I'm hoping someone who is a technic guru can design a tire press for me (I'll
pay for your design time!). We have an entire bin of reject tires that have the
wrong wheel combined with the wrong tread. Taking these apart by hand has been
the only solution, hence an entire bin's worth of tire rejects built up.

It seems to my non-engineering brain there should be a way to create such using
technic, but I simply can't envision it. So.... help! Has anyone seen such
a thing? Would anyone be willing to design such a contraption?

My husband is the tire press around here, but I am afraid I can't patent
him and sell to you. I leave a bucket of LEGO items that need to come apart where
he sits and watches TV. The next day, voila, they are all separated!

Maybe time to add the combo to the catalog?
Is easier then taking all of them a part.
