simple question, where you trying to put the tyre on the rim from the front of the rim or the back? because if you try from the back it is nearly impossible.

Yeah exactly, back or front? I've changed heaps of tyres (bias and radial) manually with home made bead breaker and some old siddy tyre levers (never needed a mallet) , never a problem.

I`ve done it with a High lift and 2 big screw drivers, and that was off and then back on again.
Have also done it on the side of the hume highway with screw drivers and the hilux, cheezy will remember this one
