CF - I just changed the rear tires on my H last week. No big deal. I used the front bucket of my backhoe to initially break the beads. Without something similar, I would not have tackled the project, as these tires seem to have been on for longer than I have been alive. After the beads were broken, make sure you slide the beads to the center of the rim, opposite the valve stem, and use two smooth tire removal tools. Mine were 14" long, and the project went smoothly. No soap suds were needed for either removing, or installing. If lubrication were needed, I probably would have used talcum powder, as this was a trick I learned while racing motorcycles.
