COATS HIT 5000H2 Truck Tire Changer - Manual (Page 12)

Bead Loosening
1. Remove the valve core. Deflate the tire away from
the machine and remove any calcium chloride or other
substances from the tire prior to rolling the wheel onto
the tire changer.
2. After locking the wheel on the chuck, move the
bead loosening disc into position near the edge of the
rim.
Note: Apply a liberal amount of lube to the tire side-
wall. This will regain some of the original flexibility of
the rubber, thus reducing possible damage to the side-
wall.
3. Rotate the wheel and slowly move the bead loos-
ening disc into the sidewall until the bead is loosened.
4. Continue to rotate the tire and apply a liberal
amount of lube to the bead and the rim.
5. Move the bead loosening tool to the inner bead
and repeat the above steps.
Note: Tire lubricant greatly reduces the force needed
to demount or mount a tire. Liberally lube each bead
and rim edge while the bead loosener disc holds the
bead away from the rim. FAILURE TO APPLY LUBE
COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE TIRE BEADS.
Demounting
1. Advance the combo tool close to the rim, with the
finger past the rim edge.
2. With the spade tool inserted between the rim and
the outer bead, on the right of the combo tool, pry the
bead out over the rim edge.
