DEMOUNTING PRECAUTIONS
IMPORTANT!
BEFORE MOUNTING A TIRE ON A RIM, PAY ATTENTION
TO THE FOLLOWING:
THE RIM MUST BE CLEAN AND IN GOOD CONDITION:
A
IF NECESSARY CLEAN AND PAINT IT AFTER
REMOVING ALL WHEEL-WEIGHTS TO INCLUDE 'TAPE
WEIGHTS' INSIDE THE RIM.
THE TIRE MUST BE CLEAN AND DRY, WITHOUT ANY
B
DAMAGE TO THE BEAD.
REPLACE THE RUBBER VALVE STEM WITH A NEW ONE
C
OR REPLACE THE 'O' RING IF THE VALVE STEM IS
MADE OF METAL.
IF THE TIRE REQUIRES A TUBE, MAKE SURE THE TUBE IS
D
DRY AND IN GOOD CONDITION
LUBRICATION IS NECESSARY TO MOUNT THE TIRE
E
CORRECTLY AND GET A PROPER CENTERING. BE SURE
YOU ARE USING APPROVED LUBRICANT ONLY.
MAKE SURE THE TIRE IS THE CORRECT SIZE FOR THE
F
RIM.

4.1 DEMOUNTING TUBELESS TIRES

A. Remove all wheel-weights from the rim.
Remove the valve stem or care and deflate the tire
(Fig.13).

B. Break both beads.
AND
Pay extra attention during this operation as it easy to
mistakenly keep your foot on the bead breaking pedal
too long.
This could result in immediate bead damage (Fig.14)
(Fig.14)
WARNING!
ON CHEVROLET CORVETTE WHEELS WITH THE OPTIONAL
LOW PRESSURE SENSOR INSTALLED, BREAK THE BEAD AT
90 DEGREES OFFSET FROM THE VALVE STEM. DAMAGE
TO THE WHEEL WILL RESULT IF THE BEAD IS BROKEN AT
ANY OTHER POINT ON THE RIM.
C. Set the rim clamps to the proper position: retract
clamps to clamp the wheel from the inside and expand
clamps to clamp from the outside.
When clamping samll wheels (14" or smaller) from the
outside, set the clamps at a diameter nearly equal to
the rim diameter, before placing the wheel on the
clamps.
This will help avoid the possibility of pinching the tire.
WARNING!
TO MINIMIZE THE RISK OF SCRATCHING ALLOY RIMS,
THESE SHOULD BE CLAMPED FROM THE OUTSIDE.
