To readily perform a repairing work for a deformed portion of a rim without any adverse effects given by a rim shape of a wheel or a kind of the wheel, and to enhance the precision of the repairing work and the simplification of the apparatus by devising a receiver for a reactive force of a pressing jack, a wheel repairing apparatus includes a base (2) on which the wheel H is to be mounted with its axis vertical, a support frame (3) provided on the base, supporting means (A) provided between the support frame and the base for rotatably support- ing the wheel about the vertical axis and pressurizing means (B) for pressurizing the deformed portion of the rim (R). The pressurizing means includes a pressurizing lever (7) having a free end (6) swingably rotatable about a proximal end (5) for pressurizing the free end to be brought into contact with the deformed portion of the rim from inside, and a jack (8) for applying to the pressurizing lever a force in a direction in which the deformed portion is returned to the original form. A reactive force of the jack is received by the wheel supporting means (A). |
