I've done it many times but when I get done I've asked myself why I didn't go to town and spend six bucks and have them take the tire off.
The hardest part has been breaking the tire down sometimes.
I'd like to find an old machine, even if it only had a hand breaker, or an old Coats 1010 would be nice.
I've gotten self-satisfaction doing it myself, but it would be faster to drive to town and have it done.
