I made my own bead breaker, take a look. The workmanship is kinda poor, but I didn't want to spend much time or money on it. It fits in a hitch, just to keep it steady. I just broke 4 beads on my mudzilla tires in a short amount of time (I am keeping the tires, selling the rims to my bro).

Your pretty crafty dude! but how'd you get em off the rims, tire irons?

Northark, I am not taking order for these things, but if you are in town you can use it.

Warrior007, I have a real nice tire spoon, I got from my dealer. One end has a great big curve, which makes rolling the bead over much faster and easier. I have to get one more spoon, since I can't seem to get the last bead over the rim with just one. I need to leap frog the spoons close together to keep from pressing the rim too hard. My screw drivers aren't doing the trick.

Mounting the tires seems to be the easiest. Taking them off is not as easy. These good spoons make it easier. I am going to take a picture of the spoon so people will know what to get if they wanna try it.

The process can scratch the wheels just a bit. A guy that told me he used cut up dish soap bottles to keep the spoons from scratching the rim. I scratch my rims worse just riding, don't really care about minor scratches.
