Go to your local gas station or Meijer ,and for a for a couple bucks get the valve stem remover tool, of simply push the tire down and remove the air by using a screw driver to push the stem.

Service stations, tire shops they will all do it im sure for a small fee .The only thing I can think of is take that fee and bye your own tools, then you will have them.

Use round pry bars or round shank heavy screw drivers. Deflate the tire by removing valve stem core. Use a ratchet strap in the center of the tire and tighten it up until the bead starts to loosen. Lay tire flat on its side push it until bead is broken. Remove strap push tire down until one side of the bead is in the middle of the rim. Use pry bar to pull bead opposite of side touching the middle of the rim working it up and around a little at a time. Then repeat for the other bead. I can break a wheel down that way in a few minutes. Once u figure it out it's pretty easy try not to chew up the tire though

It won't hold air without a tube.

I always pay 1 dollar at tire shop per wheel to break beads loose. Then I take them home and use tire spoons.:thumbsup:

(Saves me 14 bucks on a set of 2)
