Tyre removal

My first attempt - must be an easier way. The last part i found was the hardest *****629 (last but one pic) I had to stand on the rim and use the 2nd crowbar to rotate the rim out of the tyre. Note the blue scissor jack has a nut welded on - makes a scissor jack a useful bit of kit (once one has cut off the silly loop and added a nut). The crowbars were Gorilla 36". I thought I would give it a shot when ATS quoted me £18 per tyre - I found trouble getting 235/85 x 16 and got some on ebay for £75 each (then found the added bonus of being commercial tyres). My kit car is on axle stands (rear on wheels) and I wondered if it was worth a try.

Be grateful for any tips inflating as one has got to seal the tyre against the rim first.
