biggest thing with them i was shown was CLEAN the rim grove were it sits as clean of rust and dirt and paint as possible . then air up the tire 10-20 psi or until the tire pushes up the ring and starts to lock in the lock ring . then take a 3-4 lb hammer and tap the lock ring to make sure its seated good . then air it up a bit more and recheck seat . if good fill it up .
also best to do this in a cage if you can like any big truck tire or super high psi setup should be .
oh ya also make sure NOT to mix up the rings and locks . some can be a bit different in shape and not lock in right .
