Ensure that pneumatic tires are not pressurized before the rim is taken apart, otherwise there is a risk of personal injury.
3.
Remove the three screws holding the two halves of the rim together (see illustration).
4.
Take the rim apart.
Fitting
Fit in the reverse order.
Use a torque wrench to tighten the screws holding the rim halves in place to 7.2 ft-lbs (9.8 Nm).
The recommended tire pressure for pneumatic tires is 36 psi
(250 kPa). Overfilling entails a risk of explosion.
The incorrect tire pressure may result in lower stability and
maneuverability. So check regularly that the tires have the correct
pressure.
