The Urban Monk assembles the Harbor Freight Manual Tire Changer and Motorcycle Tire Changer Attachment and reviews their pros and cons. After assembly, he shares why a home motorcycle mechanic may not want to purchase this tool, unless you plan to remove the wheel bearings every time you change a tire (which isn’t practical in most cases).

I’m so glad you did this video! I was gonna pick one up in the morning but I’m going to look at other options now. Thanks again Mr. Monk!
Most people replace the center for with a 5/8″ rod. It’s a cheap tool, it requires a bit of work. Watch some videos ;). Research stuff before jumping in blind.
That would make me drink…heavily…early. Weird, have several friends that have them mounting Goldwing tires without a problem.
Don’t think it was a fail, you can only work with what you have access to. Enjoyed the video. Thanks
I’ve shopped at HF 3 times. The first time was when I need a 2 1/4” wrench. They were about $500 cheaper than Snap-on and I only needed it once. It broke. Second time, I needed some rubber gloves, they were total crap. The third time I needed a cold chisel. How do you eff up a cold chisel you may be wondering? Don’t temper it. I’m no metallurgist but it had a Rockwell hardness of cheese.
