Once the fi rst bead has been remounted move the
bead depressor into position just behind the mount
demount head. Now depress the second bead down
1-3”. Activate the turntable, as the second bead moves
across the mount/demount head the bead depressor
will follow the tire around and ensure that the bead
does not prematurely seat causing the mount/demount
head to jam (Fig. 5.3-2).

The third tool integrated into the PBA is the Bottom
Bead Roller. This device will be useful at several times
during the demount cycle. First the bottom roller can
be used to unseat a stubborn lower bead, which may
have reseated after the bead breaking process and
before tire removal. Secondarily the lower roller can
be used to hold a wide tire up after the fi rst bead has
been removed. This will assist in getting the second
bead up onto the mount demount head (Fig. 5.3-3).

When working to loosen a stubborn lower bead simply
swing the bottom bead roller under the lower sidewall
and apply slow upward pressure. Be careful not to
mistakenly swing far enough in to contact the rim.
When working to safely secure the second bead
for removal, insert the tire tool all the way past fi rst
and second bead. Now swing the bottom bead roller
into position under the lower sidewall and lift. As the
sidewall comes up, so will the tire bar easily fl ipping
onto the mount/demount head.
5.4 MOUNTING AND DEMOUNTING
MOTORCYCLE TIRES
To mount and demount motorcycle tires it is necessary
to utilize the optional motorcycle adaptors (part number
EAA0304G34A).
The bead-breaking, mounting and demounting
technique is the same as per the car, tubeless or
tube-type tires.
NOTICE!
