Default Tire press tool

One more shot of it under construction, three of the finished tool. We haven't yet made a second cross arm for 20" rims/tires but we can't think of any reason it shouldn't work just as well.

Default The tool in use and the finished result

Now that most of the learning curve is behind us, the next tires should be faster to process. We plan to pay attention to having two set up in each direction so that Bob can make a matching set of either "open end touches first" or "point of V touches first" or random to simulate "spare was put on and no-one cared which part touched first. If anyone is wondering what the yellow arrow on one arm signifies, it is because the arms line up more smoothly in one orientation than any other.
