mark the tire and rim first so you know where to put it back together for balance
take the valve out and pry the ring off with tire tools starting at the split and work your way around
sledge hammer the bead down on the back side and then pry the front bead off the rim
put it in a cage or chain it up when you air it back up
at least this is how i recall i did 35 years ago or so
