    Motorcycle Tire Bead Breaker - economy version

    Decided to try this method after pinching in the vice didn't work. Couldn't be easier, or cheaper. Thumbs up from a cheap skate.\\/

        I know where to come to fit my next set of tyres now!

        That's the most creative use of a Nissan I've seen in a long time.... (I have a red Nissan too).

        Did you make yourself some balancing stands?

        I have some moly paste for the splines on the rear wheel if you need some, let me know.

                I use a c-clamp and two pieces of wood. Does that make me a cheapo?:-D

                  LOL - I hope the sill panel holds up to the pressure. They don't make 'em like they used to. The last thing you want is a cheap tyre repair and an expensive auto body repair.

                      In the case of Nissan's, the hem flange under the sill is the lift point for the car so no worry.
