Removing old tires from rims

[58Yeoman]

I had bought a HF tire changer with the motorcycle attachment, and changed my own mc tires (Honda Goldwing). It worked very well for me, though I did put a ding or two in the wheels, but who gets down there to look?

I've still got it, but not the bike, and I've moved, so it's not set up. I have a couple tires that need dismounting, so I guess I'll drill a few holes in the shop floor and mount it again. I guess I'll use the mc attachment for metal for some project.

Here in CA we pay the tire disposal fee whenever we buy a new tire. It doesn't matter if you are currently disposing of any tires, you are paying to dispose of your new tire whenever you are done with it.

Actually, among all the stupid laws here, that one kinda makes sense. It cuts down on public dumping of tires to avoid the fee at the time of disposal.

Our local garbage co has a few days a year when you can drop them off for free.
