Rubber hammer to break the beads. Gasoline to get it back on. I'm Canadian. 
Whoa, does the gas in the tire actually work? how do you do that?

It will work, but it's hella dangerous.....
Same with ether...
Spray a little inside the tire after its on the rim, light a match stand back and drop the match in and watch out...POOF!!!
Might not be the best way, but sometimes we ain't to smart in the hills....lol.lol.lol
If ya gonna be crazy and do this,,, anchor the wheel to the ground first..I have seen tires and steel rims launched way in the air with this method. Fun to watch.....from a distance. Nail biting to do at times...
I stopped doing that a long time ago, unless it's those big ass flotation tires like the OLD Intl log truck use up front. Sometimes ether won't even seal those big ownery sons a B.........

I bought the $50 tire changer from Harbor Freight. Has a bead breaker on it. Iv mounted to a 2x8x36 piece of oak so I can keep it out of the way when it not being used. A good set of tire spoons and some rim protectors completes the package.

Back in the day one of the guys in the service station could seat tires by hand. He could seat both beads at once on a 15" tire just by slamming the tire down on the rim. He just used his hands to break the beads also. We had a power tire machine but it was easier for him to do it by hand.
He was a BIG 'ol boy.

I break the bead with a vice and then 2 or 3 good prybars about a foot and a half long to remove and put the new tire on. I got pretty good at it the last couple days. Had to do it like 4 times
