If you can buy the tub of wheel bead grease, or just keep dish soap diluted in a squirt bottle, it makes life a lot easier getting the bead off.

Though, back in the day, I could have a tire off the rim, and new one mounted in that time, from the moment I pulled the valve stem out to the moment it was aired up to the proper PSI.

Some could do it in half that!

Though, where are you getting wheels/tires for cheaper than their scrap price?
