Tire fitting courses are in high demand, as are tire fitters themselves (tire fitters). Individual specialists are increasingly required for straightening and rolling discs, changing tires, and repairing them.
Universal tire fitters and tire fitters who know how to find an approach not only to cars, but also commercial vehicles, including special equipment, buses, "heavyweights" - trucks, road trains, tractors, are especially valued.
Tire fitting services are relevant in a variety of situations, for example:
Responsible training in tire fitting and balancing avoids a number of mistakes, among them:
Ideally, a specialist who has undergone comprehensive training in tire fitting and wheel balancing should have the following things bounce off their “teeth”:
One of the problems, if you want to get comprehensive knowledge and improve your skills in the field of tire fitting, is to find a suitable training center. Still, the direction is highly specialized, and it is not so easy to find it near the house. But thanks to modern technology, there is no need to look for tire fitting courses in Tyumen, a specific area of \u200b\u200bthe vast St. Petersburg, or even more so Moscow. You can purchase access to the electronic interactive program Tires, wheels and tire fitting on the ELECTUDE platform. Classes are available from anywhere in Russia, and not only in Russia, but also in other countries (the course organizers have representative offices in Belarus, Kazakhstan, Ukraine).
The software product is focused on modular learning. The program includes 16 training modules. Particular emphasis is placed on the arrangement of vehicle wheels, service operations, including maintenance and operation of discs, tires, tire pressure monitoring system. Estimated time for studying the material is 10 hours. But please note: this is an average time. Everyone can work at the most convenient rhythm for themselves and master the program at a more intensive or “stretched” pace.
In addition, it is important to understand that this is not just training, but a comprehensive certification system. Therefore, service station training centers have every opportunity to not only train specialists, but also organize an objective assessment of their competencies, and select worthy personnel for the tire repair area.
Certification system, “sharpened” for tire fitting, is 15 special test modules. The total time for passing the certification is 3 hours.
Products: brake cleaners, rim cleaner.
Equipment: all modern tire systems are powered by compressed air: pneumatic guns for loosening wheels, tire changer, inflation guns. Therefore, the main tool in tire fitting is a compressor. In 99% of cases, reciprocating compressors with a capacity of 400 lmin are used. These compressors require ISO VG 46 and 100 compressor oils, depending on the compressor manufacturer's recommendations. Oil change, on average, 200-250 hours when using mineral oils, that is, about once a month during the tire season. Using synthetic oils, such as Liqui Moly LM 500, article 4076, you can increase the compressor maintenance period up to two times a year.
The air gun is an essential tool for quick wheel removal. It has a lubricator lubrication system, that is, oil is supplied along with compressed air using a special lubricator-lubricator. In small tire shops, they save money on lubricators and periodically bury the oil directly into the air gun. To lubricate air guns, use Liqui Moly Oil fur Pneumatikgerat, part number 7841.

To carry out work, place the vehicle at the place where the brake is to be carried out. work and fix manually Raise the vehicle with a tire jack or scissor lift, unscrew the wheel fasteners and remove the wheel. Wash the wheel in a washing machine, dry it. Using the special tool, unscrew the valve and bleed air from the wheel. Remove balancing weights, if self-adhesive weights are used, then remove the remaining glue from the rim with a rag using Liqui Moly Dichtungs Entferner. It is necessary to carefully inspect the tread for stones stuck in the sipes, since wheel balancing is meaningless with a dirty tread. If you plan to install the tire back after repair, then it is necessary to mark the position of the nipple for inflation on the tire using a special marker or chalk. The tire is installed in the same position in which it was removed from the rim. Install the cleaned wheel on the tire changer and tear off the sidewall of the tire from the rim with a spatula (Fig. 1). Next, center the wheel on the clamps (1) of the machine Fig. 2, (use plastic protective pads when working with light alloy wheels) and completely separate the sidewall of the tire from the hump with a roller (Fig.
3). Before removing the tire from the rim, apply Liqui Moly Reifen Montierenpaste to the parts of the tire adjacent to the rim.
It is recommended to apply the paste with a flute-type brush, it is not recommended to use fly brushes (Fig. 4). Pry off the sidewall of the tire with a mounting spatula, bring it up by the heel of the machine (Fig. 5) and rotate the tire until the sidewall of the tire completely goes beyond the rim. Do the same with the bottom of the tire and remove the tire from the rim (Fig. 6).

| Figure 7 | Figure 8 | Figure 9 |
Before mounting a new or refurbished tire, be sure to replace the tubeless tire valve (fig. 7), clean the tire contact surface with a Reiniger und Ferdunner cleaner (fig. 8), place the rim in the wheel balancer (fig. 9) and check the runout of the rim .
To mount the tire, it is necessary to put the disk back into the clamps of the machine (Fig. 2). Before installing the tire, apply mounting paste to the sidewalls of the tire adjacent to the rim (Fig. 10) using a flute brush on both sidewalls of the tire. Put the tire on the disc using the machine's thrust pad (Fig. 5). Orient the tire according to the marks made earlier, in case of using a new tire, align the factory mark (yellow or white) with the tire valve by location. Inflate the tire, allow the sidewall to take the correct position on the hump of the rim, for which give an air pressure of 6-8 bar (when the tire is seated, a loud bang will occur). Check the tightness of the fit by using Leck Such Spray or immersion in a water bath. After checking the tightness, bring the pressure in the wheel to the nominal value and install it in the balancing machine.
