F20 split rims

How does the one piece ring come off on the Firestone 36" split style rims? Do u first remove the bolt and spread the rim to allow the ring to come out? Was this procedure covered anywhere? It s not in any of my manuals...
I am aware of the need to be careful with these, clean all the rust, make sure ring seats correctly, etc.

I think that Bolt is an afterthought.
All the F twenties I have seen do not
have that Bolt strap arrangement. I
think it was done by a prior owner. Not
by the factory. However I think that is
a good idea. Safety feature.
 
First you have to dismount the rim from the hub then remove bolt and collapse rim slightly to allow outer ring to be removed put 2 or 3 chains around tie and rim when inflating !!! if you have a lock on fill nozzle use that put about 5 pounds in it then gently tap the outer ring to make sure it is seated. leave the chains on until fully inflated !
BE CAREFUL!
 
Thanks will do. I have experience with truck wheels and always respect messing with any tires. Hated to dig into this right now but tube has a leak. Really need to sandblast and paint them at this point.
