Question

A tire that has been run flat has just been removed from an Alcoa aluminum rim. Technician A states to roll the rim on a flat level surface for a minimum distance of 10 feet to ensure that it rolls in a straight line. Technician B states to use a square to ensure that there is no more than .030 gap between the square and the rim flange. Who is correct?

Answer 1

Technician B is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Technician B is absolutely correct because ensuring that there's no 0.3 gap is a precautionary measure to take in order to avoid any accidental occurrence before fixing the tyre back. Running the rim on a flat surface according to technician B would only cause wear for the rim.
