You can do it by hand or take it to a shop......bropably cost you $100.00

By hand you will need:
Valve stem remover
By hand you'll need at least two tire irons (Princess auto sells them)
Bottle of dishwashing detergent (Dove is animal friendly)
A bead Breaker or a good strong 2 x 8 or 2 x 6 about 3' to 4 long( I use a 2 x 6 x 3' rectangle channel)
Sledge Hammer
Ratchet strap
Air compressor with enough volume to rapidly fill the tire..

Remove the valve stem
Start prying the bead if it comes off great if not use the bead breaker or lay the tire on a old piece of carpet (so you don’t scratch the rim) Place the board on one side of the tire as close to the rim as possible, drive a vehicle up the board, if the bead starts to move back up and rotate the tire and repeat…(sometimes the board will slide down the tire without breaking the bead, tap on the bead with an other block to try to break and or turn the tire and keep at it till it breaks the bead)
It helps to use the tire iron and continue to pry and or hit the tire with the sledge or block to jar it off the bead. (Watch out not to hit the vehicle…lol)

Repeat on other side….soap (dilute with water) up the inside edges and pry off the rim.


Clean the bead on the rim and soap the bead and the tire pry onto the rim(pay attention, some tires are directional)
Place ratchet strap around the centre of the tire and tighten trying to seal the tire as best you can, apply air without the valve stem….some time you have to bounce the tire or hit with sledge….but ATV tires will usually pop on to the bead….

Like anything it takes a bit of practice.....

ive seen tire shops scratch rims as well so i don't see the point in them for atv tires.

like said before to break the bead lay the rim on something that wont scratch it. carpet / rubber / ive even used cardboard.

next lay a board on it and drive up the board .. if it keeps slipping off.. ive actually drove onto a tire from the side before to break a bead .. just miss the rim or you will screw it lol. try the board first.

after your bead pops then what i did was found a chunk of rubber and put it between the rim and tire. shoved a pry bar there. and held it.

then i took another peice of rubber and worked the 2nd pry bar pulling the rubber over the rim..

getting em on was easier because i just slicked the heck out of the tires and pushed and turned the tire as i worked and slowly worked the tire on one inch at a time..

all in all i can get like 4 rims done in 20min or so and 0$..

A lighlift jack with base on tire under rim lip and jack to truck bumper also works well and the a couple shots of either to reseal.
