It turns out my idea of buying a cheap Harbor Freight bead breaker to flip the Dresser Monster retreads for another year of wear was a really stupid idea.
Half the wheel assembly came off lickity split, but the other half doesn't want to budge much, at least to the point where I can wrestle with it enough to get it off.
At this point, it feels like I'm going to wreck the tire and tube and I'm thinking I might as well just take a saw to the darned tire and order a new set.
It's currently soaking in dishwashing liquid, and I'm hoping something might get it freed up enough.
In the meantime, I'll entertain any secrets of bead breaking that might come in handy here.
