Tires, Dismounting With Run Flat Tires

Tires, Dismounting With Run Flat Tires

• Pay attention to the safety precautions and conditions => [ Safety Precautions and Conditions for Removing and Installing Tires, Wheels with Tire Pressure Monitoring System ] Service Precautions

- Release air from tires, unscrew the nickel-coated valve insert to do so.

- When pressing off tire on a tire dismounting/mounting machine with press-off blade, always make sure that tire valve/ tire pressure sensor - arrow - is located opposite the press-off blade - 1 -.






Press-off blade must be applied at maximum 2 cm removed from rim flange.

- Remove balancing weights and coarse dirt from disc wheel.

- Press off both tire beads around circumference while thoroughly applying tire mounting paste between tire and rim flange - arrow -.






• Note the safety precautions.

- Turn wheel on tire mounting device so that tire valve/ tire pressure sensor - 2 - stands in front of mounting head - 1 -.






Mounting head - 1 - must not be located in area - a - of tire valve/tire pressure sensor, otherwise the mounting head will damage the tire pressure sensor.

- Position mounting head - 1 - in vicinity of tire valve/ tire pressure sensor so that tire iron can be put on approximately 30° next to tire valve/ tire pressure sensor - 2 -.

- Install press holders - 3 - on disc wheel opposite the mounting head - 1 -.

- Now pry tire bead over mounting finger on mounting head using tire iron and remove tire iron again.

- Let the tire dismounting/mounting machine run clockwise until upper bead lies completely above the rim flange.






This slides the press holders - 1 - against the mounting head. This allows them to be removed again easily.

- Turn wheel on tire mounting device so that tire valve/ tire pressure sensor - 2 - stands in front of mounting head - 1 -.






Mounting head - 1 - must not be located in area - a - of tire valve/tire pressure sensor, otherwise the mounting head will damage the tire pressure sensor.

- Position mounting head - 1 - in vicinity of tire valve/ tire pressure sensor so that tire iron can be put on approximately 30° next to tire valve/ tire pressure sensor - 2 -.

- Now pry tire bead over mounting finger of mounting head using tire iron - 3 -.

- In addition, insert a plastic mounting lever - 4 -.

- Remove tire iron - 3 - again.

- Using plastic mounting lever - 1 -, hold bead in place over the rim flange from outside and let tire mounting device run clockwise until tire has been pulled off completely from disc wheel.






• Check tire pressure sensor for loose or damaged parts. If threaded connections are loose, union nut, valve insert, seal, sealing washer and valve cap must be replaced by new parts from repair set => Electronic Replacement Parts Catalog "ETKA".

• If tire pressure sensor is damaged, then it must be replaced completely.
