Just did this last week, so the memory is fresh.

- Spray all the nuts with a good penetrating oil (like PB Blaster). Spray them again the next day.

- Get wood blocks for cribbing and use a hydraulic jack so you can adjust the tractor up and down.

- As Red said, get a long extension for a breaker bar (you'll probably destroy a ratchet, use a breaker bar). You risk breaking the socket or the bolt, but that's not a big deal. Be prepared to grind nuts off if they are rounded.

- Best is to have another tractor with a front loader handy to lift the tire/rim; especially if there is fluid in it. Otherwaise have several pairs of arms to help. Don't work alone.

- Rim should come right off the wheel. If it doesn't, hit the tire with a sledge hammer or gently pry it off with a pry bar. Once the clamps are off you can use the weight of the tractor and jack to break it loose but they usually don't put up much of a fight.

- Be careful, a tire full of fluid could weigh over 600 pounds. And don't break the valve stems.
