I have used the boiling method in the past with great success.

Get a large pan and bring the water to a rapid boil. Once its boiling drop in your wheels and tires. Let them soak for 1-3 mins. They will float so you have to do one side at a time.

After they have soaked for a few minutes take them out. I used a pair of long needle nose pliers. Just don't grab them with your hand. Now place a blunt object on the bead of the tire next to the rim. I used a nut driver.

Now push down on the tire, if they have soaked long enough the bead will break loose with little effort. You can also use a rag to hold the tire down if needed. If the bead comes loose just work your way around the tire. If not put them back into the pan and let them soak for another minute.

Be very careful not to burn yourself with the boiling water. When inserting and removing the tires do it carefully to keep from splashing the water on you.

Not responsible for injury or property damage. :retard:

Thanks

The most important part is getting the water hot enough. I have to keep my stove on High for it to work.
