Get it done somewhere, its a HUGE pain in theass to try and do it your self.

The only really difficult thing is breaking the beads. Once the beads are broken, the tires can easily be removed with spoons/screwdrivers. If you don't have access to some kind of bead breaker, you'll probably want to pay to have it done.

Where ever you take it to make sure they have experience with atv wheels because they will bend the crap of your rims if you are not careful.

I'll third that quote. I done my 3 wheeler with nothing but screw drivers and dawn soap. That was a bear to do.

If you don't have the tools or if walmart wont do it most service stations can, that is what my friends do. I do mine myself but on honda utility wheels it scrapes them alot. So get someone who knows what they are doing and wont scratch/bend it haha

the best way i do it is i put the atv wheel close to any cars tire only so you run over the tire only not the rim you do this with only very little air in the tire or no air. or you could make your own bead breaker it works kinda like that soda can crusher but again only used on the tire. and to get it back on you can use hairspray,starter fluid what ever burns once you get the tire on the rim that is. light it and boom! you got a air tight seal.

Or find a local atv shop. Not all tire machines will do them they have to be for smaller tires such as lawn mowers and atv's.

Like said walmart will do them for $5, my hirch can am dealer did it for free lol.

Those saying to have it done because its hard don't have enough experience or the right technique. The first or second tire isn't easy, but gets easier with every tire.

i second this. its not all that bad once you get it figured. however monday i tangoed with one that wanted to be a pain. i got kinda mad at myself for letting that one win , but i felt better after i took it to a shop and they fought with it for ten mins with a tire machine. i still don't know why that one bead was like that? i had the tires off about two weeks ago and less than five mins of riding on it.
