Apply automotive wheel rim lubricant to the tyre bead faces on the inside of the wheel rims.
Note that if this step is skipped disassembly of the wheel in future will be made much more
difficult.
3.
Position tyre and tube between wheel halves with tube inflation valve through hole in outside
wheel half.
4.
Mate wheel halves. While maintaining a light force, assemble a washer and nut on one through-
bolt and tighten snugly. Assemble the remaining washers and nuts on the through-bolts and
