If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there
Replied by facade on topic Breaking a tyre bead
In The Olden Days I used to drive over the tyre close to the rim, took a few goes usually.
I have seen a curved foot for the hi-lift that is supposed to pop the tyre off if you hook the jack under the front bumper of a defender and lift it off the floor.
Nowadays I take them to a tyre fitter and get them changed over.
