SECTION 12
CUSTOM AND SPECIAL WHEELS
Alloy Wheels
Some manufactures offer wheels with little or no drop
center. These are not DOT approved. The tire, 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.
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 Low Pressure Warning Sensors
Some vehicles have a pressure sensor located behind
the valve stem. On these wheels, the beads should be
loosened at the opposite the valve stem on both upper and
lower sides first.
Performance wheels on some vehicles (including
Corvette, BMW, Lamborghini Diablo) have a pressure
sensor strapped to the rim opposite the valve hole. On
these wheels, the beads should be loosened at the valve
hole on both upper and lower sides first.
SECTION 13
DEMOUNTING TUBE TYPE TIRES
1. After both tire beads are loosened, lubricate the beads
and rim liberally.
2.
Position the Tool Head Hook and bead lifting tools 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.
FOR TUBE-TYPE TIRES
WITH TUBE-TYPE TIRES, DEMOUNT THE UPPER
BEAD AND REMOVE THE TUBE BEFORE
DE-MOUNTING THE LOWER BEAD.
DANGER!
IF A CUSTOM WHEEL IS DAMAGE DURING
DISMOUNTING, STOP AND AVOID DAMAGING
THE OTHER WHEEL. CONTINUE ONLY WHEN THE
CAUSE IS IDENTIFIED AND CORRECTED.
NOTE:
TABLE TOP ROTATION CAN BE STOPPED AT
ANY TIME BY REMOVING YOUR FOOT FROM THE
ROTATION PEDAL. NORMAL TABLE TO ROTATION
FOR DEMOUNTING IS CLOCKWISE.
DEPRESS THE TABLE TOP ROTATION PEDAL TO
ROTATE CLOCK WISE.
TO ROTATE COUNTER CLOCKWISE. LIFT THE
PEDAL UP WITH YOUR FOOT.
