ATV Deep Dish Rims
1. After the bead of the tire has been broken away from the wheel (see section 1), place
the tire/rim assembly over the center post with the valve stem
facing up.
2. Place the 3/8” pin through any lug hole of the ATV wheel and turn
the
wheel clockwise until the pin contacts the nearest fin, centering the
wheel on the machine. Install the ATV mounting plate. Place the shaft support
barrel over the threaded rod and mounting plate and secure with round nut. Hand
tighten only.
3. Once the tire is securely held in place, apply adequate amount of Bead-Eze® (or
similar tire lubricant) to tire bead. Do not use flammable materials when servicing
tires and wheels.
4. Next, place the demount (straight) end of the Tire Snake™ in between the tire and
the rim at a point closest to you, with the flat side of the demount end against the
rim and the rounded side against the tire bead (photo A, page 11). The optional
large tire snake is recommended (available separately). Push the bar forward, lifting
the bead over the rim until you hear the “click” of the Tire Snake™ as it positions
correctly against the rim. The Tire Snake should be positioned so you can use the
center post for support when pulling the bar (photo B).
5. Pull the bar toward you around the center post in a clockwise, circular motion to
demount the bead (photo C).
