TIRES
AND
TUBES
A.
Removal
1.
Remove valve cap, valve core, and valve
stem locknut. Loosen bead spacer(s),
(rim
locks).
2. When
all
air
is
out
of
tube, separate tire
bead from rim (both sides) by stepping
on tire with your foot.
3.
Use
two
tire removal irons (with round-
ed
edges)
to
work the tire bead over the
edge
of
the rim, starting
180
0
opposite
the tube stem. Take care
to
avoid pin-
ching the tube
as
you do this.
4. After you have worked one side
of
the
tire
completely
off
the rim, then you
can
slip the tube out.
Be
very careful not
to
damage the stem while pushing it back
out
of
the rim hole.
NOTE:
______________________
_
If
you
are
changing the tire itself, then finish
the
removal by working the second bead
off
the rim.
B.
Installation
Reinstalling the tire and tube can
be
ac-
complished by reversing the disassembly pro-
cecdure. The
only difference in procedure
would
be
right after the tube has been in-
stalled. Before the tire has been completely
slipped
onto the rim, momentarily inflate the
tube. This removes any creases that might
exist.
Release
the air and continue with
reassembly. Also, right after the tire has been
completely slipped onto the rim, check
to
make
sure
that the stem comes
out
of
the
hole in the rim at a right angle
to
the rim.
Finally, inflate the tire.
