[AT] OT: trailer tire mounting

[Roebersauctions at aol.com]

Warren, I made myself a little jig so that I could hold or stop the darn  
thing from slide all over the place. What I did was cut me two piece of 2 X  
4's about 6" long drilled a 3/4 'hole in the middle of the pieces and got me 
a  6" long 3/4" bolt, Put a 2 X 4 on each side of the rim put the bolt 
through the  hole put the bolt in the vise and tighten it down so it don't turn, 
now use  plenty of soap or grease and put the tire on.

Warren,
I have had success using those quick  release clamps like those used in 
woodworking to compress the beads to  facilitate getting the tire onto the rim. 
 It makes it a bit easier to  get the beads down into the deeper part of 
the rim so you can stretch the bead  over the flange on the rim.  A rubber 
mallet is also helpful for tapping  the bead over the rim.

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