I felt the same way about Ferriers!
After all it would only take them 30 minutes to re-shoe a horse and they charged a fortune!
And like you I thought Hey I can do that! It don't look that hard!
So with a friend of mine who is a Ferrier and under his instruction I set out to shoe my Quarter Horse!
Well let me tell you something! Four hours later soaked with sweat (not to mention sore for two days after) I stepped back with Pride in a job well done! And a whole new perspective on why sometimes it's best to pay the price and let the people with with the proper tools and know how do the job for you.
I've done tires my self also and came away with the same perspective as with the Horse!
I will offer one tip for you if you decide to take your tires on,A good way to unseat the bead is to lay the tire flat let the air out and use your pick-up truck! Drive the front tire of your truck up onto the rubber next to the rim and it will brake the bead loose for you, Beats th heck out of swinging that bead buster hammer!
