Precautions
CAUTION: Do not use hand tools or tire irons alone to change tires as this may cause damage to tire beads or wheel rims.
Aluminum wheel rim bead seats should be cleaned with a non-abrasive cleaner to remove tire mounting lubricants and old rubber. Before mounting or dismounting a tire, the bead area should be well lubricated with a ready-to-use liquid soap that meets Ford specification ESR-M99B135-A.
After mounting, inflate the tire so its beads are completely sealed. Install the valve core and inflate the tire to the proper pressure.
Replacement
Follow the instructions provided with the Rotunda Deluxe Tire Changer 104-00291 or equivalent.
