[QUOTE="ogopogo, post: 1422136, member: 87115"] My previous diy tire changer did the job but I cursed it with every use. Not enough hands, forever putzing with clamps. I finally got around to building something better. Pretty simple construction and like many others except that it has upper and lower bread breakers always in place so that they can also be used to chase the opposite side of the bead down into the center of the rim. All operations from one position. Quickly clamps to the arm of my car lift making the changer rigid and height-adjustable. Stores in minimum space. Mount-demount bar is the same one I've used for a dozen changes. Ignore the weird cutouts in the mount end, they were part of the plastic's earlier life. Top nut reversible for front wheel. Works well so I declared it paint worthy. A few photos here.
