Tire rmoval on a F20 with a split rim

SDE · Oct 12, 2013

I jacked the tire up and have drained as much fluid out as I could. Can I remove the tire, with the wheel and cast center still on the tractor? How do you remove the ring? Does it require a special tool to wedge into a gap and then pry it up? I took a hammer and a bar and tried to unseat the ring but if it can be done that way, I will need a bigger hammer and another hand. I have read some warnings but no one covered how to remove the ring, other than to put the pry bar in the gap.
Thank you

when I do those type rims I will lay it on the ground and spread the forks out on the bobcat. push the sides of the tire down with the forks and them take a 4 pound mallet to knock loose the ring from the rim. go all the way around a couple times to get it knocked loose. even with no air pressure that tire will still have a bit of pressure against that ring
