I'm considering buying a manual tire changer from Harbor Freight. Wondering if anyone has any experience with one. They have two sizes, one for rims up to 17" and one for rims up to 12". The larger one says it will do small rims as well, but I'm thinking my Cub's front rims won't fit the center post, even without the bearings installed in the rims. Anyway, I was thinking that if this thing works on the Cub rear rims, and would also work for my pickup and car, it would be well worth the $49 they have it advertised for. My concern is whether it really works, or just beats up the rims and makes for a frustrated mechanic.
