[Roadsters] OT: Empi wheels, stuck tires

[Paul Kort]

  I have a set of vintage Empi 2 piece wheels.  They are wrapped in some
old tires that refuse to come off.  It appears that the inner surface is a
bit corroded and the beads of the tires frozen in place.  What's the secret
to getting them off?  Lifted the tractor off the ground trying to use the
front bucket to pop the bead.  HELP!
