Step 1: Preparing Your Workspace
Before starting the installation, ensure you have a clean, spacious area to work. Gather all your tools and materials to avoid interruptions during the installation process.
Step 2: Removing the Old Wheels
Begin by safely lifting your vehicle using a jack. Secure it with jack stands for safety. Remove the lug nuts using a socket wrench and take off the old wheels.
Step 3: Preparing the Tires
Before mounting the new wheels, prepare your tires. If you’re using new tires, make sure they are compatible with beadlock wheels. Clean the tire beads and apply a lubricant to facilitate mounting.
Step 4: Mounting the Tires on the Beadlock Wheels
Place the tire onto the beadlock wheel. Ensure that the tire is seated properly on the wheel. Use a tire mounting machine if available to help with this process.
Step 5: Securing the Beadlock Ring
Once the tire is mounted, it’s time to secure the beadlock ring. Align the ring with the holes on the wheel and insert the beadlock hardware. Hand-tighten the bolts before using a torque wrench to tighten them to the manufacturer’s specifications.
Step 6: Inflating the Tires
Using an air compressor, inflate the tires to the recommended pressure. Check for any leaks around the beadlock area. If you notice any air escaping, ensure the beadlock ring is properly tightened.
Step 7: Installing the New Wheels on Your Vehicle
With the tires securely mounted and inflated, it’s time to install the new wheels on your vehicle. Align the wheel with the hub and hand-tighten the lug nuts. Once all wheels are in place, use a torque wrench to tighten the lug nuts to the manufacturer’s specifications.
Step 8: Final Checks
After installation, double-check all bolts and lug nuts to ensure they are secure. Lower your vehicle and take a moment to inspect the wheels and tires for any issues.
Step 9: Test Drive
Finally, take your vehicle for a test drive. Pay attention to any vibrations or unusual noises. If everything feels right, you have successfully installed your Pro Comp Beadlock Wheels!
