Rear tire removal

I have finally finished the front axle and the rear axle spring on my roadster. All my parts came in variable assembly and the rear axle is separated but with the tires still on. I can’t figure out a way with the tools I have to take it out. It is surprisingly stiff in there. Ps. I don’t have any wheel remover tools anywhere and I don’t know if I need them or not.

I use three 24" tire irons from HF to remove and mount clinchers. Easy stuff. But if the tires are old, hard, and rusted on you may have to cut them off.

Jace, not clear if you are wanting to remove the rear wheels from the axle or the rear tires from the wheels. Either case you will need special tools. To remove the rear wheel from the axle you need a Ford Model T rear wheel puller that screws onto the hub cap threads, or a wheel knocker that screws over the rear axle shaft. To remove a clincher tire from a wheel or a demountable rim you need tire irons, two of them, about 24" long. But if the tires are old and hard, as Steve said, you might need to cut them off.
