How to mount a tire on a rim with a split locking ring. Dodge Power Wagon WM300 1967. My experience, not a how-to or recommended practice. Split rings are dangerous to mount and especially inflate. Take OSHA precautions.
It's a valve stem. The schrader is the core that goes inside the valve stem. Lay the wheel on the ground. Roll the tire over to it with the valve stem lined up to the hole in the wheel. Lean the tire at a 45ﾟ angle and do not put it on. Take your thumb and bend the valves down toward the hole and it will drop right in and then just let go of the tire it should fall on with very little effort. Take the shrader out. This will deflate the tire and make it easier. Put the lock ring on with the lock 180ﾟ away from the valve and step on one side of the broken lock with your toe and it should fall under the lip. Keep your toe in place and step around the ring and it should snap right in place. A little lube on it where the bead goes helps. If it doesn't snap into place. A little lite tap on the outer edge with a hammer should do the trick.
Hi Dave,my name is Greg,and I fix split rim tires,I watched your video on the mounting of the split rim 9.00-16lt tire,can i give you some pointers that you don't know about,such as before you put the tube in the tire,look for any labels that are inside the tire and can put a hole in the tube,when putting the tire on the rim,lay the rim on the ground,it is a better way of doing it,when airing the tire up use small hammer to tap the ring in place,then use a safety cage,
The extreme danger is in the course of airing up the assembly. If the ring is not exactly locked, the wheel components can fly apart during inflation. Ensure that a tire cage is used together with a clip-on air chuck that permits the mounter to be away from the cage during the inflation process.
That's what I was thinking. I guide the valve core into the slot. Drop the tire/tube/flap on in one motion. Looks like he had too much air in the tube to start. Shouldn't have that much trouble with the flap.
