So you took off the ring right? now you still need the tire busted off of the bead, if you dont have any tools to do so take it to a tire shop and just have them pop the bead off, you don't need to have them put on no special tools needed for that.

Yes i have the ring off.

But, if i pop the bead off, dont i need to get a new bead to put a new tire on?

Your changing the tire right? the bead is where the tire seats on the rim, single beadlocks are as they state the beadlock only locks one side of the tire on the rim the other side is free to come off, once you break off the inner bead you just pull the rim off the tire i can't explain it any easier then that, take them to a tire shop to get the inner bead broken so you can get the rim off.
