Re: unmounting/removing tires from wheels - Can it be done at home? (Kyli)
It can be done I've done it before. If you have the tools. 2 Large pry bars that look like spoons, some soap to help the tire slide over the rim, a 10 lb solid rubber mallet and the strenght and endurance to swing that hammer for about twenty minutes for each tire. I also did this on stock steel wheels and tall 78 series tires. Low profile tires would be out of the question. Changing tires this way is the definition of work.
Yes, some thing are worth paying the money for.
