Bob I use Palmolive dishwashing soap for a lube. Not to keen on using a BFH, I don't want to damage the bead. and I have a set of tire tools from HF that have come in real handy.
What I was wondering was how the tire changer could be used to put mount a tire.

MN, it's item #34542-8VGA and it's on sale now for $49.99. It's saved me a couple of hundred bucks in tire removal since I got it this past Spring. So, as far as I'm concerned even if I can't use it to mount a tire, it's still worth the fifty bucks for breaking down tires.
