Default The tire machine has a part that swings down over the wheel to lever the tire off.

When they put the bar into the tire, it pushed that part into the wheel.

It is the part closest to the wheel, second from the right.

Ah, so the damage probably happened on removal not installation. Likely on removing runflats...
