If you can get a duck billed tire hammer (similar to a sledge hammer but one end has a wide slightly curved end) it should break the bead free. Lubricate the sidewall well with rubber lube or soapy water. Strike the tire hard an inch or two from the bead with a slight angle of the duck bill toward the rim. It slides down onto the rim while forcing the tire bead off slightly. You might have to work your way around a tough bead, all the while slowly creeping the bead off of the rim. I have found that straddling the center of the wheel by standing with each foot on opposites sides of the rim gives me the correct angle for striking with the hammer. Wear gloves & eye & ear protection. I haven't met a tire yet that I can't get off that way. There are other methods that I haven't used that others will post.
