the hard part is breaking the beads loose & a bead breaker is required & a couple of the large flat "spoons" to work the bead over the rim will work though for that many tires it'd be alot of work but if you're like me you have (much)more time than money

I bought one of those manual changers. I used it to dismount 2 tires, and it broke. I bought mine from Harbor Freight.
We have one of those China tire changers also. It has not broken yet, and dismounting has worked ok, but it is a POS for mounting tires. The part that breaks the bead already bent on us and we had to fix it. Just like 99% of crap from China, it is a piece of s#!*.

I purchase an older manuel tire changer and bubble balancer off of a guy who advertized them in newspaper. I poured a concrete slap with bolts sticking up and bolted it down, I break mine down and mount they carefully. They want like ten bucks to mount one here, not from me. check out craiglist also.
Same here, only I keep mine on a wood skid and move it from home to work when I need it. Ton's of good used one's available here all time.
