    You'd need $40.00 worth of tire irons and a $500.00 air compressor to pop the bead back in place. You'd also need someone to show you how to do it as there are a few trick hand tire changing tools out their but you've gotta be a big dude to use these grunt, swear and sweat tools. -- That's what they make pneumatic tire changers for. I'm an old boy and I sure as hell wouldn't want to brake out the tire irons and spoons once again!

    You can't even ask the question in a way that I could understand it.

    I can tell you this - if you need to remove a tire from the rim, the short answer is you can't do it. You can't get the bead to pop off the rim with tools around the house AT ALL.. It is completely impossible.

    If you have a rim with no tire, and a tire with no rim, it's easy. You get two pry bars (or really big screwdrivers) and just walk it on.

Pa case in point you are able to purely exchange up or down one length. somewhat some human beings do it yet you run the prospect of being fined.
