ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A tire-changing machine includes a framework supporting a wheel rim receiving platform adapted to receive and secure a wheel rim thereon. A bead breaker mechanism includes a bead breaker shoe, and the shoe is operatively connected to a bead breaker drive lever so that the bead of a tire mounted on the rim may be engaged by the shoe and broken away from the rim. A bead breaker shoe support arm has the shoe fastened to one end thereof, and a bead breaker column lock member has a channel therethrough in which the shoe support arm is slidably engaged, so that the support arm is adjustable in lateral position to bring the shoe to overlie the tire bead. A bead breaker support column provides a mount for the column lock member and is pivotally connected to the bead breaker drive lever at one end, so that a force component applied to the shoe in a direction parallel to the support column causes a friction force between the lock member and the shoe support arm sufficient to arrest motion of the shoe support arm in the channel.
