Installation:
1. Unpackage each Spyderlock wheel and inspect
contents for damage and/or missing components. If
there is damage or missing components please contact the distributor through which you purchased the
Spyderlock wheels. Using provided allen wrenches
remove beadlock ring and center cap from wheels.

2. Locate provided rubber valve stem. Insert threaded
end through the bottom side of the valve stem hole in
the wheel and thread on the valve stem puller tool. Pull
until the valve stem seats into the hole. Repeat for each
wheel. See figure 1.
From the bottom side, their should not be a gap between the rubber base of the valve stem and wheel
surface.
figure 1
3. Locate your tire and coat both sides of the bead
with some tire lubricant or soapy water. This will allow
the bead to seat easier. repeat for each tire.
See figure 2.
figure 2
4. Place your tire completely onto the wheel. Be sure
to place the same side down on all tires. All tires
have a tag on one side that says ‘DOT’. Place this
DOT tag either down or up on all tires. If your tires are
directional place two DOT tags down and two up.
See figure 3.
Often placing a 5 gallon bucket upside-down and under the wheel makes tire installation and seating of the
bead easier.
figure 3
5. Using your rubber mallet, tap the top bead of the
tire all around the rim to seat the top bead against the
beadlock lip (You do not need to worry about seating
the bottom bead at this time). Repeat for each wheel.
See figure 4.

page 2
6. Using a flathead screwdriver, tighten each threaded
insert by hand until they seat securely.
figure 5
7. Locate the outer beadlock ring and set in place on
top of the beadlock with the top bead of the tire seated and the threaded inserts installed. Line bolt holes in
outer beadlock ring to threaded inserts in wheel. The
open ‘windows’ in the beadlock ring should align with
the open ‘windows’ in the wheel. Repeat for each
wheel. See figure 6.
figure 6
8. Locate the 3/8” bolts and begin threading them
through the outer beadlock ring into the threaded
inserts by hand. Once all of the bolts are in place, use a
3/8” allen wrench to begin lightly tightening each bolt.
While tightening you should maintain a star pattern
(lightly tighten first bolt, next move directly across the
wheel and loosely tighten this bolt, next move 90
degrees to this bolt and the proceed directly accross
wheel). Continue this pattern until all bolts are lightly
tightened. Repeat for each wheel. See figure 7.
figure 7
9. Begin tightening all bolts on beadlock ring. While
tightening you should maintain a star pattern (tighten
the first bolt, next move directly across the wheel and
tighten this bolt, next move 90 degrees to this bolt
and the proceed directly across wheel). Continue this
pattern until all bolts are hand tight. Repeat for each
wheel. See figure 8.

10. Using you torque wrench and 3/8” allen head socket begin to torque each beadlock bolt to 25 ft-lbs following the same star pattern in step 9. Repeat for each
wheel. See figure 9.
After torquing check the consistency of the tires top
bead in relation to the beadlock ring. If the top bead
of the tire appears to have seated unevenly, remove
the beadlock ring and adjust tire to seat evenly.
figure 9
11. Stand the tire/wheel assembly upright. Using your
tire lube or soapy water, lubricate the back bead
where the bead and the wheel meet. See figure 10.
This allows the bottom bead to seat easier when airing
up the tire/wheel assembly.
figure 10
12. The tire/wheel assembly should be elevated off the
ground to allow the bottom bead to seat (a 5 gallon
bucket can be useful at home). Unscrew the cap off of
the valve stem. Begin adding air to the tire. Repeat for
each wheel. See figure 11.
DO NOT EXCEED THE TIRE MANUFACTURES RECOMMEND
AIR PRESSURE (printed on the sidewall of the tire). If the
bottom bead has not seated deflate the tire, add more
lubricant to the bottom bead and air the tire/wheel
assembly back up. KEEP ALL BODY PARTS AWAY FROM
BOTTOM BEAD WHILE IT IS SEATING! BODILY HARM CAN
OCCUR!
13. Once the bottom bead has seated against the
outer lip of the wheel, set desired air pressure, not to
exceed manufactures recommendation.

Bolt tire and wheel assembly to your vehicle (lug nuts
not provided). Repeat for each wheel. See figure 12.

14. Torque the wheel according to the axle/vehicle
manufactures torque specifications in the star pattern
that was used in step 9. Repeat for each tire/wheel assembly. See figure 13.
Always double check the lug nut torque after 25 miles
of driving and then again after 75 miles of driving.
figure 13
15. Using provided 1/4” allen wrench, reinstall the
center cap on all rear wheels and in front wheel applications that do not have a hub assembly protruding
through the center bore of the wheel. See figure 14.
