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).
