• Bead breaker blade
• Bead breaker cylinder
• Swing arm or tilt-back column
• Foot pedals and control valves
• Air pressure regulator and gauge

These parts work together to secure the wheel, break the bead, and mount or remove tires. You can also view complete tire changers for different shop setups. 

Common wheel balancer parts include:

• Balancer shaft or spindle
• Wheel cones and adapters
• Quick-release or locking nut
• Measuring arm
• Control panel and display
• Wheel hood or safety guard
