Sure, how strong are you? Put a board on the tire but so it doesnt touch
the rim. Now drive up the board to break the bead on the tire. Now with
some help from some people crowbar the tire off. If this happens and you
patch it and somehow get it back on the same way, fill with air and keep
bouncing it untill the bead seats. Orrrrrr, pay 5 bucks for a
professional to do it!
