My advice, for what it's worth, is:

Let a professional do it. Why? because we like to read your posts here, and
would miss you very much.

Subject: [MV] 5 Ton tire changing

Anyone have any particular tricks or advice
(other than don't get close to the ring when
inflating) where changing tires on 5 tons is
concerned? I've got 12x20 NDCC tires with split
rims. I've looked over TM 9-2610-200-14 Care and
Maint of Pneumatic Tires....

I don't have a cage, so I'll be re-mounting the
tire and then inflating to test the lock ring
seat as the manual says. Anything else? Any
preference for prybars/spoons/bead breakers/tools?
