Steering wheel removal
DANGER
High pressure tyres. Danger of serious personal
injury and fatality. Never stand above the wheels
when you release the air from or fill the tyres.
Release the air from the tyre. If this is not done, the
wedge band and the clamps may shoot loose when the pressure
changes. Note that the valves may be damaged or that a valve can
be blocked by ice when the air is released. If the air cannot be
released via the valve or if there is doubt as to the functioning of
the valve, a hole must be drilled in the thread pattern.
