| I have a set of Roctanes that I can't bust off the rim. I tried spoons first, high lift jack pushing down on sidewall second. Now a manual tire changer to no avail. I was wanting to do this myself. Does anyone have any tips or tricks? The tires are still good so I don't want to damage them. | |

| If you have a long 4x4 wood post and put it under a vehicle and use a short 4x4 block on the tire and like it is a fulcrum point as you use the wood post to lift the vehicle you will be pressing down on the tire to break it down. | |

| Lay the tire/rim flat, using a 3' 2x10 lay it on the tire like a ramp. Get it close to the rim but not touching then drive your truck up on it. Been there done that | |

| Thanks for the input all. I'll give it another shot after it warms up a bit. | |
