ALLOY WHEELS-
Some manufacturers offer wheels with little or no drop
center. These are not DOT approved. The tire or wheel - or
both - can be damaged and the tire could explode under
pressure, resulting in serious injury or death. If you attempt
to mount/demount this type of wheel, use extreme caution.
(See Fig 12.1)
EUROPEAN PERFORMANCE WHEELS
(ASYMMETRICAL HUMP)-
Some European wheels have very large humps except
near the valve hole. On these wheels, the beads should be
loosened at the valve hole on both the upper and lower
sides first.
WHEELS WITH TIRE PRESSURE WARNING
SENSORS-
Performance wheels on some vehicles have a pres-
sure sensor strapped to the rim opposight the valve hole
or mounted on the valve stem. On these wheels, the beads
should be loosened at the valve hole on both upper and
lower sides first. (See Fig 12.2)
DEMOuNTINg TuBE TYPE TIRES
1. After both tire beads are loosened, lubricate the beads
and rim liberally.
2. Position the demount head and bead lifting tool as
described earlier paying careful attention not to pinch the
tube. Depress the table top pedal and rotate only a short
distance at a time. This allows you to stop the process
should you suspect the tube is getting pinched.
3. After upper bead is demounted, remove tube and
demount lower bead.
