<DIV>Rich: Lots of good advice coming from The List about powder and
decals. What I have not seen is the issue of holding the wheel to the
changer if that is how it is designed and how you plan to use it. The old
changers had a pin to go into the lug hole on the wheel. It
looks like there is a pin in the second and third pictures on the HF web
site. No lug holes on our wire wheels. The only way to hold the
wheel from turning is to put the pin between the spokes. NOT A GOOD
IDEA! Also, if you are going to try to remove the tire from the wheel
while on the changer, you will need to bolt it down. </DIV>

<DIV>If you are just going to break the bead and manually turn the wheel, then
that is probably OK. But then you need a couple of tire irons to get the
tire off of the wheel. I used to have a small tool that you placed between
the tire and the wheel rim and hit with a hammer as you worked your way around
the wheel. I don't see it in my tool box. There could be a message
in that.</DIV>

<P>I purchased a tire remover and mounter from Harbor Freight. I have not
tried it yet and I was wondering if anyone has used one on wire wheels. It
looks like it could work if I put the wheel with the outside hub down on
the unit. I will practice on an old wire wheel and tire before I try it on my
chromes. (I need to put tubes on the wheels as I am constantly losing air and
over the years, I have had to replace many spokes) Is there any advise?</P>
