Do that, it will be easier in the long run. Look at john's post on the hipers, I said there how much trouble I had getting the front tires mounted to the rims. My best sugestion is to get someone who has done this before.

The tires need to be pryed onto the rims with a tire iron, crow bar, or big screw driver. Then put soap, wd-40, etc on the bead, and take a ratchet strap and wrap that around the tire and start cranking down on it. That will help to get the bead set.
