I'm going to do more research and see where I can find one for cheap that will do big rims. Thanks for the comment though. Here is the info from harbor freight on this tire changer.



    Specifications
    Name Manual Tire Changer

    Brand Pittsburgh Automotive
    Application 8 in. to light truck (7-1/2 in. x 16) including flotation tires up to size 12.5L16

    Product Length 18-1/2 in.
    you might be able to use tire bars on those, but its an art form, and you don't want cheap tire bars
    Currently looking for a job in or related to scrap/recycling. Relocation is possible for the right offer.

    Matt thanks for the tip. I'm willing to try anything and see what other ideas are out there to make scrap life easier. Always reinventing something until I become comfortable with it. Some times doing one thing for one man will not work the same for another. That is why every one should experiment with different things and what ever is more comfortable they should do that. This was my first time taking the tires from the rims. I'm pretty sure with time I will become better and find better ways too. Thanks again Matt.
