40min of playing with the tire irons, i gave up. i couldn't get that darn tire off. i tried to warm it up.... no luck.

I have found that the hardest part was getting the third tire iron insertion, so I bought myself a third tire iron.
The typical approach was with two. The first step is easy: Soap up the rim! Slip both irons under the bead. Rotate the first iron over, which is the greatest force required. Second iron is already in place and set, just flip it over. Some force required, not as much as the first. Now you have to move the first iron to a new spot and somehow work it under the bead, which can be a bitch.
So you use a third iron, have all three set before you flip the first one. By the time you flip the third one the tire is getting loose over the flange and it almost will just fall off.
Another mistake I would make was trying to take the other tire bead off the same side of the rim that the first one came off. Don't! Flip the wheel over and do the same thing on the other side. Now you shove the rim deep into the tire and just peel the tire off the rim.
The real trick in putting it back together is to not pinch the tube and to use a LOT of soap!
