Acetylene torch works good.... just put some in tire and light it off. My grandfather does all of his tractors that way lol. (Dont hold me accountable if something bad happens)

Ive also see big m80s work on the trail

Your best bet? Take it to a shop.

You can run a ratchet strap around the tire and tighten it up till it puts pressure from the tire to the rim and add air and as adding air press and beat on side wall it should go if no luck take some soapy water and rub the bead and try again
