Jeez you guys are making it sound like it's hard. All you have to do is get a couple of spoons out of the kitchen draw. I've been doing that since I was a lad.

Can't see any point tbh, breaking the beads was dead easy once I'd worked it out- getting the leverage in the right place so that the block of wood didn't slip off and the tyre didn't tip, was a fiddle but I'll know next time. Funny, i thought that'd be the hard bit

Got one side off eventually... The tyre was keeping it's shape very determinedly, maybe partly to do with it being too big for the tyre, so keeping it in the centre of the wheel in all the places you should to create slack would have needed another set of hands, but I finally shifted it with just a bit more brute force and ignorance No new marks on teh rim either, which isn't saying much with the condition of this wheel...

I figured out why I couldn't shift the other side, but by that time I'd got fed up so I've left it for tomorrow Cheers for the advice folks.
