I bought the upper arm when I got my unit from HF. I never use it. get a 3 foot steel rod that is slightly less than the diameter of your axle opening. put it through the hub and into the tire changer, then tighten it down with the knob on the machine.

I then use the included bar to remove and install the tires. unless the new tire is cold, it's an easy process. if it's cold/stiff, it can be a bit of work to get the new tire on the rim.

I have 3 motorcycles, so collectively, the 80 bucks I spent has paid for itself many times over.
