Well my bike is currently in the shop but the day before my breakdown I had a flat rear tire.  It was surprisingly easy to change,  I just tilted the machine at about 45 deg on the center stand and pulled the tire out from under.   

Now I currently have a Hack being shipped to me and was curious about tire changing with the hack attached to the bike.       Do I just jack up the machine with a scissor jack under the center stand and pull the rear off? Is there some other technique?  What do ya'll do?

A bike with a sidecar is heavy. here's how we do it with a Ural.

We carry a 2x4, about 12 to 18 inches long, beveled at one end. We lay this under the rear tire. As we lift and pull back onto the centerstand, it goes up easier. On a ural, this will allow enough clearance to pull out the back wheel.
If you have engine guards, with a ural you can lift the sidecar up and rest the bike on the left engine guard, for access to the sidecar tire.

Before I talk to the tire changing issue I would like to mention I removed the sidestand on my Bullet as well as the rubber "cushion" on the centerstand. That being said I carry a small  bottlejack and a piece of 6x6x1" lumber in the hack.

I place the bottlejack under the bracket where the sidestand use to be and jack her up until the tire is about 3 inches off the ground. The tire pulls out the right side and back with ease.  Reinstalling is a one-person operation too. 

Oh, the piece of lumber - that's so I don't have to look for something to put under the jack when in a wet, muddy spot.,

I used to carry a bottle jack. The cheap one from Harbor Fright leaked all over my trunk. I will get a scissor jack next.

Hi, A bottle jack that won't leak is an old Land Rover screw jack. Works a treat on my Bullet Cozy rig.
