I usually use about a 3" gooseneck wrecking bar. With the tire/rim laying flat I drive the straight end of the gooseneck into the bread until it is completely into the rim. Then I pull up on the bar (so as to drive the inside edge of the bead downward) and continue to drive the bar downward using a good sledge hammer. Driving the end of the bar into the bead acts a a wedge and will usually move the bead to some extent. You won"t see much movement at first but pull the bar out and do the same thing over about 2" then about 2" over the oposite way then move over another inch or two and back again etc., etc.. Once you notice some space after pulling out the bar you know you are getting there and just keep repeating the operation and expanding the distance from your starting point left and right. Once you have an area free of the bead you can usually puch the remainder of the bead down with your foot. The duckbill others have mentioned works on a simialr principle but if your not a dead eye (as I am not) with the duckbill this will be less frustrating.
