space saver mounting

[TLea]

Whats the trick to mounting a space saver tire on rim? I can get lower bead on but top seems impossible because collapsed tire doesn't seem to flex enough

Tim,
Have not done this and have only read about it so here is what I have heard so far....
Most info says it must be inflated to be mounted or dismounted and even with lots of lube it is very difficult to get the bead to seat on the rim--it is also time consuming to deflate and get "shrunk" one comment says it takes 3 people!!!another says paint will be damaged on reinstalling no matter what you do..so Best of luck and be careful
R.R.  I think you may need a tire shop with "older type equipment" to help.
