    Something I didn't mention is that I smeered all with Murphy's oil soap to get a better, even, bead position when inflating. Just make sure to double check the lock ring before inflating and every 5 pounds while filling. Prefilling the tube in the tire before dropping in the wheel will help prevent sudden pressure changes as the tube unfolds. It ain't rocket science, It has been done millions of times by newbees at old time truck shops. Just don't do while stupid.

    Not having had to work on split rims since I was young and dumb, the only things I can think of to add is to be sure to avoid springing the ring during disassembly or reassembly. Inspect the locking surfaces for foreign matter that may prevent a solid lockup. Before airing up, visually inspect the entire circumference of the ring for a good fit. Make sure the ring can not escape in event of failure as has been discussed earlier. At the service station I used to work at, we didn't have a cage. We placed the tire under one arm of the lift when airing up.
