Fit a bracket to your garage wall or something else solid about a foot off the ground. Have a long metal bar on this bracket using a hinge or a bolt so you can remove it. This bar acts as a lever. Lie the wheel down flat under the bar and press the end downwards to break the bead. Works better if you fit a shaped bit of metal to the bar to press down on the bead. Its hard to explain in text but painfully simple on practice.

cheers, many thanks.
i did find a pic of using a bit of wood and running a vehicle up it until bead releases, not to keen on that though!!!
