    Abstract: Tubeless tire demounting tools which include a dual handle roller tool, a double hook bracket tool and a shoe tool which are used in various combinations to demount vehicle tires from wheel rims. The double hook bracket tool is initially fitted on the rim flange of the wheel rim after the tire has been deflated and the dual handle roller tool is then positioned into engagement with the double hook bracket, between the tire and wheel rim to facilitate partial demounting of the top bead of the tire. The double hook bracket is then repositioned across a diameter of the wheel rim and the shoe tool is positioned in engagement with the double hook bracket between the tire and wheel rim for demounting the opposite tire beads of the tire from the wheel rim.
