I know this is a little late but if your run that nut down on the bead breaker air cylinder shaft you'd gain another two inches or so of bead breaking ability.

[@drm4rtink]

I usually set the clamps just a little larger than the rim. Then it's just a push while clamping. Voila!

[@csiautodetail]

how big of a compressor do you need to run that machine?

[@VStromGarage]

I used a smaller 30gal craftsmen compressor for quite a while before I got the 60gal. The 30 gal. did run quite a bit, but it was only when breaking the beads on the tires.

Is motorcycle duck head and atv duck head the same?

[@VStromGarage]

I'm sure it would work.

Sweet tire changer. I don’t think I could justify that. I’ve never seen a tire split like that. Hopefully some warranty there.

[@VStromGarage]

ya, I probably should have contacted Metzler, still might have to do it.

[@gordonjames8811]

Is their a date of manufacture on the tire? You could start your Tire business?

[@VStromGarage]

Yes, I think it was around the 38th week of 2017. I don't think my back would hold up changing tires all day, too old for that, Lol

[@rsanchez5676]

Wouldn’t you just loosen those Allen set screws on the duckbill instead of pounding it on! ????

[@VStromGarage]

They were backed off, it's a very tight fit

[@robr4596]

umm, back the set screws out? naw, just use a mallet! You can lead a Neanderthal to a tire machine, but you can't make him think.

[@VStromGarage]

set screws were out, it's just that tight.
