Wow, looks like Clarabell has found another friend!

The one thing I am is a diligent studious Usenet poster in that I summarize
what I've learned so that everyone benefits from the effort.

For example, the Harbor Freight tool, as Clare said, is a POS, but, with a
bit of foresight, you can shore up its weak points.

1. If you're changing standard passenger car tires, it works fine.
2. If you're changing SUV tires, the bead breaker will bend.
3. So what you do is shore it up ahead of time
a. You replace the clevis pins (thanks Clare!) with bolts to reduce slop
b. You stiffen the bead breaker arms
c. You use a pipe instead of the red tire iron for breaking bead leverage
d. You bolt the sucker down as firmly as you can

This is the kind of information I wish the first response to this thread
had. It took a couple of days, but, as a team, what we've done is solve the
problems so that the next person with the same task starts where we left
off.

That's how Usenet is supposed to work.
