Abstract

The process of tyre removal as it is being done in developing economies before repair and replacement after repair requires so much human effort and is prone to accident.This article reports the development and testing of an improved technology which is a modification on the existing technology for bead breaking,tyre removal and insertion which overcomes a significant percentage of the drawbacks of the technology currently in use.The development considered the ease of operation, direction of application of force and the amplification of input effort. Performance evaluation was carried out for tyre of rim sizes14 and 15 inches and the results show that the overall time taken for the entire bead breaking and tyre insertion process is shorter than that required for conventional bead breaking device.
