Take the back wheel off by fiddling with the derailleur after you have released the hub. Releasing the wheel and hub is done by unscrewing the axle or by releasing the quick release mechanism. That is more normal and you will find a kind of lever attached to the axle. Loosen the quick release lever by pushing or pulling it away from its fixed position, it then becomes floppy instead of tight. Then install the tyre and reposition the wheel.
