Could someone explain how to remove a rear tire from the rim and then re-install it (I need to flip the tread direction around).

What tools would I need?

Also, how do you remove really stubborn lug nuts?

Stubborn lug nuts--- a good 6 point socket, a breaker bar and a good length of pipe that fits over the breaker bar handle. Removing a tire yourself-- Don't! Unless you have something like a backhoe or a loader to break the bead. Easier to take it to a tire repair shop where they have the tools to do the job. And are you sure you need to remove the tire? You can just turn the rim and bolt it back on. It will change the distance between the rear tires, but maybe someone just put the rim on wrong before. Some people do that so they can back up a hill better.
I have seen it done on backhoes and frontend loaders.

the reason i want to flip the tire is that some schmoe put one tire on with the rim in a different way than on the other, so the tire clearances are different. the tires have calcium in them for weight, and doing the tire yourself sounds hard. i think ill take it to the shop.

Sounds like Jim might be right--your schmoe may have reversed the rim on the center section of the wheel. The clearance difference between sides that you cite suggests this to be true. If this is so, you'll need to unbolt the rim from the center section of the wheel, flip it around, then mount it correctly. Frank had a good suggestion regarding the safety of trying to do this yourself. If you don't want the CaCl in your tires you could drain the fluid, then handle the tire yourself--I understand that fluid-filled tires may weight 350+/- lb. Good luck, David, MI

I asked a friend about this. He said the tire with fluid is extremely heavy and can be dangerous if it tips over onto you. I weigh about 130 lbs so he was worried I get smushed.

I found a fellow who will come out for a reasonable price with a truck full of equipment and do it.You might check your local tire guy.
