G'day....I am new around here too so I'll tell you what I have read thusfar?
Post without pix aint worth jack...or words to that effect.

No worry to me as I cannot see pix without a lot of work.
Sooo.. jes where are you having trouble?
Got tyre levers, soap and the valve mech out of tube?

Inner side of tyre on first. Place valve in rim penetration and
fold tube into tyre. Inflate to seat tube, deflate. Soap up outer
bead of tyre and lever over rim edge.
Inflate to seat tyre, deflate and fit valve mech.
Pump up tyre to manual spec.

Oh...and DO put the cap on valve, keeps the crud out of the valve.

Trust that helps some.

And when you are working on putting tire over rim compress opposite side so both sides go into center part of rim, that will give you a little more room.
Be careful not to pinch tube with screw drivers or what ever you are walking tire on with.

Yeup...that too

And in respect of my earlier comment re "posts without pix" I offer one way to break the bead on
a "man's tyre" for the largely disabled operator.
