Randall,
Yes --- I bought one a few months ago and used it to remove the old tires
from my TR3 rims. Worked OK --- you have to be careful not to force it if it
gets stuck, because I am pretty sure you can bend the rims a bit if you try
real hard (don't ask me how I know this part). I never has used it to put
tires back on, so I can't vouch for that part.
BTW --- you are welcome to borrow mine. I had a tire shop mount the new
tires on the wheels and I really don't see using it again anytime soon.
