High lift jack to break the bead (or just get 1-2 cars to drive over the tyre part of the wheel when flat on the ground).

Then you will need something like a couple of big screwdrivers/strong sticks to get the tyre off - better to carry a couple of tyre levers though - they are pretty cheap.

Big hammer helps too to move the screwdrivers around the rim

done this one night a while back, it took me and my old man about 45 mins, with only a highlift jack, one small crow bar and a rubber mallet, it did finally work, and help pressure,

Steer into some nice deep ruts with low pressure and tear the bugger off
