• an elevating rod (2) arranged above said turntable (R) such that it moves up and down to a destination;
• a tire bead separation shoe (1) mounted at the lower end portion of said elevating rod (2), wherein the shoe (1) having a wedge portion (12) to engage with a rim edge (WR) of the wheel (W) which is fixed on the turntable (R) so as to shove between the rim edge (WR) and a bead (TB) of said tire and a tire bead fold-back portion (11) provided adjacent to said wedge portion (12);
• and
• a thrusting rod (4) provided with a claw (41) at its tip end portion, wherein the claw (41) is shoved between said tire bead (TB) and rim edge (WR) of the wheel so as to squeeze out of the wheel the tire bead (TB) and to mount the bead onto the tire bead fold-back portion (11), when the wedge portion (12) of the tire bead separation shoe (1) is shoved between the tire bead (TB) and the rim edge (WR) of the wheel and a boom arrangement (3) to make the thrusting rod (4) squeeze out of the wheel (W) the tire bead (TB).
