Mekar Tire Changer Mount/Demount Heads - Nylon Replacement 5-Pack, Coats-Compatible Rim-Safe

Mekar nylon mount/demount heads (5-pack) are replacement plastic heads engineered to fit many Coats-compatible tire changers and protect wheel rims while mounting and demounting tires.

If you service wheels with a tire changer that uses the tapered plunger shaft style head connection, these nylon heads offer a softer alternative to the original steel head. They are molded from durable plastic to resist scratching and marring on alloy and finished rims while remaining strong enough for repeated shop use. Packaged as five identical heads, this set helps shops keep multiple machines ready or have spare parts on hand for quick swaps.

Which tire changers will these Mekar heads fit?

These mount/demount heads are designed for Coats-compatible machines that accept a tapered-ended plunger shaft. The product fits a broad selection of base-line model families and commonly replaces the metal head used on many changers.

• Compatible with many Coats* models including 5030, 5040, 5050, 5060, 5065, 6050, 6060, 6065, 7050, 7055, 7060, 7065, 7660, 7665.
• Works on machines with the tapered hole at the plunger shaft end where the head attaches.
• Suitable as a drop-in replacement where the OEM head size and taper match.

How does a nylon head protect rims compared with steel?

Nylon has lower surface hardness than steel, so it reduces the risk of scratches, scuffs, and finish damage during tire mounting and demounting. It also provides a slightly more forgiving contact surface that helps prevent cosmetic wheel damage when aligning the head against sensitive wheel lips.

• Soft contact reduces marring on painted, machined, or alloy rims.
• Less abrasive than steel when handling delicate wheel finishes.
• Maintains grip and function without metal-on-metal contact.

Are these heads durable enough for daily shop use?

Although plastic, these mount/demount heads are engineered for repeated use in shop environments and resist normal wear from routine tire service. They are an effective compromise: noticeably gentler on wheels than steel while remaining rugged enough for many mounting tasks.

• Made from reinforced nylon to withstand typical shop pressures.
• Sold in a five-pack so you can rotate spares as parts wear or for multiple machines.
• Intended as a practical alternative to part #8182788 steel heads where rim protection is a priority.

How easy is installation and replacement?

Installation is straightforward—these heads attach to the tapered plunger shaft in the same manner as the original OEM head. Removal and replacement require only the standard dismounting steps for your changer, so shops can swap heads quickly without special tools.

• Direct-fit design for machines with tapered plunger shaft connections.
• Quick to swap during routine maintenance or when changing machine tooling.
• Five units included to minimize downtime and keep extras handy.

Who is this for? Mechanics, tire shops, and mobile service techs that frequently handle alloy or finished wheels will appreciate these Mekar nylon mount/demount heads for their protective qualities and convenience. If your shop uses Coats-compatible changers with a tapered plunger connection and you want a gentler contact surface than steel provides, this 5-pack gives you multiple ready-to-use replacements to reduce wheel damage and keep operations moving.
