That's exactly what i had to do but it was still very difficult. had 3 guys working on it, one holding an end with an iron, the other standing on the back end to get the tire already over toward the middle so it could stretch, and finally someone lubricating and pulling at a little chunk of the bead. I also had the tire heated up next to a fireplace to probably around 130-140 fahrenheit. I did not think it was going to be that difficult but I guess the rubber for the tire must be more stiff than most sport tires.

I posted a picture of where it started to get tough, i thought there was no way but we managed to get it over there with 3 guys doing those jobs.
