I lube up the beads with a tire soap that reminds me of vaseline. Reduces the effort to mount probably by halfThen maybe I got a different version as even using oil I can only get halfway around before I can no longer pull the mounting tool. I have to resort to flat blade screwdrivers. Now brand new are a little easier to mount but even on most I have to use the screwdrivers.
I know use enough pull as I have bent the center post of the changer.
The hard part is making sure after i start the bead to keep it toward the middle of the rim to have enough give to be able to use the tool to pop the bead over.
