Nice write up dude - if you just buy some acetone from Ebay - place the tyres and Acetone in an old biscuit container overnight, they pull straight off the rims the next morning.
As said above - you dont need to submerge the rims and you can use the same Acetone many times. No need to cut the tyres - you can even re use them if you wish.
Most of the guys on here have been using Acetone for years.
