I think this handle might be more up to the task of that 14.50 SSR. The original tube was .094 wall. The new is .133 (1" sch40 poop pipe). New one is about 6" longer too.
for those who have no clue what I'm talking about, we bent the stock harbor freight manual tire changer handle trying to remove a 35x14.50 SSR from an 8" wide rim. that tire was a beotch.

Looks like that will take care of it. That devil of a tire has now gone on to piss of someone else.

I think I already told Eric I had a changer and balancer. Old bubble type like yours, but it get's the job done.
