Remove and Install the Tire on the Wheel

NOTE: Make sure the tires are installed on the wheels so
that the outside edges of the tire and wheel are as shown
in Figure 44. Also check the Nameplate of the lift truck for
the correct tire size and tread width.
1. The correct tools, equipment and a press ring must be
used for each size of wheel. Use a press to push the wheel
from the rim and tire. The capacity of the press must be
approximately 355 to 1779 kN (80,000 to 400,000 lb). For
the tire sizes, see the Nameplate.
2. When the drive wheels are installed on the lift truck,
tighten the wheel nuts to 155 to 175 N•m (114 to 129 lbf ft).

3. The steering wheels are fastened to the spindle of the
steering axle with a large castle nut. Make sure inner and
outer bearings are correctly lubricated with grease. Install
inner bearing assembly and wheel on spindle. Install outer
bearing cone and castle nut. Tighten castle nut up to
200 N•m (148 lbf ft) while wheel is rotated. Loosen castle
nut until hub turns freely with no end play. Tighten castle
nut to 12 N•m (106 lbf in). Install cotter pin in castle nut. If
the cotter pin cannot be installed, loosen the castle nut to
the first position where the cotter pin can be installed.
Install caps for bearings.
