Yep, that's how it's done for large equipment for a 2 piece wheel
(there's a ring that fits around the wheel), as far as using this
technique on the smaller pickup size wheels (I haven't tried it), I
guess it would work but with the wheel being a smaller diameter I
would think it would be hard to get the crowbar to stick in one place
while you pry the bead up over the rim.. seems like it would want to
keep sliding. -Leslie
