Hi Simon, I always used the sidestand to break the bead on tubeless tires. Put the tire under the sidestand and lean on the bike, usually works. The problem is resealing the bead. It takes a great volume of air to seat the bead which is almost impossible to get any where but in a tire shop, even if you put a strap around the tire and tighten it close to the rim...
Cheers
