REMOVING THE TYRE FROM THE RIM

Equipment required

Tyrepliers Bead Breaker, 2 x 600 mm Tyre Levers, ground sheet and a rubber mallet [optional].

Breaking the bead

To break the bead all pressure in the tyre must be released by removing the valve core. Then proceed as follows:

• Adjust Tyrepliers to the correct rim size (tyre size as on the tyre wall).
  
• With the deflated wheel on a flat surface, stand on the wheel and get your balance.
  
• Locate Tyrepliers across the centre of the rim and apply pressure. With your foot (to locate the foot of the tool); and
  
• With both hands on both of the tool handles.
• Keeping the two handles together, apply enough pressure to force the jaws in and under the rim.
  

Warning Damage to the tyre wall may occur if full pressure is applied to the long handle BEFORE the jaws are forced all the way under the rim and onto the tyre bead

• Once the jaws are forced all the way, keep outward pressure on the shorter handle, and operate the long handle outward, thereby forcing the tyre away from the rim.
  
• Move the tool around the rim and repeal the action until the bead pops.
  
• Turn the wheel over and repeat the procedure as stated
  above until the back bead pops.
  

Hint If you have difficulty in forcing the jaws all the way in and under the rim - do not continue. Hammer a tyre lever between the rim and the bead and force the jaws of Tyrepliers ( in next to the lever).
