_Figure 81—Disassembly for Front Wheel Removal_]
=c. Install.= Before applying casing to rim, see that rubber rim strip is in place in rim well and that rim strip valve hole alines with valve hole in rim.
(1) Start either bead of casing over rim edge. Work around wheel until entire bead is on rim.
(2) Place inner tube in casing. NOTE: _Inner tube may be placed in casing before or after first bead of casing is on rim._ Insert valve stem through hole in rim and start valve stem lock nut. While pressing first bead into rim well, work remaining bead over edge of rim, starting directly opposite valve stem. Work both ways around wheel toward valve.
(3) Inflate front tire to 18 pounds, and rear tire to 20 pounds.
(4) Reinstall front wheel (par. 125): reinstall wheel (par. 127). CAUTION: _Tire casings are balanced and must be applied to rim with balance mark located at valve stem. On Firestone tires the balance mark is a red triangle, and on Goodyear tires a red dot._
=a.= Wheels with broken and or missing spokes, with rims in badly kinked and or distorted condition, or having considerable run‐out, must be replaced.
=b.= Loose wheel spokes must be tightened evenly, being careful not to distort rim out‐of‐round or cause run‐out. Use spoke nipple wrench (41-W-3339) for front wheel spokes, and wrench (41-W-3340) for rear wheel spokes.
=125. FRONT WHEEL REPLACEMENT= (fig. 81).
(1) Support vehicle on rear stand. Raise front end of vehicle by blocking up under frame loop on skid plate.
(2) Remove brake shackle bolt from rigid fork on left side of vehicle.
(3) Front axle is knock‐out type. Remove cotter pin and axle castle nut and pull out axle. Wheel is free for removal. CAUTION: _Before removing axle note how slot in brake stabilizer plate is fitted over the extended (button) end of the left‐front rocker plate stud. It is necessary that this be correctly assembled when replacing front wheel._
(4) Roll wheel forward and remove brake assembly from brake drum, leaving the assembly attached to brake control wire and control wire housing.
=b. Install= (fig. 81). NOTE: _At the time wheel and brake assembly is located in front fork, and before axle is installed, make sure that the curved slot in brake stabilizer plate engages with the button end of the left‐front rocker plate stud._
