Separate tyre beads from wheel halves, using a
bead breaker or by applying pressure in even
increments around the entire sidewall of the tyre
as close to the tyre beads as possible.
Remove nuts (5), washers (6), and bolts (7)
holding wheel halves and brake disc together.
Separate inner wheel half (10), outer wheel half
