Inspection
● Examine both sides of the rim for dents [A]. If the rim is dented,
replace it.
● If the tire is removed, inspect the air sealing surfaces [A] of the
rim for scratches or nicks. Smooth the sealing surfaces with fine
emery cloth if necessary
Replacement
● Remove the wheel (see Wheel Removal)
● Disassemble the tire from the rim (see Tire Removal).
○ Remove the air valve and discard it.
Replace the air valve whenever the tire is replaced. Do not
reuse the air valve.
● Install a new air valve in the new rim.
○ Remove the valve cap, lubricate the stem with a soap and water
solution, and pull the stem through the rim until it positions into
place.
Do not use engine oil or petroleum distillates to lubricate the
stem because they will deteriorate the rubber.
● Mount the tire on the new rim (see Tire Installation).
● Inflate the tire to the specified pressure.
