I know the pain. but i'm getting old, and running low on elbow grease. Had i known how affordable tire machines had become, i would've gotten one a long time ago. The pair (machine and balancer, delivered) cost about the same as one months child support (not kidding). Single best investment...

you were spot on! Flipped it over, and the tire practically flew off of the rim. Upside down rim made installing the tube very difficult tho.

Good Point: I will check that out... these rims are pretty wide, so the drop center is about 3" below the bead. can see it better in this pic. I assumed the drop section was centered on this rim, but i'll look from the other side to see if it's possibly offset. Thanks

Hey There! Been lurking for many moons, but finally need to seek the wisdom of the board... Trying to remove an ATV tire, but the 11" rim is kicking my A$$... The bead is completely broken, and i'm using the drop center i can't seem to get the bead that last 1/8" of an inch over the duckhead...
