IMPORTANT
1.
Remove the valve core to deflate the tire.
2.
Break both tire beads loose.
3.
Apply lubricant to both beads.
If it is difficult to break the bead, apply a soap and water solution or tire mounting
lubricant to the rim periphery.
Do not damage the tire bead or rim bead seat. Damage to them will prevent proper
sealing.

Use one tire iron to hold the bead and another to work the bead over the rim flange.
Place the irons at close intervals, working only small bead sections at a time.
5.
Remove the tire from the rim.
