Nonsense; let the air out and then hit the side of the tire with a mallet to break it loose.

the wheels are two halves bolted together but then you still need a bead breaker to get the tire off.
How to change tires – are the wheels built in halves that you can disassemble or is it like a car tire and you have to use one of those tire removal machines? I am not at the airplane now and won’t have access for a few days to look.
