    Harbor Freight M/C tire changer

    Anyone buying this changer, there are some nylon blocks available for it to help keep from damaging your rims.

    You'll need to drill 3 holes to install, but they work well.

      I can't believe you didn't just make them. Three inches of Delrin, a couple of drill bits and a hack saw is all you need.

              Were you asking about the tire changer itself or the available nylon blocks?

              I've got the tire changer, it's paid for itself at least 3 fold now. In fact it DID literally pay for itself when local riders in my humble small town found out i had a tire changer and paid me for the privilege to use it

              Works well as long as you have it mounted to the floor. It was almost unusable otherwise.

              The provided tire bar however is another story. Not very usable but it combined with a couple of good tire spoons works pretty well. My next purchase is this guy's mojolever:

                  Picked one up a few years ago as well, on sale for $70($39 for the tire changer + $29 for the motorcycle attachment). Definitely paid for itself over the years. Didn't want to mount it to the floor and lose that precious garage space. So I mounted it to a 3'x3'x¼" plate of steel we demo'd out of a consulate. I also use the bar it came with along with a couple 8" MP tire irons. Then use the HF tire balancer to finish it off.

                  Good info about the Mojo Blocks, Thanks Tod.
