I have used an R&R bead breaker a number of times on various vehicles including a Disco 3 and it works a treat,however re-seating the disco tyre was impossible (used ratchet strap,bounced,hit with heavy hammer,swore ) until ,with much care poured a very little bit of petrol into the rim and lit with a bit of lighted paper-BOOM-tyre re-seated.The guy who showed us the method said it worked much better (safer if that's possible ) with aero start or similar. I only use this method if absolute necessary.
