for $30, have no idea how it works, but it appears to be maual (or you
could go down to the local llanteria and have Manuel do it).

I'm trying to put a pair of decent U-Pull tires on my car
trailer. (MB content: it usually is one riding on it. Also,
I've got a spare tire issue on one to sort out.) The part of
this job that went well was the bead breaking. I used one of
the Mog's crane stabilization pods to step on it. Slick. I
thought I had a good set of tire irons, but once I started
trying to use them I found that one is some kind of a
truck rim prybar, and that I was missing a second spoon.
So I got out a heavy steel spike (construction debris) and the
blacksmithing goodies and made a second spoon. (And boy, are
my arms tired! Ba-da-boom!)
I started on the worst of the bad tires, and after a whole lot
of fooling around determined that there is a right and a wrong
side of the tire to dismount first. Soapy water for lubrication
is also critical.
Having gotten one tire off (of four) I went in for breakfast.
Hungry, tired, and with a sore arm.
Gosh, this is fun! Gotta get a job so I can afford to send
crap like this to the folks with the nice Coats machines...
