What is the easiest way to brake the bead on a 600x6 tire.

Put the wheel on a bench, place one end of a piece of 1x2 lumber on the tire
next to the wheel, and beat on the other end with a medium size hammer. If you
don't have access to a bench, a plank will do; just don't put the wheel on a
hard surface.

Another good method is to place the wheel under part of your car, put the base
of a hydraulic jack on the tire next to the wheel, and attempt to jack up the
car. Do *not* succeed at jacking up the car!
