Ive got some levers. Tried to change a trailer tyre the other day and wrecked the rim... :(

Still need some practice if you are a willing guineapig ;)

OK if i win it - will be less embarrasing than taking this 'thing' to a garage.

Shame it's not a front, my Gixxer wheel is already fubar

I've fancied giving this a go also but need the bead breaker and balancer tool. Got the compressor which should be powerful enough
