    Tire changer newbie question.

    Thanks for the info guys. Another question I have with the tire machine is how much pressure should I be pumping into it? Is it like a regular air tool that you put 90psi? Ijust don't want to blow the pistons on it or any of the air lines. I have a 60gal tank that maxes @ 120psi. Can't...

    Tire changer newbie question.

    Thanks for all these insight, tips and advice! From both of you. Really appreciate it. I went ahead and bought a bead blaster just so I have it in cases where I can't seat the bead by just filling the tire up. Btw Indy, you said that you've always clamped the rim from the outside. Now since...

    Tire changer newbie question.

    Awesome. Another question I have is with seating the bead. I have a 60gal air compressor and buddy of mine told me that I may have to get/buy something so I can seat the bead on the rim? Now I'm not sure what he's talking about because I've always thought that I just have to go and pump air...

    Tire changer newbie question.

    Sweet. I think I get what you're saying. So basically from the looks of it, it will work with car tire use. The rim will only be raised, which means I may not be able to do wide rim/tires. So when would you use the ones that hold the inside of the rim VS the outside lip of the rim? I'm assuming...

    Tire changer newbie question.

    Yes. The 4 pieces on top of the base plate moves/slides in and out with air pressure. Pretty much all the car tire machines I've seen from research don't have those bars that looks like its laying on the plate but instead they have some ramp kinda thing and a claw type assembly like THIS.

    Tire changer newbie question.

    Hi everyone, I just acquired a used electric/pneumatic tire changer for a good price. Being that I'm new to this tool/machine and didn't know what to look for and what to look at, I didn't realize that it's a motorcycle tire changer. It doesn't have a brand but from my research, it looks like...

    Thanks. I ordered the last one. I've been on the fence about weather I should get the pro one and have every adapter there is or get a "one size fit all" kinda like this. Should be good to have in my tool arsenal since, as you say, it should work with most radiators out there.

    I have no experience with any cooling system pressure tester yet, but I wanted to ask, does this fit pretty much all radiators out there? Or is this just the tester itself and we pretty much have to buy the adapters for each model/type? Because that's how some of the more expensive ones are...

    How often do you see this coupon come in? I've been wanting this for a long time now but I really just don't currently need and have the space for it. I think it's been a while since I've seen this item discounted.

    Yes. They expect you to just forget about it because it was all just a dream:lol_hitti:willy_nil:lol: On a serious note though, I feel like power sellers should be held to a higher standard of accountability since they've usually been "on the block" longer than normal and know most of the in's...
