That is one heck series of unfortunate events! I'm glad that you got them fixed in the end.
Anyway, one thing I observed mechanics do here when changing tires, they use a long G.I. pipe that would serve as an extender to the tire wrench for extra leverage.

Well... I hope all those bad vibes will be left behind in 2024 and you will have a much prosperous 2025.

Happy New Year!
