Your welcome, I did forget to mention about which way to take the tire off and putting it back on does seem to have an effect for the better. The best way to describe is shown here right on Park Tool's website..... http://www.parktool.com/products/detail.asp?cat=17&item=TL-10 .
When the guy takes the tire off he starts on the cassette side on the right side of the tire from the valve stem turning it clockwise. Putting back on (Remounting) he also starts at the same point turning it counterclockwise. Yes MTB tires are a real painful process. Try doing a beach cruiser tire lol. Glad this was of help. Enjoy your new tool
