That's what those pneumatic tire dismounting stands are for at tire shops. If you're doing it by hand and don't care about the tire any more, you can use a heavy screwdriver and a big (heavy) hammer (not a claw hammer - a small sledge hammer) and smack the bead to break it loose. If you want to save the tire, use a short piece of 2 x 4 and a big hammer (that sledge). The wood won't damage the bead. But if it's seized, the rubber may tear away from the tire and remain stuck to the rim. It may help to apply a bit of dilute soap to the bead, but it may not, too. There is an "economy" approach that might work for you. A lot of self-serv gas stations are working out of what used to be "filling stations" with attached auto repair bays. And a lot of them still have the bead breaking equipment still there. You may be able to get a "discount" by asking them to dismount the tire for you as opposed going to a full service tire shop. Good luck.
