pull the tube out of the tire. If only the tube
requires repair or replacement, it can be

Remove any remaining fluid from inside
the tire.

6. To completely remove the tire from the rim,
turn the assembly over so the narrow ledge is
down and lubricate the second tire bead and
rim flange. Be sure that the side of the bead
still on the rim is in the rim well, and insert
the tire irons under the opposite side of the
bead. Work the rim slowly out of the tire by
taking small bites alternately using both
tire irons.
