[AT] OT: trailer tire mounting

[charlie hill]

Soapy water and lots of it or bead grease if you have it
or can get it.  Get as much of the tire on as you can
then hold it against the rim at one end while you tap
on the bead with a rubber mallet on the other end where
the bead meets the rim.  Squeezing the tire together so that the
sidewalls are close to each other helps too.  If that won't work
I don't know what to tell you.

Anyone got any tips on mounting a small trailer tire using hand tools? I
cannot wrestle this booger on the rim.
