Breaking Beads?

[out_of_order]

Is there any method i can use at my house that will be able to break the bead on my tires so i can put the new ones on? I dont wanna use a screw driver b/c that will tear up the tires so im not sure... any help is appreciated

Set the edge of a 2x4 right where the tire meets the rim and drive a truck onto the 2x4

OR

Take them to a shop (got 2 off)

OR

Cut them off with a dremel tool (we had to)

I have an old bumber jack out of some old trunk from years gone by. They are designed with a curved edge on the jack base, just for breaking tire beads. I just roll the tire over to the bumber of my pickup, set the tire on its side and place the curved base of the jack as far up under the rim lip as i can, then proceed to jack the truck up and it pops the beads. I've had to leave some tires setting for a while because they were stubborn. You could probably find an old bumper jack pretty easily. But
The best thing is go down and have a service station do it. Last time I went and had a couple tires taken off a rim and put on new rims, It took about 10 minutes with the tire machine and the guy didn't even charge me.
