OK!Here is one way....sure there are others.
On a suitable work space, place the wheel with back side down.
Cover the wheel with a 20/30 gal barbage can liner.
Place the tire over the liner with the backside down.
Push the tire down on to the wheel with your hands.
Using your fingers and thumbs work the bead of the tire over the rim.(Use your feet if you hands are not strong enough)
When the rear bead is in place, pull the liner out.
Put a slight amount of air in the tube.Put it in the tire.
Put the valve stem in place.
Put the liner back into the tire.It should be covering the wheel and inside the tire.
Using the same method as above, work the outside bead of the tire on to the rim.Pull the liner out of the tire.
Fill the tire with about 40 pds air.Bounce the tire on the floor to help seat the tube.Let out all the air.
Refill it to 35psi and mount it on the car.No scratches.No tool marks.No mess.
Have fun!
Paul
