The steps for wheel removal are: 1. Use specialized tools or equipment; 2. Do not use a sledgehammer to strike heavily or use sharp tools; 3. Before disassembly, check whether the tools and equipment are in good condition; 4. Before replacing the tire, the tire valve core must be removed first, and all the air in the tire must be released; 5. During tire removal, no personnel should be in front of the tire; 6. Secure the tire on the tire removal machine and check whether the tire is firmly fixed on the machine; 7. For split-type tires, place them on a flat surface to remove the nuts and bolts on the joint surface; 8. Use the tire removal machine to loosen the tire from the steel rim, and use a specialized tire removal pry bar to pry out the elastic locking ring on the rim; 9. After prying out the elastic locking ring, use the tire removal machine to press out the tire; 10. After the tire is disassembled, conduct a comprehensive inspection of the steel rim, elastic locking ring, elastic locking ring groove, retaining ring, and other components; 11. Focus on checking whether the above components have wear, cracks, deformation, rust, or damage to the tire bead and carcass. Replace any components that show excessive wear, deformation, cracks, or damage.
