You guys are missing out on all the fun.  I still take pride in =
dismounting tires with tire levers (not screwdrivers!) and mounting them =
with a bit of lubricant and a rubber mallet.  It only needs to be done =
every 2-5 years, so efficiency is not an issue (I=E2=80=99d feel =
differently if I did it for a living).  I can control the operation =
better doing it by hand and better preserve the finish on my painted =
rims, and in the pauses between wheels, I can reflect on the generations =
of vintage/classic sports car and motorcycle owners that preceded me who =
did this way because they could not afford tire changers.  It=E2=80=99s =
an old car and for me, part of the charm is doing as much as I can old =
school (with regard for with safe practice and preservation of the car).

I haven't been following this thread and it may already have been =
mentioned, but before installing the tube in the tire it's good idea to =
sprinkle talcum/baby powder liberally inside the tire, spread it around, =
and shake out the excess.  The powder lubricates between the tube and =
the tire.  Allen Hendrix (Hendrix Wire Wheel) always does that before he =
mounts a tire.

Back when I was mounting tires on wire wheels I always mounted the wheel =
on the changer outside of the wheel up.

If you are installing tubes, you will need a band over the ends of the =
spokes.

You will also need to break both beads loose unless you want to =
struggle.

inflate the tube just a bit, this will make inserting it much easier.

Protip, once the tube is installed and the tire remounted, pull the =
Shrader valve, and inflate the tube to about 15 PSI and let it air out.  =
Then do it again to about 20-25 PSI.  Then install the Shrader  valve =
and inflate.Doing this this will allow the tube to work out any wrinkles =
which can cause a tube failure. =20
