I feel like deflating the tire by removing the core/valve, followed by a generous amount of tire soap or Windex would help in saving the tools next time around.
I broke a couple Tusk spoons on a MotOz Tractionator Adventure tire on my KTM. I have about the same array of spoons you do. I spent the weekend putting on a set of tires on the Bonneville and my SXS. Relearned a whole bunch of stuff 😁
I usually don't have any trouble installing bib mousses, but this one was too big for the tire. Once we were done it felt like it had 50 psi in the tire. Live and learn.
Thanks for the bib mousse change. 😊 Sorry for the loss of the tools.
No trouble I am going to heat them up and see if I can reshape them.

Use some Lube.. soap..
If you are bending a tool like that, you are doing something wrong.
Thanks for sharing the tutorial, I bought this tire irons last week and it works fine: amazon.com/dp/B0D5PVJZJH
😄😄😄😄
Those iron might be over kill for a dirt bike, but looks like they will work on John Deer tractors.
