You got that right, Pat! I played around with it a while until I got it to
work. I read and re-read the directions.....they are awful. I made a
bunch of weld-on hold-downs out of 3/8 steel rod...they came out
great. Next time I use the tool, I will have to figure it out all over again.
I also had to modify the tool to have an immovable mount. It now goes
on my FEL forks.

The directions for the manual tire mounter/dismounter were also horrible.
Once I figured it out, it has been great. It mounts to my FEL forks, too.
