Figure 81—Disassembly for Front Wheel Removal
c. Install. Before applying casing to rim, see that rubber rim strip is in place in rim well and that rim strip valve hole alines with valve hole in rim.
(1) Start either bead of casing over rim edge. Work around wheel until entire bead is on rim.
(2) Place inner tube in casing. NOTE: Inner tube may be placed in casing before or after first bead of casing is on rim. Insert valve stem through hole in rim and start valve stem lock nut. While pressing first bead into rim well, work remaining bead over edge of rim, starting directly opposite valve stem. Work both ways around wheel toward valve.
(3) Inflate front tire to 18 pounds, and rear tire to 20 pounds.
(4) Reinstall front wheel (par. [125]): reinstall wheel (par. [127]). CAUTION: Tire casings are balanced and must be applied to rim with balance mark located at valve stem. On Firestone tires the balance mark is a red triangle, and on Goodyear tires a red dot.
124. RIMS AND SPOKES.
a. Wheels with broken and or missing spokes, with rims in badly kinked and or distorted condition, or having considerable run‐out, must be replaced.
b. Loose wheel spokes must be tightened evenly, being careful not to distort rim out‐of‐round or cause run‐out. Use spoke nipple wrench (41–W–3339) for front wheel spokes, and wrench (41–W–3340) for rear wheel spokes.
