it will be easier.

Tire beads can get stuck and throw the balance off. Not a good idea.
@joejoe9773 Жыл бұрын
How do the beads get stuck? I have used beads on multiple motorcycles, automotive tires, trailer tires and motorhome tires. Thousands of miles of use and no off balance detected. No one is paying me. Do what works for you.

Should this work on the dirt bike tires??
@joejoe9773 Жыл бұрын
I tried the changer on a dirt bike tire. It did not work. This wheel had a pair of rim locks installed. The rim locks got in the way of the duck head. So, I used tire spoons. A steel wheel was mounted on the changer. The dirt bike wheel on top of that. A bit of overkill, but it did get the wheel at a better height than a plastic 5 gallon bucket.

Can you supply links to where to buy the duck head and the rim clamp that goes against the rim?
@joejoe97732 жыл бұрын
I bought the duck head and clamp protectors on Amazon. I added a link to both in the description of the video. Hopefully, the link works for you.

You've been busy this winter. That looks like a substantial re-work from November, but the end result looks solid. I like the hinged top support arm.
@joejoe97732 жыл бұрын
That top support arm made a big difference. Everything stays in alignment as the duck head is rotated around the wheel rim. It seems easier to rotate. I wonder if I could have stayed with the 3 clamp system.

Thanks for sharing. Later this year, I may be trying to get a 1994 Chevy s10 running, been sitting for 5+ years. I have always liked the full size Blazers (any years the back half tops can come off) and Broncos (78-79). I hope one day to own a full size again, I used to have 79 Bronco.

That's a pretty cool set up. I've changed Dunlop bias ply tires by hand but I've never been able to get the bead to seat. How did you do it?
@joejoe97732 жыл бұрын
When I had a stubborn bead, I have been able to get it to seat by bouncing the tire/wheel on the ground. I don't go over 40psi, the bead area still has some wet lube on it and my tire bouncing is not very gentle. I hope that helps. Some people break the bead again and try reinflating the tire.

I like that. I have been working on learning the limits of my machine and then improving it. I have gone from 3 clamps to 4, added an overhead arm to support the machine's axle and improved the duck head attachment. This new version should be posted next week. I will have some simple sketches with dimensions at the end of the video.
