Thank Roland,
I thought I was the only one dumb enough to have tried to beat a tire off
the rim with screw drivers. I'd had so many spokes bent that I gave up
letting garages to the work. You even managed to get a lot more carried away
than I ever did.
I did discover that a Healey break drum or disc lowered onto the tire
right by the rim makes a nice bead breaker. Radials whith their soft
sidewalls are easy to pry off if the bead is broken. It the putting
30lbs of air in with a bicycle hand pump that's hard.
