I was at HF today picking up a ATV lift and saw this small tire changer.
Have read a lot of posts from people wanting to change their own tires.
Thought this might be an alternative

BTW, this is the lift I got for my trike:

Great find on that tire changer. Costs about the same as paying a shop to do 2 tires (after that Free).

We use that tire changer in our shop.

Lately we have been just using this bead breaker:

and three tire irons.

Those little ATV tires can be a real Bi*tch,

I bought the mini-HF Tire Changer last year at the local Harbor Freight for $40 here in Asheville, NC. I intend to use it this year after mounting it to a pallet. Youtube has many videos how to use it.

I've always changed tires with tire irons manually on a rubber mat on the ground. Getting too old for that.

Leave tires out in the sun for a couple hours to make them more pliable to mount & demount. I also use diluted dish washing liquid soap for mounting.

Hey Dave you use that lift yet?,,, i was wondering how it works,,,it's got to lift the trike up with ease,,,and does the trike have reverse? i would think it would ,,,,

Unfortunately not yet, as I'm still rearranging the garage to make room to work on the trike, but, yea, says it lifts 300 lbs

Yes, it does have reverse, which makes it really easy to back into the garage

Have had zero issues with the trike since I got it.

Next is balancing the tyres and renew all the fluids.
Starts right up, as it's been on the tender and me starting it occasionally thru this long a33 winter

More snow last nite, mostly melted today

It's time to ride

Worst winter ever for me, when I lived in the north you expect snow and ice, just not here.
