A tool for breaking a bead of a tire from a wheel rim includes a clamping device and prying device. First and second jaws of the clamping device clamp onto the wheel rim. As the jaws clamp together, the second jaw wedges between the tire and wheel rim, forming a gap therebetween. The second jaw includes a hook that provides a fixed leverage point when the clamping device is fixed in place. The prying device engages with the fixed leverage point, and a wedge disposed on a bend in the prying device is wedged into the gap formed by the clamping device. The prying device is then levered on the fixed leverage point toward the tire so that the wedge pushes on an outer surface of the tire to break the bead of the tire from the wheel rim.
