You must be stronger than me. I put my full weight into a few beads and still couldn't get them to pop. Didn't bend the bar though. So I'd reset the tire and try another spot and it would break free. Had to do that on a few. Also what helped with dismount is a spray bottle of soapy solution.
I put a magnet on the tower to hold the bead breaker up while flipping the tire over.
Bought it on Monday, set it up Tuesday and broke down about 10 tires, so perhaps too early to give a tried and true review. But so far, so good.
Speaking of tire disposal, my yard docks me 100 lbs PER tire. They screw me enough as it is, so I don't take anything in with tires.
