After some debait here on what tyre
tools to use , I desided today to give the high lift jack a go , after removing the valve , I possitioned the jack into the tobar hole and jacked it till the base sat on the rims edge , with 3 more pumps , it popped off with no effort . I aslo had purchased 3 tyre levers from bursons for only $12 each , this made removing the tyre alot easier . Without fitting the valve, I connected the max air which popped the bead on with no effort . I did use some soady water (not sure if this helped) , but my aim was only to use the things I would have with me in the bush , i have previously tried to popp a bead with smaller compressors with no luck , I was very impressed on how easy the bead popped .
I hope this helps someone that was in the same delema as myself ,
Ps have a safe eastr guys & gals

Tyrepliers are good if you can put some effort into the pliers, but if your a little older than you used to be, or expect the wife to fix punctures, and have more time, the R & R beadbreaker works
well with less effort.
The key to these
tools can be, that the vehicle may not always be in a position where you can use it, while getting tyres fixed.
The other thing that works is a bit of rhs which fits into your, or any tow bar, which the standard factory jack will work on.
