I just can't get the edge of the tire over the edge of the rim.
That in itself is an artform. (having had to do 24" rim tractor tires before)
If the bead is already broke on both sides, then you're off to a good start.
The key is two if not three pry bars and maybe a hammer to help get them between the wheel and tire.
You have to stand on one side of the tire so that the bead (edge of rubber tire that touches the rim) stays toward the center of the rim.
Using your prybars, work on the opposite side of the tire.
Use the first one to get it started, leave it there and use the others to work your way around the tire.
Take small bites each time you relocate the prybars. Just a couple inches at a time or less.
After you get around a bit, take the original prybar out so that the tire will slide over the rim.
Once you get about half way around it should just whip right off.
Of course you'll have to do this twice to get the second side off.
But the second side usually is a little easier. Same principal.
But hold (block) tire up to the center of rim instead of standing down on it.
Or..... just take it somewhere for a couple bucks. Small tire shops will usually help ya out like that.
(and re-mouting them is even cooler..... we can play with butane and fireballs)
