    HMMVW Rims separation & run-flat insert removal + Hutchenson beadlock insert install

    Did you replace the O rings? Shouldnt use the old O rings. Recheck the torque on the wheel bolts. I torqued them to 115 ft lbs I had one with a side wall puncture that only leaked when the hole was on the bottom

    Also I used a large jack stand to remove the rear of the wheel. The legs fit on the wheel surface betwix the studs. Hit the top of the jack stand with a sledge...pop off it goes!

    HMMVW Rims separation & run-flat insert removal + Hutchenson beadlock insert install

    Bought some MTRs for my M1008 unfortunately out of 7 tires I got two that hold air! 5 have sidewall damage! Anyone have any tips for REMOVING Trailworthy PVC inserts? I used a floorjack to make them oval for the install but the only way I can get them out is to cut the sidewall on the tire. Ideas?
