Subject: [Healeys] tire remover
I purchased a tire remover and mounter from Harbor Freight. I have not =
tried it yet and I was wondering if anyone has used one on wire wheels. =
It looks like it could work if I put the wheel with the outside hub down =
on the unit. I will practice on an old wire wheel and tire before I try =
it on my chromes. (I need to put tubes on the wheels as I am constantly =
losing air and over the years, I have had to replace many spokes) Is =
there any advise?
