Changing tires- Best way

[RedBlok]

Hey guys- I have a M927 A2 with 3 tires suffering from dry rot and a leaking CTIS system. I am going to eliminate the CTIS with a kit from "Those Military Guys". I am ordering the seals for the hubs. My Mechanic and I have a couple of questions regarding - what is the best way to change the tires? Do you just split the rim, remove the old tire and replace the seal then rejoin the wheel? Or to you use levers to take the tire off? I could always just take it to a truck tire shop and have them do it.

Take the tire off the truck. Deflate. Remove beadlock nuts, break the bead on the beadlock nut side first then the backside. Disassemble.

Replace the wheel o ring and the valve steam seal when you change tires.. depending on The beadlock nut size will depend on what o ring you need for the wheel. A2s are A PAIN to on and off the hubs in the rear. Whoever designed it wasn't changing the tire

Thank you

If you can tell me what size socket fits the beadlock nuts on your tires. It will be either a 15/16 or 1-1/8" Or a picture of your tire i can tell you what O rings you will need to obtain

And dont waste your money on that crap from TMG CTIS kit. Dont need it. take ctis stuff off rims, use RTV to plug holes up front and take one of the rear valves to your local hardware and get a plug for rear hubs. I had thought it was 3/4 boss but that was not what mine was....and unplug box on shifter.

For taking the assy. off the rear axles, i first used 3/4” black pipe, slid over the studs and could walk it off. I had 2 solid rods drilled/tapped for the stud and threaded them on but it didnt work as well as the black pipe.
It took me about 15 min to rmv and reinstall a rear assy. after putting it on backwards.
as for ctis, i went to a hyd shop and got 4 plugs that are an oring boss. He said the plugs a 3/4” british type threading.
