Mark,
You will need a special tire hammer that has a wedge on one side of it and
you should hit the tire just at the lip of the rim and I mean hit it hard
being careful not to hit the rim or safety ring. The handle on the tire
hammer is about the length of a sledge hammer. That will break it down.
OR
You can use a sledge hammer and a wedge like a wedge used for splitting wood
and drive the wedge in until you hear and feel it meet resistance at which
time you made contact with the wheel. Do that all the way around once and
maybe two or three times. After that you can remove the safety ring , turn
the tire over and do the same thing on the back side.
OR
If you know someone who has a tire shop and some farmers have them, ask to
borrow a bead breaker and go by the instructions that came with the breaker
to break it down.
OR
Spend some of your hard earned money and take it to the nearest tire place
that does tractor or truck tires.
I have all three of those tools I would loan you but you're probably too far
to come get them and get them back before I need them next in my tire
business.
Sonny

Subject: [MV] Thanks for the help
Guys, Thanks for the suggestions for getting back on the list, the alternate
e-mail address worked.
Now the required vehicle content...Any suggestions on how to get the bead to
break on an old 11:00-20 (cap) that is so stiff that the tire mallet only
bounces?
Thanks,
Mark
