i was wondering how everybody breaks there tires down to replace them, cause i changed one of mine today and it took almost two hours and its now leaking around the rim. what is the best way to break them down and seat the new bead without taking it somewhere to get done and cost me more??

I had a hard time breaking one of my beads so I tried an old army trick and laid it on the ground and backed my truck over it and popped it right off after spending an hour jumping and prying and beating. To reseat the new ones I liberly greased the lip and rim and it seated with about 22 psi of pressure still scared the dookie when it seated. This was after trying soap, silicone, and armor all. Good luck.
