2. Remove the valve cap and core to remove all air from the
tire.

Remove Tire From Wheel
WARNING
Make sure all of the air pressure is removed from the tire
before a wheel is disassembled. Air pressure in the tires
can cause the tire and rim parts to explode causing seri-
ous injury or death.
Keep tire tools in firm contact with the wheel parts. If the
tool slips, it can move with enough force to cause an
injury.
NOTE: There are several types of wheels used on these lift
trucks. When disassembling wheels, see Figure 39.
1. If the tire is equipped with a
Tubeless Bead Seal (TBS)
style rubber sealing ring with a
separate valve stem, turn the
valve stem 1/4 turn and
remove valve stem from
wheel, as shown in illustration.
If the tire is equipped with a
Tubeless Sealing Ring (TSR)
style rubber sealing ring, the
valve stem in an integral part of
the rubber sealing ring and is not removable.
2. Put wheel and tire assembly
on the press. Position the feet
of the press on the loose
flange. Push press down on
loose flange to expose the
locking ring.
