What Uncle Fuzzy said *except*!

If you plan to re-use the tube, and maybe even if not, you do not want to
unbolt the wheel halves until after you break the tire beads. Let the air
out, break the beads, then unbolt the wheel halves.

If you do unbolt the wheel halves first, and then have difficulty breaking
the beads, it's easy to pinch the tube between the wheel halves as you work
to get the beads pushed towards the center of the wheel.
