Just used a socket that was the same size as the bushing on one side and a open end wrench that was larger as a spacer. Could have used a larger socket, but until that thrid arm grows out my chest, it was impossible to hold in place and turn the vise lever, so opted for the open end, that way could guide it in basically biting the wrench. Untested, but think it will work. Rotor holder (for the doohickey change) could be using a "crows foot" attachment on a socket wrench. I have a old wrench I plan on bending thought. Sorry no coffee yet, and just cant think of anything else. Dooden aka: Cheapskate

Aerostich has a very nice lever type bead breaker for about $60 in there catalogue. It is adjustable for different tire and rim sizes. Gino

It depends on the tire. IRC-GP110 and Kendas seem to come off easily. Pirelli MT-21 rears do not like to come off without a fight. One I removed by running a car onto the tire and then getting out and standing on the other side of the rim. The other I got off by using Tumu's Alcan bike balanced entirely on its sidestand, with Tumu pressing his weight on it and me jumping on the other side of the rim. The Kendas and IRCs I can usually just step on the tire next to the rim. Devon A15 BobH619@... wrote:

Looks new. First saw him putting around on it this year. I haven't talked to the guy about the bike because........ well, he's a complete asshole. ( So much for Love Thy Neighbor!! ) I sincerely hope your customers are easier to deal with than this guy! Steve A11
