Tyre levers.

Get a proper bead breaker, 2 tyre levers and a rubber mallet. With a bit of practise you should be able to remove and refit a tyre with only one lever and the mallet in about 10 minutes.

Agreed, I use one similar to this

Yes, I use Goodyear ones about 1metre long.

I make do with a club hammer, a large mole wrench is handy in refitting at the early stages, nipped on the rim it stops the tyre slipping off.

OK Gunga Din ;-)

I never manage with one.

Yes that looks interesting, never seen one in the flesh.

If you want to remain tubeless get a winch strap and some soft soap the strap applied round the tread should give enough of a seal to allow the soap to work while you reinflate. Derek Kato 200TDi D1 and shortly Bert RRC V8 (yay!)

Tyrepliers in the UK:

And when that failed I blew it on with a small deflagration but forgot to remove the strap, it broke the strap!

I've actually gone right off tubeless for off road and agricultural stuff after some initial enthusiasm.

I've looked at my levers and in fact they are marked Metco TTL1.

It'll be 'Melco'

They will be Melco, and a copy of the Dunlops.

Thanks for the correction Dougal, that's them and they work on sizes

When I had my previous 90, I was, for a time running on the old steel Range Rover wheels and tubed Michelin XM&S tyres. I was getting flat tyres frequently as a result of nipped tubes when cornering too hard. Nothing for it except to become well practiced in tyre removal with a HiLift and 2 tyre levers. Breaking the bead was fairly easy with rims designed for tubed tyres(no bead groove), but I don't know whether it would be much harder breaking the bead on tubeless(grooved) rims!

I would have thought decent levers could be obtained at any good motor factors. Mine came from a car boot sale and are about 18 inches long by 1.5 inches wide, with one end hooked. If you're fit, it shouldn't be difficult!
