Webb and Bates wheels..........
Do not stand in front of these wheels after removing the lug nuts. They will
pop off and really put a hurting on you. Best to loosen them up (the lug
nuts) and then tap the cleat (wedge) with a hammer to get them loose. Also
you should never remove the tires with them still inflated. Remove the valve
cores and after they are flat, remove them.
When reinstalling the wheels, check the wheel studs and nuts for wear.
Replace them if suspect and put a little "never-sieze" pipe thread compound
on them to keep them in good order. It is so much easier to replace a
stripped, bent or stretched stud with the wheel off that with the wheel assy
still on....
For all of your tire supply needs, Myers Tire Supply. They are nation wide.
