Ive done them before on the road:
And in case you don't have these, Here's some must have tools, in addition to tire irons.
bead breaker tool, like this motion pro.

Next is this nifty tool that is worth every penny. Valve stem puller

next, tire pump. I would Stay away from the cheap $10 12v pump from Slime. It will take you 10 minutes to pump up the tire b/c the flow volume is miniscule. Also, you need a heavy duty pump w/ high psi to expand the tire so the bead will seat. This is what I recommend:

You will also need a 12mm/13mm wrench to remove the valve stem nut, and
whatever special tools to remove the axle.
And, from my experience w/ this, I don't patch up a tube unless absolutely necessary. Heat from the road will melt the glue and air will leak out down the road. I always use a new tube anytime a leak has to be serviced. So carry spare tubes.
Bring a small bottle of WD40 or some sort of bead lubricant and apply it on the tire bead before reinstall so that the rim of the tire will easily slide into place to seat against the rim. If the tire's rim doesn't seat completely around the rim, the tire will have a flat spot or a wobble, and you will know it right away as you're going down the road.
I think that's the jist of it.
