Manual Tire Changer Mounting the tire on the rim

It is easy, one of the best tools I ever bought.

Some tires if they have been on a rim for years can be a little difficult but usually the pop off.

Great vid. You make it look easy.

straight dish soap(sunlight or similar) is the best thing to use environmentally friendly, I buy it at the dollar store when it's available and I have had no trouble with aluminum or steel rims.

so what do you use?

[JohnSmiths8379858]

just use scrap motor oil...

@JohnSmiths8379858 motor oil would be bad for tires,  petroleum products eat rubber

Don't recommend using dish soap. I believe I've heard it corrodes aluminum wheels and hard on rubber. I've had good luck using plain old Armorall.
