A tool for mounting and demounting of large tires from associated multi-piece wheel rims. The tool includes upper and lower tubular arms each having a length adapted to span the diameter of a demountable tire retaining flange of the wheel rim while oriented perpendicular to the axis of the wheel and tire assembly. Each arm has pusher plates dependent therefrom adapted to engage the outer periphery of the tire bead retaining flange. The arms are connected by a pivot bolt so that the same can pivot relative to one another about the axis of the wheel assembly and are lockable in a given transverse crossing orientation. A pair of hold down bolts are carried on each arm spaced from one another to correspond with the diameter of the wheel disc mounting bolt hole pattern for insertion of the bolts through diametrically-opposed pairs of wheel mounting bolt holes. A pair of mounting plates are threadably received individually, one on each of the hold down bolts adapted to engage the underside of the wheel disc upon tightening of the associated hold down bolt.

A tool for mounting and demounting of large tires from associated multi-piece wheel rims including in combination: a lower arm having a length adapted to span the diameter of a demountable tire retaining flange of the wheel rim while oriented perpendicular to the axis of the wheel and tire assembly, said lower arm having pusher plates dependent therefrom adapted to engage the outer periphery of the tire bead retaining flange, an upper arm also adapted to span the diameter of said flange and to rest upon said lower arm with its longitudinal axis extending transversely of the longitudinal axis of the lower arm, said upper arm having a pair of pusher plates dependent therefrom adapted to seat on the outer periphery of said flange with said upper arm resting on said lower arm, means interconnecting said upper and lower arms so that the same can pivot relative to one another about the axis of the wheel assembly, said connecting means being operable to fix the upper and lower arms rigidly in a given transverse crossing orientation, a first pair of hold down bolts carried on said upper arm one on either side of said arm interconnecting means and being spaced from one another to correspond with the diameter of the wheel disc mounting bolt hole pattern for insertion of said bolts through a diametrically-opposed pair of wheel mounting bolt holes, and a pair of mounting plates threadably received individually one on each of said first hold down bolts adapted to engage the underside of the wheel disc upon tightening of the associated hold down bolt.
