I used to break beads on an RRC by running over the flat tyre with a front tyre and if necessary jumping on it while compressed by the car. Even then it was problematic.

Recent quote from my local BJ was around 300 for 5 rims to swap HT to AT. Just did it myself yesterday with a mate who has a tyre fitting machine, just cost me a couple of beers. Ive now got 5 ATs fitted to rims that have some kerb rash and stone chips, and 5 HT on clean, undamaged rims.
$60 just to remove a tire is a joke, I'd just cut the tire off myself and save $300 - tires aren't worth that much.

I bought an R&R Bead breaker kit years ago and it's still in the shed unused. I just forget to take it with us and luckily have never had any real problems with punctures although we've travelled many kays over dirt roads and tracks.
Now, what do I do with this bit of kit I've never used?
Gumtree here I come and see if I can get a reasonable few bucks for it.
