In old lawn mowers ,the rear wheel can be very hard to remove. Best thing to do is cut the tire off the rim. Leave a 2 inch rubber on the sides . Drill a small hole in this 2 inch sidewall and put a large screw driver and twist it sideways. This will separate the rubber from the rim and now you can pull it off the rim.
Take your new tire and lube the inside flange with dishwasher soap and slide it on the rims. Very easy. I have done this a dozen of times. This will save hours of beating and pulling with a bar puller or a slide hammer.
The only time i use a slide hammer or a bar puller ,is when i have absolutely no choice but to remove the rims. In this case ,take it to a shop and let them remove it with an impact wrench. Sometimes you can destroy or badly damage your rims by doing it yourself. I have done that too. Hope this helps.
