ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for removing tires from heavy vehicle wheel rims having an integral sealing lip on one side and a removable sealing ring secured in place by a locking ring on the other, is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a frame, a support member mounted on the frame and adapted to engage the inside diameter of the rim to support the wheel, a movable member located on the axis of the support member and adapted to contact the sealing ring and move it inwardly, so as to free the locking ring, thereby permitting removal of the locking ring and the subsequent removal of the sealing ring, and means for moving the movable member toward the support member.
