I will try the wedge and hammer method but I'm not too optimistic .

I had a few Morris Commercial 16" wheels to do so I made up this tool from bits of steel and pipe etc. one Saturday morning.
Mk.1 worked but needed some improvements.
Mk.2 Had a reinforced jaw and a chain with a long bolt to pull the toe of the jack hard into the wheel under the rim.
The jig can be moved around the rim depending on how the tyre is coming off.
I had 9 wheels to do with 2 commercial 8.25 x 16 and 2 run flats but they all came off without a lot of effort.
Regards to all.
