Demounting of
tubed tires
6-5
NOTICE: Tire must be
completely deflated and
valve core removed before
demounting.
If manually breaking the tire beads from the wheel,
it is important to use the proper tools. Tire tools
may be inserted next to the tire side wall and the
side ring or locking ring. Tools must be smooth and
used with care if gouging the rim is to be avoided.
A stop, welded to the tool, is recommended.
Insert the tapered end of the tire tool into the
notch on the locking ring. Pry up carefully to
avoid bending the ring and gouging the wheel.
Using the same procedures as outlined in Step 1,
loosen the bead on the opposite side of the wheel.
Do not drive tools into rim area. Lift wheel from tire.
Once the tool is inserted, pry down and out as
illustrated. Leaving one tool in position, work the
other around the tire until the bead is completely free.
