You can make a bead blaster from an old 20- or 30-pound propane tank and a few fittings. For about 80 bucks you can get a knock off 5-gallon air bead blaster from eBay and other places. We got one and it might not be the real thing, but it works good and easier to justify having one around than the $400 +/- for a real "Cheetah" bead blaster. Works on the 22.5 and 24.5 truck tires and "road" tubeless tires on trailers. And yes, an occasional implement type tire.
Also, if you don't have one, get a full flow air chuck and remove the Schader valve from the stem while seating the beads, the better air flow helps.
Getting the ether trick to work requires the right amount of ether and the flow of air into the tire from your air hose to make the explosion. Doesn't work near as good now as it did with the old starting fluids of 30 years ago. The air blaster is easier and safer now.
