get the lever in from the back,
hooked to the front of the rim,
with the tyre/wheel standing up.
With the tyre lever at the highest point,
flip it right over the tread and it will start peeling.
proceed to hit the rest of with the mallet.... or grinder
I wont ask how to do a motorbike tyre Marty
But i would listen to Marty before me , but you still need a Warding file
If you have the first side off all you have to do is put the lever between tyre and rim from the inside and then roll the lever over the tyre pivoting on the rim. (make sure end of lever is securely fixed as if it slips out you'll have a facefull of fun) Then get a rubber mallet and wack the tyre on both sides of the lever and it should come off quite easily. Also dishwashing liquid helps in removal and stops bead rubber from getting chunked. You are pretty much gauranteed to get a couple of scratches on ya rim from lever. Oh and another thing often there is an easier side of the rim to take the tyre off usually the inside as it has the smallest diameter of the rim real close to the bead therefore tyre bead doesn't have to deform as much.
