Coats 20 20 tire manual11/3/2023 (Hint hint : If any of you guys with an old manual machine that works well would like to post some pictures of the mount/dismount tool, I'd be very appreciative.) I am trying to buy or make a dismounting tool bar like I remember using at the local station back in the old days. (Yes I did go to the auto parts store and bought a container of the regular tire lube.) For some reason, 14" tires are particularly hard to deal with I have heard this other places as well. It will also tear up the tire beads both coming off and going on. The bar they give you to mount and dismount tires is very inadequate and will bend quite easily. After about 3 tries with a welder and some spare steel, I was finally able to re-do it so it works fairly well. The first time I used the bead breaker, it bent. I would recommend against buying either of those, and instead save your money and try to find a good used "real" machine. It looks exectly like the one Harbor Freight sells. I bought a $100 tire changer from Northern Tool.
