DEMOUNTING AND MOUNTING TIRES
The tire bead tool has a demounting head with the knob parallel to the tool and
a mounting head with the knob at a 90º angle to the tool.
1. Apply a lubricant made for rubber along the bead
to ease the process of demounting the tire.
2. Insert the tire bead tool’s (#1) demounting head
beneath the top bead (Fig. 9).
3. Stand on the opposite side of the tire. Press the
tire bead tool down until it is flat across the tire
and touching the post. The bead will slide up and
over the rim.
4. Keep the tool flat and use the center post as a
fulcrum point. Work the tool around the tire
while keeping the knob under the bead and raise
the bead above the upper rim.
5. Apply the lubricant to the lower tire bead. Repeat
step 2 to 4 to lift the lower bead above the upper
rim (Fig. 10).
6. Repair the tire or use a new tire.
7. Lubricate both tire beads. Do not use a spray or
allow the lubricant into the tire.
8. Hook the bar’s mounting end onto the rim. There is an indentation that fits
over the rim’s edge. Push the lower bead over the vertical portion of the hook.
