TIRE CHANGING (cont)
When removing a steel wheel rim to change a tire, loosen all wheel nuts approximately flush with
end of stud, then tap clamp ring to loosen rim. Do not remove nuts until clamp rings are free or
clamp ring may fly off of stud. When installing rim be sure pins on clamp ring face outboard.
Then tighten attaching nuts alternately and evenly to avoid excessive wheel run-out. See torque
values and sequence diagram.
See tire inflation warning on page C-9.
