   What about what I've seen shops use, an inflatable tube around the   
   entire tire?  That squeezes the tire and makes the bead get close to the   
   rim.  I don't think I've seen that mentioned here.   
      
   On a separate subject, someone on the radio just asked about replacing a   
   tire stem without removing the tire, totally from the outside.   The   
   "expert" answer said yes, but only talked about remvoing the old stem.   
   That doesn't help much.    Can you insert a stem from the outside?
