- Lift the bead breaker (10) clear of the base (13).
- Place the wheel flat on the base (13), locating the rim on the angled stop welded to the pedestal base. Position the bead breaker under the rim flange (fig.1). Depending on the size of the tyre it may be necessary to adjust the height of the bead breaker (7). Remove clevis pins (5), reposition bead breaker to suit the tyre and refit clevis pins.
