Set the bottle jack on the tire, place the whole thing under the front
of a heavy vehicle (full size van, pick up, American boat, etc) start
jacking up the heavy vehicle and the seal will pop on the tire.
Once you break the seal, use a dull pointed pry or crow bar to lever off
the tire.
Not too bad once you get the hang of it.
