Removing the Upper Bead from the Rim
Note: Sharp edges can be left on the rims.
Use caution when handling the tire.
1. Remove the bead breaking buster assembly from the hub assembly.
2. Lubricate both tire beads. Coat each bead liberally to ensure the tire will slide easily over the rim.
3. Push down on the tire until there is enough room to place the ball end of the mount
demount/remount tool (#11) under the bead on the opposite side of the tire.
4. Pull the handle of the demount/remount tool (#11) down, raising the bead above the rim.
5. While the ball end is still under the bead, pull the handle of the tool around in a clockwise direction
while holding the tire to prevent it from turning.
Removing the Lower Bead from the Rim
(Fig. 5)
1. Raise the tire so that the lower bead is
just under the upper lip of the rim.
2. Position the ball end of the
demount/remount tool (#11) under the
lower bead of the tire.
3. Pull down on the handle to push the
lower bead above the rim.
4. Pull the handle of the tool clockwise to
remove the bottom bead from the rim.
Note: Failure to use bead lubricant when
removing the tire from the rim can result in
damage to the bead.
Installing the Lower Bead on the Rim
(Fig. 6)
1. To mount a new or repaired tire first,
lubricate the inside and outside of both tire
beads.
2. Push the lower bead onto the rim as far as
it will go without forcing it.
Note: Failure to use bead lubricant when
removing the tire from the rim can result in
damage to the bead
3. Place the cut-out center of the
demount/remount tool (#11) over the
locking nut (#3).
4. Pull the hook snug against the outside edge
of the rim.
5. Push the tire down at a point opposite of
the hook.
6. Hold the tire to prevent it from turning and pull the demount/remount tool (#11) clockwise, to force
the tire bead over the rims upper edge.
Note: With proper use of the the bead lubricant, the first bead should slide completely onto the rim. In
cases where it is difficult, the demount/remount tool can be used to install the first bead.
