Hi Guys,
QQ: Quick Question..
I searched now for more than 1 hour and could not find the answer on the internet so I'm going to ask, cause I want to be sure it is right!
Last night I installed my tubes, rims and tyres, but I am not 100% convinced I did it the tube valve stem portion right, cuase the instruction manual is vague in this area, I have never installed an inner tube before
OK I aligned the valve stem with the RED dot, simple enough.
NOW I left the tapered silver washer on the stem, (picture below) it looks like it is suppose to nest in the wheel rim hole, so that the valve don't move. I joined the 2 rim halves with that washer outside the rim, between the rim and the tube. When the tube inflates it pusses the washer up agains the stem hole and it is suppose to nest in the hole. That means the stem can't move. Is that correct??
OK then I got 3 parts still left over after the install. The yellow cap is fine it goes on the stem, but are we suppose to use the other 2 nuts? I can't see how they come into play in our RV installation??
Thank you.
Regards
Rudi
