Fig. 33a. Deflate the tube com.
pletely and remove the rim nut on
the valve stem. Loosen both beads
from the bead seats, using a tire tool
if necessary. Stand on the tire,
opposite the valve stem, with the
feet about 15 in. apart, to force the
bead into the rim well.
Fig. 34a. Coat both beads of the
tire with vegetable oil soft soap
before reinstalling the tire. Inflate
the tube until barely rounded out
and insert in the tire with the stem
at the tire balancing mark. Place
the tire on the rim, guiding the
valve through the hole, and apply
the rim nut loosely. Push the
bottom bead down into the well at
the valve and force the remaining
portion of the bead over the rim
flange, using a tire tool if necessary.
Fig. 33b. Insert two tire tools,
about 8 in. apart, between the bead
and the rim Uange near the valve.
Leaving one tool in position, pry
short lengths of the bead over the
flange with the other until the entire
bead has been removed.
Fig. 34b. Force the top bead over
the rim flange and into the well at
the point opposite the valve.
Kneeling on this side of the tire to
hold it in the well, pry short
lengths of the remaining portion of
die bead, working around the rim
until the entire bead is in place.
Always keep as much of the top
bead in the well as possible while
prying the remainder of the bead.
Fig. 33c. Remove the inner tube
before attempting to remove the
second bead. Raise the wheel to an
upright position, insert a tire tool
between the second bead and the
rim flange at the top side of the
wheel and pry the wheel out of the
tire. This operation will be sim-
plified if the soft tip of the bead is
first coated with vegetable oil soft
soap.
Fig. 34c. Remove the rim nut and
push the valve stem back into the
casing as far as possible without
letting go of the stem to make
certain that the tube is not pinched
under the bead; then reapply the
cim nut. With the wheel flat on
the floor, inflate the tire slowly,
making sure that both sides of the
tire are centered on the rim.
