It would have been, except I was at the Salvage Garage and it doesn't have a lift, I used the forklift to bring it inside, we actually used a jack to put it on jack stands.
Today I managed to clean up both sides of the shop at the Hill, then we got both of the tires pulled apart and off the rims completely (the ones that gave me so much trouble Saturday?), it was a good day indeed. I should do some more, but I am kind of beat and tomorrow will be a busy day for certain.
Normally this would probably work great to break the bead, but the one inch thick rubber ring really held up the process, we even poured tire lube into the bead while it was pulled away. This was repeated five more times, turning the tire a bit each time to try and loosen everything.
In the end, I had to use the torch to heat the ring, all the way around, you can see the black marks where I burned off the paint. The rings were rusted to the rim and that was the problem all along.
The lift bay at the Hill is usable!!!!
Had to shuffle things over to the other side, but almost everything is easily moved by pallet jack or there are already wheels under the stuff.
The Wall of Lista is complete!!! Not really, but I had to put these somewhere for now.
