Breaking tire off bead?

[MUDFINDER]

Im trying to break down my 40 gumbos off the rims they are currently on.  ive been using a bumper jack and on the last 2 tires they wont break off the bead. i have the whole front of my truck off the ground and it still wont come off.      Does any one have any other tricks or tip to breaking them down?

[dirtydog]

run them over ,but dont  catch the rim, may use a board as a ramp on the tire or steel. there a few ways of doing it, but its hard work either way

Works pretty good

sometimes. i had a set of 33s that i ended up having to cut off with a sawzall. that was a pain!

[Blazin40s]

Yep...run it over

[MR NASTY]

Use a hammer and a chisel around the bead. Air hammer works best

yup put a board on the edge of the tire and pull up on it works for me

Yep...run it over

I actually had the bead rip apart once doing this, the rubber was still stuck to the rim.
