i have, i have, it's awfully hot outside to be doing it, drink plenty of liquid. i did it using a tire bar (flat long bar with a curved end used to get under the bead) a sledge hammer (to break the bead loose) and a crow bar (to hold the bead above the rim).
just make sure you drink plenty of liquid cause it's hot out.
