OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
REMOVING THE WHEEL
1. Chock the wheels opposite the jack.
2. Jack up the vehicle
3. Crib the vehicle with safety stands or blocking devices after jacking it
up. Do not work under an unblocked load.
DANGER
Failure to chock the wheels and crib the vehicle can result in
Serious injury or death.
4. Remove the valve core; deflate tires completely. (See Fig.1)
5. Insert a thin piece of wire through the valve stem to make sure air is
flowing freely and the valve stem is not blocked. NOTE: Deflate both
tires if you have a dual mounting.
DANGER
Always deflate tires before removing a wheel, a rim, or part of a rim
clamp or nut. If you do not deflate the tire, the tire could explode,
causing serious injury of death.
6a. If you are breaking the tire bead with the wheel on the vehicle: Pro-
ceed to Step 1 below, “Positioning the Bead Breaker.”

USING THE 11005 BEAD BREAKERS
Positioning the Bead Breaker
Place the bead breaker into the continuous pry bar pocket, with the hook
under the lip of the bead seat band. (Fig.2) Position the bead breaker so
that it is about 30o, or at least 12 inches [0.3 m], to one side of the flange
butt weld. Adjust the ram adjusting screw, by hand, so that the bead
breaker is less than perpendicular (90o) to the wheel. (Fig. 2) Stand to
one side of the bead breaker. Hold the bead breaker with one hand.
(Fig. 3)
Always stand to one side of the rim when using the bead breaker. Stand-
ing to one side of the bead breaker allows you to maintain control of the
bead breaker. If it is not seated properly and flies off the rim, the bead
breaker could cause serious injury or death.
Activating the Bead Breaker
The bead breaker uses a long stroke and high force. Be careful not to
damage or bend rim parts, such as the flange butt weld, when using the
bead breaker.
1. Turn on the hydraulic pump to activate the bead breaker.
2. Apply enough hydraulic pressure to the bead breaker to push the flange
about ½-3/4 inch [13-19 mm] from the lip of the bead seat band.

3. If the bead breaker moves and is no longer vertical, read just the ram ad-
justing screw. You must release pressure before adjusting the screw.
4. Continue applying hydraulic pressure until the flange is about ¾ - 1 inch [19
-25 mm] from the lip of the bead seat band.
5. Place a nut or similar object between the flange and the lip of the bead seat
band. (Fig. 4)
To prevent personal injury, lay the nut on the flange and slide it into posi-
tion with two screwdrivers. Do not put your fingers under the bead seat
band.
6. Release hydraulic pressure.
Continuing to Break the Tire Bead
1. Move the bead breaker away from the flange butt weld, 2-3 feet [0.5-1.0 m]
from its present position.
2. Follow the steps in “Activating the Bead Breaker” above.
3. 3. Continue advancing the bead breaker around the rim, 2-3 feet [0.5-1.0
m] at a time, breaking the tire bead.
4. Stop breaking the tire bead when you have moved the bead breaker about
¾ of the way around the rim. (Fig. 5)
To prevent damage to the rim, do not use the bead breaker within 12
inches of the flange butt weld.
5. Apply enough pressure to the bead breaker to completely break the tire
bead.
6. Release the hydraulic pressure.
NOTE: If you have gone all the way around the tire and the tire bead does not
break: Repeat the steps in “Activating the Bead Breaker” and “Continuing
to Break the Tire Bead” above, with more hydraulic pressure.

INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Removing the Lock Ring and O-Ring
1. Remove the lock ring with two pry bars. Start at the split in the ring
and then work the tools around the ring (See Fig. 6)
2. Place a pry bar or screwdriver under the O-Ring and pull it out from
the groove in the rim. Cut the O-Ring with a knife to ensure that a
new O-Ring is used. (Fig. 7)
Removing the Bead Seat Band
1. Carefully lift the bead seat band off the rim. Use pry bars and the
AME Intl. Flange Ring Puller Model 93000.
2. Carefully remove the flange from this side of the tire.
Breaking the Bead on the Other Side
1. When the wheel is on the vehicle, use the bead breaker to break the
back tire bead, following the same procedure used on the front tire bead.
If the wheel is on the vehicle, you may need to use a smaller ram, such
as an AME Intl. 13060, between the frame of the vehicle and the back
flange ( See Figure 8) Repeat the steps in “USING THE 11005 BEAD
BREAKERS” on pages 2 and 3.
2. If the tire is still on the vehicle: Remove the tire using a boom truck
and tire sling (AME Intl. Model 91000). Remove the back flange to the
complete the disassembly.
3. Remove the rear rim flange from the rim.

To avoid serious personal in-
jury, always wear proper pro-
tective gear, such as hard
hats, safety glasses, gloves,
and steel toe shoes when us-
ing hydraulic equipment.
Failure to chock the wheels
and crib the vehicle can re-
sult in Serious injury or
death. Always deflate tires
before removing a wheel, a
rim, or part of a rim clamp or
nut. If you do not deflate the
tire, the tire could explode,
causing serious injury of
death. Always stand to one
side of the rim when using
the bead breaker. Standing to
one side of the bead breaker

MOUNTING AND INFLATION
Jacking Up the Vehicle
1. Chock the wheels opposite the jack.
2. Jack up the vehicle.
3. Crib the vehicle with safety stands or blocking devices after jacking it
up. Do not work under an unblocked load.
Failure to chock the wheels and crib the vehicle
can result in serious injury or death.
Inspecting the Tire and Rim
Always replace damaged or badly worn tires. When replacing tires,
always use a replacement of exactly the same diameter. Destroy
old tires, so that they cannot be used. Using badly worn or dam-
aged tires can result in serious injury or death.
1. Inspect all rim parts for damage.
Always replace rim parts that are bent, badly rusted, pitted from corro-
sion, cracked, worn, or damaged. Destroy old rim parts, so they cannot be
used. Using damaged rim parts can result in serious injury or death.
Do not mix parts from one rim with parts from another rim. Always use
replacement parts that You can positively identify as the CORRECT re-
placement parts. All replacement rim parts MUST match the replacement
part numbers stamped on the rim parts, Rims with different part numbers
cannot be interchanged. If in doubt about sizing, DO NOT reassemble the
rim. Contact the rim manufacturer for more information.
2. Replace damaged Parts
Never weld on an inflated or partially inflated tire/rim assembly. Welding
on an inflated tire/rim assembly can cause an explosion and serious injury
or death. Do not rework, weld, heat or braze any rim parts for any reason.
Reworking and welding damaged parts can result in serious injury or
death.
3. Clean and repaint rim parts as necessary.
NOTE: Remove rust, dirt and foreign material from rim parts. Repainting
the rim parts and bare metal areas will make them last longer. Be careful to
keep paint out of the lock ring groove in the gutter when repainting rim
parts.
4. Visually inspect all tire and rim parts to make sure they are positioned prop-
erly.
