Actually, I wanted to see pics of the monkey screwing a football since it took HOURS to change "stock tires on stock wheels" with this new fandangled harbor freight tire changer.....LOL.
Thanks for the writeup but it seems like to many potentials for scratches. No thanks.

On a serious note :
There is potintial for scratches no matter who changes tires. I had one changed at the dealer and they put some scratches on my rear wheel that won't buff out. I know I will be more careful than anyone else.

what's that?
It is a 80.00 changer. The $700.00-$800.00 changers have alot more plastic protection built in but I would have to change a lot of tires to justify that price. I think the leather protectors may be the way to go with this one

I just got the same changer and mojoblocks and mojo lever. Need to get a tire ordered so I can try it out. I've been waiting for warmer weather as warm tires are easier to work with.

Yes, I was doing it in a 40 dgeree garage, I agree warm tires would be easier to work with
