Fitting - Porsche 996 TT Repair Manual

2. When pushing off the tyre, ensure that the bead press−off tool is set to the exact inch graduation. If this is
not the case, the rim flange may be damaged by the press−off rollers.
3. The wheel must be turned anti−clockwise when pressing the tyre off the rim. Otherwise, excessive forces
occur on the fastening bolts of the machine which can lead to bolt breakage. The tyre beads can be pressed
off at the same time or individually.
4. Before removing the tyre, coat the tyre beads with mounting paste to facilitate removal.
Note
The mounting lever must be kept at a safe distance from the rim. This prevents damage (scratches,
•
pressure marks) to the rim spokes.
5. Put the assembly head on the rim flange. Position the assembly aid. The mounting lever is pushed into the
deep bed underneath the first tyre bead, and then guided over the assembly shoe and pushed down.
6. Lift the tyre bead out of the rim bed by turning the wheel to the right.
7. Position the assembly aid for the second tyre bead. Pull the tyre upwards and push it into the rim
bed underneath the second tyre bead using the mounting lever. Make sure that the mounting lever is
guided correctly (see Point 5). Turn the wheel to the right and remove the tyre.
