4
|
Lay the wheel down, if possible on a clean
surface to avoid scratching.
|
|
5
|
Tread the tire bead away from the rim - after a
great deal of service the tire beading has a
tendency to stick.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
6
|
Brush a lubricant such as soapy water onto the
tire bead and rim and also dip the tire levers (two
short ones are recommended) in the solution before
each leverage.
|
|
7
|
Insert the first lever between the tire valve
and rim at the valve position, press the opposite
side of the tire down into the rim well and apply
leverage (see Fig.H18).
|
|
8
|
Insert the second lever approximately 4 in. (100
mm) from the first and lever the tire bead over the
rim.
|
|
9
|
Remove the first lever and re-insert at the next
stage, continuing round the rim a little at a time
(see Fig. H19) until the bead can be pulled clear
of the rim.
|
|
10
|
Remove the security bolt from the rim.
|
|
11
|
Push the valve out of the rim and withdraw the
inner tube.
|
|
12
|
If it is required to remove the tire from the
rim, hold the wheel upright and apply pressure to a
lever inserted between the second bead and wheel
rim.

Refitting Rear Tire (Security bolt
fitted)
|
|
|
|
1
|
If the tire has been removed completely, ensure
that the rubber rim tape is fitted properly, rough
side towards and central in the spoke nipple well
of the rim.
|
|
2
|
Fit the first tire beading over the rim without
the inner tube.
|
|
3
|
Lift the free side wall as in Fig. H24 and
insert the security bolt less nut. Loosely fit the
leather washer and nut.
|
|
4
|
Replace the valve core and inflate just
sufficiently to "round" the tube and minimise the
risk of "nipping" at a later stage. Dust the tube
with French chalk and place the tube inside the
tire, feeding the valve through the rim tape and
rim holes.
|
|
5
|
Lubricate the bead with soapy water.
