2-BAR DEMOUNT METHOD Beginning at the valve, remove the first bead using the curved end of the tire irons. Place the two irons 6-8" apart and “walk” through towards the center of the assembly, placing both irons on the opposite flange. This will lift the first bead up over the flange. Remove one of the irons, and continue to work it around the tire bead taking small “bites” until the entire bead is removed. 3-BAR DEMOUNT METHOD This method is similar to the 2 bar method with a third iron inserted 8" from the first two. With the first two irons, “walk” through towards the center of the assembly, placing both irons on the opposite flange. This will lift the first bead up over the flange. Leave both irons in this position. With the third iron, “walk” through towards the center of the assembly. This should remove the first bead from the wheel. Remove the third bar and take additional "bites" if necessary to fully remove the first bead from the wheel. Make sure to have adequate lubrication, and use the irons correctly to eliminate tire and/or wheel damage. 28 MICHELIN X One Tire Maintenance ® ®
