The Duckhead will guide the tire bead up and over the
edge of the wheel. Continue rotation until the upper
bead is demounted.

head (figure 12). Insert the smooth curved end of the
bead lifting tool down over the forward end of the
mount/demount tool and below the lower bead. Lift
the bead up and over the knob on the demount head
(figure 13).
