A tire/wheel bead entrapment remover is disclosed. The tire/wheel bead
entrapment remover includes one or more working assemblies having a
circumferential perimeter that substantially engages a tire. The one ore
more working assemblies axially-moves one of a wheel of the tire mounted
to the wheel while axially-fixing the other of the tire or the wheel to
remove one or more entrapments between a bead of the tire and a beat seat
of the wheel. According to an embodiment, a tire/wheel bead entrapment
remover includes one or more wheels that engages an outboard surface or
an inboard surface of a tire mounted to a wheel. The radial axis extends
through the one or more wheels. The radial axis traverses a radial line
that radially extends from a common axis of rotation of the tire and the
wheel. A method for removing an entrapment from a tire/wheel assembly is
also disclosed.
