The Manual Tyre Changer works in two ways. Firstly it removes the tyre from the rim after the bead has been broken and, secondly it re-fits the tyre to the rim after any repairs have been carried out.

and a work stand and or bull bar mounting bracket (Depending on the model) .

Looks good to me, but doesnt look hard to make.
Looking for how small it packs away to...
Remember the tire he is using in the demo would have been off the car a few dozen times, so would make it look REAL easy ;)

I dont like doing much so i look for the easiest way to do something . I remember taking a tyre off a rim once about 25 years ago with a pair of tyre levers and i was completely stuffed and back then i was
young .
Did you see where you can mount it on the bullbar .

Nothing wrong with the easy way!!! Specially in the bush, or out in the open in 30+ degree heat..

looks simular to what they use in tyre shops except without the hydraulic bead breaker. How much more? and if youre troopy has splitties you dont need it anly the tyre plier. Also as Truckster says how much space

Looks like a winner to me.
Nothing worse than busting your hump working in a position not meant for the human body( no khama sutra jokes please);-)
I definately like the Idea of the bullbar mount.

Glenno,
I do a lot of outback travel, have gone to tubeless over the past 10 years, and haven't considered needing a tyre changer.
We plug the majority of tubeless punctures - takes 5 minutes and you don't have to remove the wheel. Can get a permanent repair when you're back in town. Also, if you treat your tyres right, you'll rarely get punctures.
On the rare occasions I need to remove a tyre to patch it from the inside, I use the high lift as the beadbreaker (kinder to the alloys too). I then coat the tyre beads with detergent BEFORE I lever the tyre off - makes it slide off stacks easier. Levering off is easy - just got to make sure the opposite side of the bead is in the wheel
well. Also make sure that you lever it over the front face of the rim. Bit of practice at
home makes perfect.
I also think that tubeless are much easier than split rims which often rust up and can be a bugger to break the bead, and lever up the split. Reassembly of the split is easy though.
Cheers
Phil
