Troubleshooting
Lever feels loose or wobbly
Ensure the tool is being gripped firmly. This is a solid piece of forged steel and should not have inherent looseness unless damaged.
Difficulty getting the lever under the tire bead
Try rotating the tire slightly or using a second lever to create enough gap to insert the tip of the 36-inch lever.
Scuff marks left on the rim
Be sure to use the lever carefully and position it to pry against the rubber tire rather than the metal rim where possible. A rag can be placed between the lever and rim for extra protection if needed.
Corrosion appears on the surface
Wipe down with a light oil (like WD-40 or 3-in-1 oil) and a clean cloth to remove surface rust. Ensure the tool is dried and stored in a non-humid environment.
