- 2024-08-29: Added instruction for wheel disposal.
Warning
Always read and understand the tire equipment operator’s manual
and on-screen instructions before operating the wheel balancer or tire
changer.
Warning
Always make sure
to properly secure the wheel, and that no one moves close to any moving parts
when in use. Additionally, make sure your hair, jewelry, and clothing will not
get caught by moving parts.
Warning
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including
cut-resistant gloves and safety glasses when performing this procedure.
Warning
The machine must be
operated by no more than one person at a time. Other persons must maintain a safe distance
of at least three feet from equipment while in use.
Warning
Never use equipment that is defective or not working as
expected based on the equipment operator’s manual.
Warning
If the vehicle has air
suspension, activate "Jack" mode on the touchscreen before raising and
supporting the vehicle.
Note
Vehicles with air suspension might need the suspension
to be set to "High" or "Very High" to allow the vehicle to be positioned and
supported correctly on a vehicle lift.
Note
These instructions are based on the Hunter GSP9700 wheel balancer. Some steps
might be different for other wheel balancers. Refer to the operator's manual and
on-screen instructions for specific information.
Remove
- Remove the wheel. See Wheel Assembly (Remove and Install).
-
Use a valve core tool to remove the valve core, and allow the tire to
deflate.
WarningThe tire will rapidly deflate. Wear proper PPE, such as safety glasses and gloves.
- Place the wheel on the tire machine, with the front of the wheel facing up.
- Position the center clamp in the wheel.
- Position the wheel cone on the center clamp and wheel, and then tighten the cone on the center clamp.
- Position the upper bead roller at the edge of the upper rim, and then positon the lower bead roller at the edge of the lower rim.
-
Rotate the wheel to loosen the upper and lower tire beads. Lubricate the
beads as the wheel rotates.
CAUTIONThe TPMS sensor is near the rim. Do not damage the TPMS sensor when loosening the upper bead.
-
Position the tire machine arm at the edge of the rim, and then use a bead
lever to hook the arm on the upper tire bead.
CAUTIONPosition the TPMS sensor ahead of the tire machine arm so that when the wheel rotates, the arm does not damage the TPMS sensor.
-
Rotate the wheel to pull the upper tire bead above the rim. Lubricate the
bead as the wheel rotates.
CAUTIONMake sure the tire machine arm does not contact the TPMS sensor.
-
Lift the tire and repeat the 2 previous steps on the lower tire bead, and
then remove the tire from the wheel.
CAUTIONMake sure the tire machine arm does not contact the TPMS sensor.
- Remove the nut that attaches the TPMS sensor to the wheel, and then remove the sensor from the wheel.
- Remove the cone and center clamp from the wheel, and then remove the wheel from the tire machine.
Install
- Position the new wheel on the tire machine, with the front of the wheel facing up.
- Position the center clamp in the wheel.
- Position the wheel cone on the center clamp and wheel, and then tighten the cone on the center clamp.
- Inspect the TPMS seal and replace the seal if it is damaged.
-
Position the TPMS sensor on the wheel, and then install the nut that
attaches the sensor to the wheel.
- Lubricate both tire beads.
-
Inspect both sides of the tire sidewall to determine proper tire
orientation in relation to the wheel.
NoteLook for an arrow that indicates rotation direction, or words such as "outside" or "side facing outwards".
- Position the tire on top of the wheel, and then move the tire machine arm into position to install the lower tire bead.
-
Rotate the wheel to install the lower tire bead.
CAUTIONMake sure the tire machine arm does not contact the TPMS sensor.
- Move the tire machine arm into position to install the upper tire bead.
-
Rotate the wheel to install the upper tire bead.
CAUTIONMake sure the tire machine arm does not contact the TPMS sensor.
-
Carefully inflate the tire to specification. The tire beads will seat
against the wheel.
WarningDo not exceed the air pressure indicated on the tire sidewall.CAUTIONWear proper PPE, such as safety glasses and gloves.
- Use a valve core tool to install the valve core.
- Remove the cone and center clamp from the wheel, and then remove the wheel from the tire machine.
- Balance the wheel and tire. See Tire - Front - LH (Balance).
Dispose
Note
If the wheel was replaced due to
damage but is still judged to be reusable from a technical point of view, make sure
to properly dispose of the wheel. See Wheel Disposal (Rework) and add correction code
34015007 as a separate activity to the Service visit.
