Anyone know of a shop in Atlanta area that can break down a Hmmwv wheel? I need a new seal installed. Thx for any info.

@Elijah95 Used to live in your area and is not far from you. I'm sure he may be able to help.

Its actually easy to do yourself. Deflate, un-bolt, lift off upper plate, remove old o-ring or valve stem, clean mounting surfaces, lay new o-ring in groove, lay top plate back in place, carefully torque to spec as not to dislodge o-ring. re-inflate.

Its made to be able to be done in the field with hand tools.

I've learned from others on this forum and had great success with just a tiny amount of Slime on the seal, just as a precaution. It fills in any unevenness or scratches if present.

And I second DREDnot's opinion in his post. As long as you don't have to mess with the run flats, pretty simple. Follow torque specs!

Disassembly they can stick, so having some liquid tire lube (or some dish soap thinned down) around the edge of the rim to get into the gap as you pry will keep it from resticking itself as you go around
