MICHELIN x ONE TIRE – DEMOUNTING ® ® All tires must be completely deflated prior to loosening any nuts and demounting from the vehicle. Deflate the tire by removing the valve core. Check the valve stem opening with a wire to make sure it is not plugged. DO NOT USE HAMMERS of any type. Striking a wheel/rim assembly with a hammer can damage both the tire and the wheel and is a direct OSHA* violation. With the tire assembly lying flat, break the bead seat of both beads with a bead breaking tool. * Occupational Safety and Health Administration Apply the lubricant to all surfaces of the bead area on both sides of the tire.
