Claim 16:
17. A method for removing a tyre from a respective rim of a vehicle wheel by means of an operating arm including a removal tool which is pivoted to a head movably supported by a supporting structure for supporting the operating arm, and which is articulated to a driving member through a crank at an operating point, the method comprising the following steps:
advancing the driving member from a retracted position to an advanced position along a longitudinal orientation by means of an actuator connected between the driving member and the supporting structure;
displacing the operating point of the removal tool as a result of advancing the driving member;
by effect of advancing the driving member, driving a coupling member, which is kinematically coupled to the driving member and to the head;
displacing the head along the longitudinal orientation as a result of the driving action applied to the head by coupling member,
rotating the removal tool via the crank, responsive to a relative movement of the head with respect to the driving member.
