I hate mounting tires as well! Without the proper tools, breaking the bead to get the old tire off is aways a bitch. 4 large C clamps and a small bead breaker does the trick.

Mounting new tire back on?? Without proper lube and a warm 80 degree day, it's a bitch as well.

I would bring it to a shop, but by the time I remove the wheel off the bike, drive to the shop, wait for them to do it, drive back home, and install wheel back on the bike, I would've been done doing it on my own. That's the only reason I do it myself. If I had a good shop close by, I would gladly pay someone to do it.
