During demounting, over-lubrication and/or an
unusually shaped rim edge may cause the tyre
to slip on the rim, making demounting difficult.
First, try using the bead breaker disc in an
upward direction to raise the tyre. Otherwise,
to speed up the procedure simply place the
PTS accessory between the tyre and the edge
of the rim. This will allow the bead to be lifted
quickly off the rim so that it can be demounted.
During demounting, if the tool is unable to
completely overturn the tyre bead to allow
demounting to start, the tyre bead may still
be, or just have been, inserted at 180° to
the demounting zone. In this case it is es-
sential to restore the ideal condition, with
the tyre bead inside the well of the rim. This
operation can be assisted with any tool you
wish (clamp provided, pliers, bead presser
or lever).
During demounting, if the tool is unable to keep the tyre
bead engaged to allow demounting to start, the tyre
bead may still be inserted on the underside. Use the
lower bead breaker disc in an upward direction both
to break the tyre bead again and to help to maintain
a grip on it.
