Dont want to patronize but make sure you're not pulling at the inner tube when you insert the lever.

Also smear some washing up liquid around the rim of the tyre then try to remove it.

Them BFRs are deeeeep rims, I had trouble get tyres on and off them. Make sure that the inner tube is fully deflated... other than that just needs elbow grease and patience

Snorkel deep with the sound of it! Try the handle end of a Bahco adjustable wrench to get in and then move in either side of that youve lifted and inch it out bit by bit.
