Anyone ever tried one of these?
SEALEY MANUAL TYRE CHANGER -SALE PRICE on eBay, also, Other Garage Equipment Tools, Garage Equipment Tools, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 18-Jan-09 08:46:55 GMT)
They're cheap enough to have lying about in the garage for occasional use would be handy. Do you reckon they'd be up to the job for big fat landy tyres or only any good for ickle car tyres?

I used my high lift jack to get a set of tyres off no so long ago, that works well when you find the right technique

save your pennies, couple of bits of angle iron 3inches or so long
stand them on the tyre against the bead and belt them in over
never failed yet for me, from tractor tyres and anything below.

You can get a tyre lever with a nylon head for alloys of cheaper nylon thingies that clip over the rim to protect it.
