Wheel Reassembly
Be sure the rim is clean and smooth
1. Apply lubricant to the bead and rim bead seat.
Never use petroleum or silicon based solutions as lubricants. Rim slippage, bead
damage or dislodging of the bead may result. Regular tire lube or a thin liquid soap
and water solution works best.
2. Work the bead over the rim flange with tire irons, small sections at a time.
3. Turn the tire over and work the other side on.
Use a safety cage and remote inflation control valve when seating a tire bead.
NEVER stand near a tire when the bead is seating. NEVER exceed the
recommended seating pressure. The tire can break with an explosive force which
can cause serious injury or death.
4. Inflate the tire until until each bead has popped and seated to the rim. If it doesn't
pop immediately, leave it sit a few minutes under pressure. NEVER exceed the
recommended pressure for seating the bead indicated on the tire.
5. Inspect both beads for proper seating.
6. Install the valve stem and adjust to the proper pressure (2.5 - 3 psi.)
7. Install valve cap.
Valve Replacement
1. Demount the outer bead. See servicing procedure, Wheel Disassembly, in this
section of the service guide.
2. Push the valve out of the rim, towards the inside of the tire.
3. Insert the new valve from the inside of the tire, and pull it into place with a valve
pulling tool.
Be sure the valve seats evenly into the valve hole of the rim
