  1. So I seem to be stuck now. I thought it would be relatively easy to remove the tire from this rim. Nope. As you can see from the photo, I ended up cutting most of it off, but I can't for the life of me get the remaining rubber off.

    The internet says I need to use the weight of my car, and a car jack to press it off, but I don't have the clearance under my car to do that.

    Tried various clamps, cutting etc.
    Any tips appreciated before I go ask someone who knows what they're doing.

    There is a second rim + tire I want to do as well.
