Is it possible to do this yourself at home without taking the whole shebang to a tire shop? Just let the air out and pry them off? Or is it necessary to get a special machine. How much do shops usually charge for the service?
Removing tires from rims

You have to use tire machine. The lower the rofile of the tires the harder it is. For instance, I can take 70 profile tires using regular tools (no tire machine needed), but 50 or less will require tire machine.
If you never mount dismount tire yourself, I would strongly recommend people experienced to do this.

It's very easy to scratch/damage the rims if you don't know what you're doing. Take it to a competent shop to do.
Fees normally range from $10 to $20 per tire for dismounting, remounting, and balancing. If you're ONLY dismounting, I don't know how much a shop would charge. If you're already going there for your service work, they might even do it for free.
