Re: Change a tubeless tire yourself
That can't be how it is done. I did not see any sweat or hear any cursing at all
That is a good instructional for the process. A couple of hints I have picked up from doing my own:
First make sure the new tire is warmed up good. That can make a huge difference when trying to seat the bead. If it is a warm day just lay it out in the sun for a few minutes. If it is cold put it over a heat register in the house and warm it up.
Second do not use soap based lubricants on aluminum wheels. Corrosion will develop. Something neutral like Armour All is much better.
