I'd just take it to a local mom and pop tire shop and have them unmount and remount the tire.

They might not even charge you if you help out.

I tried wheel works but they wouldn't do it because the tires were all chewed up from wheeling and they said it was too dangerous. They said they wouldn't want to be held liable if I had a blowout or something..... Dumb

Hi-Lift jack under the truck and the base on the tire bead.
Shop vac out the water.
OR
Just drill a hole in it then plug it.

No spoons? Lay the wheel flat on the ground put a 2x4 on the side wall up to the rim but not on it. Get another car and slowly drive up. Pop!

Cheap, works great! My buddies and I have done our own tires for a while with this machine, from 235s up to 35 so far and it has worked flawlessly. We did drill the base plate for Jeep, Ford and Toyota lug patterns, and also beefed up the bar.

Air down to 0 psi and go do donuts in the local dirt parking lot, preferably with that wheel on the outside of your turn. You'll break the bead soon enough.

I have one and love it! I got the motorcycle attachment also. It's great, I do the tires on everything I have with it. Wheel barrow, mini bike , motorcycle, truck. Best $80 ever.

you know inside the valve, theres that core that if u press it, air escapes? its called a 'valve core' and they sell valve core removers at like sears or autozone or something.. pretty cheap.
