Suggestions / help for removing and reinstalling a VERY tight tire

I remember I had a heck of a time when I installed Conti GP 4000 (700x23) on a pair of Velocity A23 rims about 2 years ago. [MENTION=168526]TejanoTrackie[/MENTION] suggested I use a VAR tire jack which helped a lot. Now its time for new tires and I can't get the old tires off, even using the tire jack. If I get them off I want to install Conti GP4000 700x25 tires. I watched a few online videos. The one on the Velocity site was most helpful. Got any other suggestions? Thanks.
