G744,G744 said:In my post I am referring to the current thread following the use of either steel or alloy 22.5 one-piece commercial wheels as found on motorhomes and such. Plugging a flat from a nail or such is easy on a tubeless, but a sidewall rip or puncture requires a breakdown at best to use an internal boot.
That is, unless you spend all your time on the highway, where a cellphone is probably the tool of choice.
Now, at this point, once the tire is fully inflated and the bead is seated, I have to think you are past the danger point and at the point where it is safe to remove it from it's tire cage, chain, etc.?
That true but the only time is is really safe is when there is no air in the tire.It should take no more than 5 psi to seat beads and lock rings.
When fully inflated, you have a force of more than 40,000 pounds against the rim flange. Locking rings or other components may be propelled at speeds up to 130 miles per hour.
Under-inflated tires on multi-piece or split rim wheels may be re-inflated while the wheel is on the vehicle only when pressure has not dropped below
80% of the recommended pressure.
If you drive it any when flat DON"T air it back up till you take off and break it down. Wayne
I have a Hanco tailer tire I want to change. I bought a brand new tire from the auction. Do I have to take it to a specialty tire place to get it changed? and is there a seal that goes in the split ring? If there is a seal where do I purchase one?Greg I do agree, although I have only done 2. I was terrified doing them just off of what I hear. I used a LARGE bucket loader to hold the rim on the ground. When I put my rims back together, I spent the time to wire wheel the ring and the rim to make sure it was nice and clean. I then wiped it all down before my assembly. I spent about 5 minutes on each rim checking for nicks and burrs that could be an issue and filed anything that needed it. The only thing I wish I had was a clip on air chuck.
I was quite suprised in the end how well it went.
