Renault Clio: Tyres: Removal - Refitting

REMOVAL

I - REMOVAL PREPARATION OPERATION

• Position the vehicle on a two-post lift (see Vehicle: Towing and lifting) (02A, Lifting equipment).
• Remove:
• the wheel in question (see 35A, Wheels and tyres, Wheel: Removal - Refitting, 35A-1),
  • the balance weights,
  • the valve mechanism.

II - OPERATION FOR REMOVAL OF PART CONCERNED

TYRE PRESSURE SENSOR

WARNING

To avoid any damage to the sensor, make sure the tyre bead never presses on the sensor.

• Detach:
  • the bead from the outside of the tyre, starting with the side opposite the valve,
  • the bead from the inside of the tyre.

• Position the tyre lever approximately 15 cm from the valve on the outside of the wheel rim in order to remove the exterior bead from the tyre.
• Remove the exterior bead of the tyre, finishing at the valve.
• Position the tyre lever approximately 15 cm from the valve on the outside of the wheel rim in order to remove the bead from inside the tyre.
• Remove the interior bead of the tyre, finishing at the valve.

REFITTING

I - REFITTING PREPARATION OPERATION

WITHOUT TYRE PRESSURE SENSOR

• parts always to be replaced: Tyre valve (13,05, 02,02)

• Lubricate the two tyre beads correctly using the TYRE PASTE (see Vehicle: Parts and consumables for the repair) (04B, Consumables - Products).

II - REFITTING OPERATION FOR PART CONCERNED

• Engage the lower tyre bead approximately 15 cm after the valve.
• Finish fitting the tyre at the valve.
• Fit the exterior bead approximately 15 cm after the valve using the tyre lever.
• Inflate the tyre to 3.5 bar to press the tyre beads against the wheel rim.

III - FINAL OPERATION

• Refit the valve mechanism.
• Inflate the tyre to the recommended pressure (see 35A, Wheels and tyres, Tyre pressure: Identification, 35A-15).

Note: It is not necessary to drive the vehicle before and after a new wheel is balanced.

• Balance the wheel (see 35A, Wheels and tyres, Wheel: Balancing, 35A-7).
• Refit the wheel in question (see 35A, Wheels and tyres, Wheel: Removal - Refitting, 35A-1).

Tyre: Repair

Perforation

There are two types of perforation:

• single perforation: perforation caused by nail etc. not requiring a reinforced tyre boot and which can be repaired when the tyres are cold,
• damage: rubber detachment etc. requiring repair and reinforcement of damaged plies.

This repair method only covers single perforations.

Tyre areas

Areas which cannot be repaired:

• tyre bead (1),
• shoulder (3).

Areas which can be repaired:

• sidewall (2),
• crown (4).

Perforation table *

LV: Light Vehicle
LCV: Light Commercial Vehicle
HGV: Heavy Goods Vehicle

* If the diameter of the puncture is greater than these figures, replace the tyre.

The tyre cannot be repaired if:

• a compulsory marking has been worn away (see 35A, Wheels and tyres, Tyres: Identification, 35A- 17),
• the interior of the tyre shows signs of under-inflation or overloading,
• the rubber shows signs of chemical damage (hydrocarbons and other corrosive substances),
• incorrect and irreversible repairs have previously been made to the tyre,
• the carcass has been damaged,
• cuts or circumferential wear (cracks) are visible on the interior or exterior of the tyre,
• the tyre bead has been damaged (ply visible),
• the tyre's bead wires are visible, damaged or deformed,
• the tyre shows an irregular wear pattern which may impair vehicle handling,
• the repair requires two tyre boots to be overlapped,
• the manufacturer has expressly prohibited any repairs, in writing,
• there is damage to the shoulder area (junction between the sidewall and the crown),
• the angle of the perforation channel (hole) is greater than 15
