Removal and Replacement

REPAIRING LEAKS

CAUTION: Insure that the tire has been drained of all TIREFIT tire sealant. If not the tire will have to be properly drained before any tire service may be performed.





For proper repairing, a radial tire must be removed from the wheel. Repairs should only be made if the defect, or puncture, is in the tread area (1). The tire should be replaced if the puncture is located in the sidewall.


Deflate the tire completely before removing the tire from the wheel. Use lubrication such as a mild soap solution when dismounting or mounting tire. Use tools free of burrs or sharp edges which could damage the tire or wheel rim.


Before mounting tire on wheel, make sure all rust is removed from the rim bead and repaint if necessary.


Install wheel on vehicle. Tighten wheel bolts to proper torque specification: 110 Nm (81 ft. lbs.).
