Tire Removal/Installation Tools (Part 2 Of 2)
-
In order to prevent any damage to the paintwork, the rim flange should be covered with masking tape following tire removal.
-
For tire removal and installation, a retaining tool, special tool 9539, is required. In addition, the end of the tire lever should be flattened and then
rounded (see arrow).
Tire Installing
-
Insert wheel in machine and apply tire lubricant to inside of wheel and both tire beads. Before a tire is installed, the rubber valve must always be
replaced. It is not always necessary to replace steel valves (see page 44-26). When fitting tires, make sure that they are fitted in the right direction
(with the inside on the inside).
CAUTION: Use only TIP TOP Universal, order no. 593 0601 (3.5 kg pot), or Contifix as a tire lubricant. See the important notes on these tire
lubricants in General Instructions.
-
Set installation tool to correct spacing.
-
Fit the first tire bead in the normal way.
