This worked great, saved whats left of my back muscles to remount the tire and put a inner tube in it!

Awesome thanks!

And then replacing the tyre is the easy part? Just put back in position and fill the tube, which then replaces the bead?

Thank you very much for sharing Jay you show a very good way to break a bead. Curious do you have a good method to totally remove tire from wheel as I am struggling with that at the moment some say it is best to do with wheel mounted on tractor.
