Tips for tire changing

Posted by Michael Fanoni on Saturday, August 12, 2006 at 2:35PM :

I'm resting from some grueling efforts of wrestling with my 30yr old 9.00-16's and thought I'd ask for some pointers. I cant seem to get the bead to break loose and it's really hanging me up. I've got a backhoe that could help, but I would hate to bend the wheel. Anyone have some tips for breaking the bead? Once I have that part done, the rest should be easy. I heard of some people building some bonfires to burn the old tires off, but I'm not quite that oakie.
