Procedures
De-Mounting Tires and Rims
1. Single Piece Rims
2. Multi Piece Rims
Procedures Demounting
1. Demounting Single Piece Rim
Jack vehicle and remove wheel

Remove the valve core
Fully deflate the tire
Run a wire through the valve stem
Dual wheels inspect inside tire assembly
1. Demounting Single Piece Rim
- continued
Do not remove de-mountable dual wheel until
pressure is released
Remove the wheel nuts and remove the wheel
assembly
Break bead according to manufacturer
De-mount the tire from the narrow ledge side
Never hammer on the rim
2. Demounting Multi Piece Rim
Jack vehicle to remove wheel

Remove the valve core
Fully deflate the tire
Run a wire through the valve stem
Dual wheels inspect inside tire assembly
Deflate both tires if damage to inside wheel
2. Demounting Multi Piece Rim - continued
Ensure all components are cleaned
Ensure pressure is released
Remove wheel nuts and wheel assembly
2. Demounting Multi Piece Rim - continued
Break bead
Never hammer on the rim or the lock ring
Disassemble the tire assembly

Component acceptability
Inspect single piece rim
Reassemble single-piece rim
Inspect multi piece rim
Reassemble multi-piece rim
1. Component Acceptability
Do not interchange components

Inspect prior to assembly
Tag damaged components and remove from area
Components to be clean
Check tire and wheel size and type
2. Inspection of Single Piece Wheel
Clean and examine wheel, valve stems
and tire carefully
Paint the rim with a metal primer where
necessary
Inspect the inside of the tire
3. Reassembly of Single Piece Rims
Replace stems or grommets

Lubricate tire beads and mating surfaces
Replace old O-Rings
Work tire beads one at a time over rim flange
Tire changing machine
continued
Do not apply heat

Do not use flammable substances to seat
beads
Use restraining device when inflating
Do not inflate if flat, solid surface is in
trajectory
Stay out of trajectory when inflating
continued
Remove bead expander

Clip-on air chuck
Stand outside the trajectory
Ensure wheels are lined up
Inspect the tire and rim
Do not rework damaged wheels
4. Inspection of Multi Piece Rims
Look for signs of cracking, wear, corrosion,
deformation, broken beads:
Sprung side/lock rings

Cracked rings/rims
Bent flanges
Tool marks
Loss of contour
Metal thickness of the mating surfaces
5. Reassemble Multi Piece Rims
Replace old O-Rings

Lubricate
Put the rim parts into place
Never air-up a wheel of which you are
unsure
5. Reassemble Multi Piece Rims - continued
Inflate to 10 psi and ensure that parts fit
Inflate to manufacturers specifications
Stay out of trajectory when inflating
5. Reassemble Multi Piece Rims - continued
Do not apply heat
Do not use flammable substances
Inflate to recommended pressure
Deflate completely
Re-inflate to the manufacturers
recommended pressure
Re-check before removing from restraining
device
Procedures - Mounting
Mounting Disc Wheels
Check wheel studs for damage

Check tire diameters on dual wheels
Check tires for separations
Ensure mounting surfaces are clean
Mounting Disc Wheels continued
Use the proper cap nuts
Use proper tightening sequence and
torque levels
Use air wrenches only to spin on the nuts
Recheck and retighten cap nut at 80k to
160k
Mounting Demountable Tire Assemblies
Check all studs, clamps, spacer bands

Check diameters of tires
Do not mix tire types on the same axle
Ensure mounting surfaces are clean and
smooth
Mounting Demountable Tire Assemblies
- continued
Place inflated tire assembly on wheel

Guard against misalignment
Install proper rim clamps and nuts
Use proper tightening sequence / torque
levels
Recheck / retighten clamp nuts after 80k to
160k
