Tire spoons?

Trying to do it with only one bar is silly. I usually use three bars.

Its Basically high concentrate soapy water. I use it at work all day everyday, most the time just as a precaution to avoid ripping beads or getting stuck and it does not cause any problems balancing.

So does it dissipate? Can't have any sticky goo inside the tires for the beads to stick to.

Well, live and learn. Came with one bar and it's fairly easy to do car tires with one bar. However I'm finding not larger truck tires.

What are you using to break the bead?

These work pretty nice.

The machine has a breaker on a lever and tire holder incorporated into the base of it. Works well but I need to get some DOM tube and rebuild the lever. Sheet metal BS has bent on me while doing these truck tires.

Just use a hilift

Those are much handier than a high lift.

One of my local auto parts store sells the tire irons (Used to be Napa but I think it changed to 123 auto or something). I need to pick up a set. I've been using the Hi-lift bead breaking method.
