Weld-on Beadlock with Integrated Anti Coning Techonolgy Installation
Works with most steel wheel *
Materials needed per wheel:
32 - 3/8” x 1.75” grade 8 bolts
32 – 5/16” flat washers
32 – 3/8” nylock nuts.
Step one
Use proper safety equipment
(face shield, gloves, hearing protection,
etc.).
Step two
Using a grinder slightly bevel
both the inner and outer edges of all rings to
reduce the sharpness of the edges. A flap
type sanding disk (~120 grit) works well.
Step three
Using a grinder remove the
paint, chrome, etc. from the face of the
wheel. The whole area where the inner ring
(smaller in diameter) contacts the wheel
should be bare metal. As seen in the
following picture.
Step four
Center the inner ring (smaller in
diameter) within the lip of the rim. The ring
should be sitting down inside the outer edge
of the wheel. There should be a small gap
between the edge of the wheel and the
edge of the ring as seen in the following
picture. This gap aids in weld prep and
allows for slight differences between wheel
brands.
Step five
Tack weld the edge of the ring to
the inner lip of the wheel, skipping around
the wheel a few inches at a time.
Step six
Fully weld the ring to the wheel
making sure the weld is of high quality (all
welding should be performed by a certified
welder). Make sure the weld is air-tight if
not you will have a leak.
Step seven
Grind down the weld flush
with the flat surface of the inner ring and
deburr all edges making sure that the
surface is free of voids from welding.
Step eight
Bend all of the Integrated Anti
Coning tabs upward 90 deg. A large
crescent wrench works well for this task.
You will have to take bent both sides of
each tab up a little at a time until they are as
shown in the following picture.
Step nine
After all of the tabs are bent
upright place a weld on the outer edge of
each tab as shown in the following picture.
Step ten
Clean the wheel of all grinding
dust and degrease.
Step eleven
Mask off all wheel surfaces to
remain unpainted.
Step twelve
Apply a primer to the inner
ring and welded area, see primer can for
manufacturer’s directions.
Step thirteen
Apply desired paint to wheel
using the same directions as for the above
steps.
Step fourteen
Repeat priming and painting
steps on the outer ring. Allow all painted
surfaces to properly dry.
Step fifteen
Install the inner bead of the tire
over the front edge of the wheel, a light
spray of soapy water or tire lube is helpful
here. At this point the tire should be sitting
with only the rim inside the inner bead of the
tire and the outer bead of the tire sitting
outside the rim against the outer surface of
the wheel.
Step sixteen
Apply a bead of silicone
between the inside of the tire and the
outside edge of the inner ring.
Step seventeen
Place the outer ring on
the tire and insert a bolt with washer and
nylock nut in 4 holes evenly spaced around
the wheel, then finger tighten bolts, making
sure the tire is centered on the wheel.
Step eighteen
Install remaining bolts,
washers, and nylock nuts.
Step nineteen
Tighten all bolts to 15 – 20
lbs/feet. You will need to make several
passes before this can be accomplished.
