Make sure you have the bead into the smallest id of the wheel - the tire
will be angled across the wheel
like a hypotenuse on a right angle if done correctly. Do one bead at a time
! As you pry the bead down over the wheel ramp or the curl having the other
side of the bead pulled into the smallest id will make it easier - use a
non-detergent type soap as a lube - Murphy's Soap is perfect !
Once you do a couple it's like riding a bicycle - it's easy and you won'[t
forget !

I'd enjoy watching you push that first bead on by hand ( assuming no tire
irons )
Let us know how it turns out.
