You can use soapy water.... it helps. There are also commercial products out there for penetrating and lubing the bead. A product called Myers SKID is the most common that I am familiar with. For 500 wheels, it might be worth investing in a can. You can probably pick that up at an auto supply, or a heavy truck supply. I have also used LST penetrants, or any other good penetrating oil, although the spray cans can get rather expensive. With the Skid, and the tire machine, you should be able to get the job done. If not, then a bead maul will break them off. Just keep a tight aim.... Good luck.
