I have a Tony Hawk Huckaby Series - Jargon and can't figure it out. I can't get the tube out, and the wheel is next to impossible to take off ... I need suggestions, besides buying a new bike.
 
YOU DON'T NEED TO TAKE THE WHEEL OFF

1 turn the bike upside down.
2 take two knife's blunt ones!
3 make shore the all the air is out of the tube
4 take one of the knife's and place it in between the tyre and the rim
5 ( note make shore to use glasses or some eye cover )
6 use it ( the first knife )as a lever to make a space between the tyre and the rim .
7 take the second knife and place it in the space you made with the first knife pull the knife to one side in the smallest part of the gap and then down to lever the Tyre up and off the rim
8 repeat this till the Tyre is off the rim
9 with the iner-tube make shore the cap is off (that is the cap that you unscrew to pump the tube up)
10 for this part you will need a bowl of water
11 pump the tube up and then place it in the bowl (not all of it just 6 or 7 inch's )keep dipping it in to the bowl till you find the puncher (look for bobble's)
12 once you have found the puncher mark it with the yellow pen that comes with most puncher repair kit's and let all the air out.
13 repair the air leek with a patch (make shore you rub the area with the sand paper the come with the kit this well help the patch the stick and use a good amount of glue. ( tip the glue can be applied the the patch first this allow you to see were you have marked the air hole )
14 wait for the glue to dry!
15 once the glue has dryed pump it back up to make shore you have fix the leek ( repeat part 11 ) the let all the air out.
15 place the tube back in to the tyre
16 now replace the tyre on the rim (note it is the same as take it off but levering the tyre back on to the rim
17remove eye protection wash and replace the knife's
18 pump up the tyre and and turn the bike back on to it's wheel's
and test be safe when doing so.

that is it your tyre should now be ok and their was no need to take the Wheel off
ok have fun and good luck

Well first, you are going to HAVE to take the wheel off. It really isn't hard.

2nd, go to bike store and buy a new tube, as well as 2 tire irons (they are made of plastic)

This will make it very easy to get tire off rim and tube out. Always replace tubes, don't even bother trying to patch them. Patches almost always fail.
