You need to break the bead of the tire at the rim. You need to get a bar of some kind under the bead and get it up on the top of the rim. While this sounds easy, it isn't, and you can damage the rim. If you can get a "C" clamp that is large enough, with something to widen the area that the clamp will push on, you might be able to push the sides of the tire together and break the bead that way. Then get the bar in, and pull the bead up over the top of the rim. Watch the way a tire is removed at a store and do it the way you see it done, but realizing that you won't have the machine to help you. Having said this, I think I would go to a shop and have it done. The money spent might be the money you don't need to spend on a new rim, or to fix personal injuries.

I agree just take it to a local garage, they'll slip them of in a minute for a few bucks and you won't damage rims or scrape your knuckles!! Some things are just not worth the struggle.

Well, you can spend hours trying to kill yourself doing it by hand or you can take it in to a shop that might charge you as little as $5 each to dismount them in about a minute.
How badly do you want them off?
