    Dude, You can search Google, and search this forum. The TM's are for FREE as listed in this forum, and several other places. Then you can also search the index on the TM's. I posted videos for you. Did you even watch them? I recognize that English might not be your first language BUT there...

    Tyre replacement with runflat

    beehumvee, please read the TM's and watch the videos I posted to understand how things work. You're asking basic questions that a little reading and a little review of this forum will answer. The flare/wide portion at the inner aspect of the runflat device acts as a beadlock. It forces the...

    Tyre replacement with runflat

    Coug: The bead is constructed differently on the civilian H1 rims. The Military is angled and the civilian is square. It is unsafe to run military rims without a runflat/bead locker. I stand by what I said my friend. [EDIT - P.S. - I own both civilian and military specs Hummers, so I get to...

    I need to teach the 3 rope interlock method. I’ll try to make a video. Only rope. No wood. One rope tied to hoop up. One down. One then locks run flat into oval shape. The upper and lower ropes run through each other. So the hoop stays upright. Gotta draw a picture. Words fail me. Works every...

    Tyre replacement with runflat

    YIKES! I was referring to maybe a different method where the jack and it's base are on top of the tire and a chain is placed around the runflat and it is pulled free. No wood timbers involved. Coug, reread my post and didn't mean to sound so harsh.

    Tyre replacement with runflat

    You were told wrong. Very wrong. You need the grease with all runflats. Multiple posts on multiple forums about people who did not run grease and tires started smoking and also sustaining damage, because there was no lubricant b/t the run flat and the deflated tire.

    Tyre replacement with runflat

    Multiple YouTube videos on how to, as Craig points out above. I prefer the engine cherry-picker method for removing the runflats, but there are compression tools AND the 2 bumper car method technique. You need to compress and bend the runflat to insert it into your new tire. You need to...
