JackC 617 #2 Posted October 6, 2012 Last time I took one to a tire shop, the guy charged me $10. When I do it myself I use the mini tire changer from Harbor Freight. I just takes force to break the bead by pressing down. Possible stand on it and rock back and forth or rig up some kind of screw clamps to squeeze the tire down away from the rim.
