One good bead hammer and two 36" tire bars. A couple of well placed blows with the bead hammer is all that's needed to break down most tires. Special emphasis on 'well placed' and 'most'... You want you angle of attack on the hammer such that it will go in under the wheel lip when you're coming down, and aim to just miss the wheel or 'kiss' it on the way past. If you don't do that and you hit an inch out on the tire sidewall you'll pound on it till the cows come home, and you still won't get it apart. Tough tires require the same technique except that you keep moving around the circumference of the wheel beating the bead down 1/8" at a time. Soapy water or a product like Myres Skid also help to lube things up. Once you get both sides broke down the tire should work off pretty easy with a couple tire bars.... I've never understood why so many people spend so much time and money on contraptions to break a bead down. A few well placed blows from the bead maul is all that's needed. Quick and easy.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
