Oiling a manual pneumatic tyre changer

[Jack_K]

How should I be oiling this manual pneumatic tyre changer?

From what I can work out I should be using an oil thicker than air tool oil. The bead breaker cylinder has a plug presumably to put oil in it however the rim clamp cylinder doesn't. The tyre chuck is fed from the same inlet air block so from what I have read putting an inline oiler before the machine isn't the best idea. I could modify this but surely there is an acceptable way to oil it as it is. Sealey make a machine with effectively the same problem and they don't say how to oil it except the manual has a standard Chinese tool air line diagram with an oiler.

I haven't found any information about this manufacturer or model.

I have chosen to go with what is probably an overkill setup. I will be fitting an inline oiler and moving the tyre chuck to before the oiler. Clearly it has worked how it was but it was probably due to cost and that it was never intended to last this long. The bead breaker seal is questionable so I prefer that it gets as much oil as possible.

Because I always overdo everything the fittings and oiler cost more than the machine did
