3.2 Advanced Demounting Procedures (for TCX56)

It is important on large, low profile tires to always lubricate the tire bead, wheel drop
center, and bead seat to prevent possible tire damage during demount.
Demounting Tire from Rim Using the Bead Lever Tool without the Plastic Sleeve
Protector
Sometimes the sidewall of the tire is so stiff that use of the bead lever tool with the plastic
sleeve protector is not possible. The technician needs every bit of clearance to be able to pry
the bead of the tire up and over the mount/demount head.

Demounting Upper Bead

Position mount/demount head onto the outer edge of the upper rim lip.
Position bead breaker tool without plastic sleeve protector between demounting lip of the
head and the bead of the tire. The demounting lip is on the right side of the head.
Using the bead lever tool, pry the tire bead over the demounting lip of the head.
Position the bead lever tool parallel to the rim.
Lift slightly on the wheel rotation pedal
approximately 1/2 inch, to fully unfold the bead onto the mount/demount head.
Slide the bead lever tool out from between the mount/demount head and the tire.
Step down on the wheel rotation pedal
bead is lifted from the rim.

Demounting Lower Bead

Pull the tire up and tilt to place rear of lower bead in drop center behind mount/demount
head.
Lubricate tire bead lever tool and then insert it over the demounting lip of the head and under
the lower bead of the tire.
Pull the lower bead up and over the demounting lip of the head.
Push the bead lever half-way through tire and rim. Grasp inside of bead lever with one hand
and grasp outside of bead lever at the base with the other hand. Firmly pull bead lever
