I reallt can't recommend this but it might help in a worst case situation where there is no spare avalable and a bead has broken.

I once saw a guy use propane to reset a bead. He put some propane in the tire and lit it with a cigarette lighter causing a small explosion that set the bead and inflated the tire to 9 PSI. He said its also possible to do it with gasoline and hairspray.

Again, I DO NOT RECCOMEND THIS i'm just telling you what I heard.
