| First:
Un-bolt all 32 bolts from the bead lock ring and remove the ring
from the wheel. |
|
|
|
| Next,
push the tire down over rim. No machinery is needed, simple hand
pressure will suffice. |
|
|
|
| The
next thing you want to do is center the tire outer bead over the
inner lock ring. Place the outer bead-locking ring over tire. Our
outer lock ring actually fits the tire bead! |

|
|
| Start
4 bolts at the 12 O'clock, 6, 3 & 9 O'clock positions. Snug all
4 down evenly a little at a time in a cross pattern until the lock
ring "sucks" down into the tire bead. This will allow the tire and
lock ring to center on the wheel. We have seen beadlock designs
where the lock ring does not properly fit the bead of the tire. On
these, the tire bead under the ring wants to squirm, making it a
real pain to get the whole thing centered and evenly bolted down.
These lock rings fit and are a cinch.
NOTE: If bolts seem too
short: They
are not. Use 4 longer bolts to get the ring started. The ring will
SUCK DOWN into the bead area of the tire. Then the bolts supplied
will work fine. remember to replace the four longer bolts with
the Grade 8 bolts supplied once you have the rest of the bolts
started. |

| Thread in the
28 remaining bolts. |
|
|
|
| Snug
down a few bolts on one side, then cross over and do a few, then a
different side, and so on, snugging bolts down in about 3 stages of
tightness. Final bolt tightness should be set with a torque wrench
at 15 ft-lbs. Do not over-tighten. (The Impact wrench we are
using has a calibrated regulator to accurately set
torque) |
| Note: For vehicles
over 6,000 lbs. run tire
pressure at 25 psi to avoid bolt breakage. Vehicles that are
6,000 lbs. or less you can run tire pressure up to 30 psi. |
