Tubeless tire installation

I wondering if there is a trick to getting the bead of the tire back on the rim. I can do it but it is not very easy. It can take me up to 1/2 hour to re-seat the tire. Thanks.

Kool Stop makes a very clever tool called the bead jack that make re-seating tires super easy. Watch it in action in the <a href="http://bikeride.com/fix-flat-tire/">flat tire tutorial</a>.
