I feel your pain. I had the same problem braking the beds on some really old
tires and wheels. One of the problems is those old tires sidewalls are really
soft and that lets the breaker angle to slide. I ended up driving my truck up
on the tires just as close to the wheel as possible. I think I left the truck
parked on the tire and jumped on, or drove a breaker bar between the tire and
wheel next to the truck wheel, It finally got the beads broke down. I
eventually bought a breaker tool that hooks on on the wheel on the opposite
side of the wheel from the bead breaker. It is not perfect but gets the job
done. I have contiplated chaining the wheel to the upright post of the changer
to keep the wheel from scooting away.
CATCH YOU LATER,
ROBO
