one thing I did was to get a scissor jack, put it as close to the bead as possible. And crack away until it would pop off. I ended up putting it under a backhoe and it actually started lifting up the backhoe, a John Deere 710C, thats a big back hoe. And I ended up using an impact gun to turn the handle on the jack. But since then my shop has got a machine and they mount them for cheap...

Be very careful doing it yourself. I tried everything to break the bead on mine including using a press to running it over with my truck. In the end I ended up with a bent rim, useable but bent. I ended up just taking it to my local tire place, it was like $20.00 to switch em over...oops.

Hey man take them to your local Tire shops, NOT ATV shop, just like Expert Tire or anywhere, I just had my rears broke off the bead, and new ones reseated for only 14 bucks, (its well worth your money)

I tried to do my stock tires myself, and i drove my car on the tires and all, and still i couldn't break the bead, so i cut the tires with a razor, and i got two screwdrivers and started busting all the cords, and about 4 hours later i had my 2 rear tires off, and my to new Holeshots mounted up!

It cost me 3 busted screwdrivers, a sliced ring finger, and 4 busted knuckles, So if u dont have a bead breaker its not worth your time!!!!!!!!!

sometimes it helps to put the stem back in and put a tiny bit of air so the tire doesnt crush too easily
