Default Re: How to change a tire with a Harbor Freight Pittsburgh Tire Changer

Putting the new tire on is soooo much easier.

Step 1.
Place the new tire on the rim with half of the tire hanging already on where you want it.

Step 2.
Flip your tire removal bar over so that the smoothish part is facing upward. Both this picture and the next show it facing the wrong way because I was in a hurry to get the pic and forgot. Once you start prying though, you'll remember, haha! Poke it in the tire and pry upward (push your end up). That flips the tire over the rim and onto it. Move along at about 4 inch intervals all the way around the tire repeating this fancy move.

Step 3.
Do the same with the front of the tire. It's still pretty easy. Just work your way around and it'll POP when it goes on.

Step 5.
Finally, just put the valve stem back in (or a new one). Then air it up and you're off to the races. Don't do like I did and air it up sitting on the grass. You'll get grass in the bead and it'll leak down on you in the night. That's no fun. Put it on concrete to air it up.

And that's all there is to it. You can probably do one tire every 15-20 minutes if you're livin' right. And if you try to just use the instructions that come with the tool you'll end up taking over an hour per tire. Now that's work!

Some people are like slinkys. Not worth much but funny as heck when pushed down stairs.
