Harbor Freight tire machine Cheap Mods, Easy DIY tire changes

This machine has put in so much work it's not even funny. Thanks atari33 on ebay for making a very helpful tool. I have no affiliation with him but this tool is too good to not share.

I have the exact same Harbor Freight tire changer. I paid $35 for it when I bought it. You just spent $115 for a mod on a $35 tool. I'd say it was probably worth it, but hey..... I will also say that low profile tires are the bane of the universe when it comes to mounting and dismounting them.

You need to get you a strap and you leave that down there with that beep.Breaker push down on one side that it gave you room where you can get that outside edge started up

Going to the tire shop is faster

For a normal person going to a shop is probably better. I however drift and need every bit of money to put toward more tires. lol

Those of us with track only cars can't exactly drive them to a tire shop. Not to mention that many of us who build or tune our own cars absolutely hate someone else messing with them.

​@@jamesgriffin7351My experience is that most shops don't want to even touch road race or autocross tires which have very stiff sidewalls. That's due to the real possibility of tearing the new tire's bead when forcing it on the rim with a powered tire changer. The manual tire changer has done the job for me for such tires but its very difficult, frustrating, and time consuming. Unfortunately the attachment used in this video won't work on my race tires so tire spoons and a helper have been mandatory supplements.
