There is always the old ether and a match trick.  :evil:

Yup, that works fine, but these days for some odd reason,OSHA discourages using starter fluid to help seat beads.
Luckily they had 2 "Bead Blasters".  
Hint:  use ear protection...

Another hint:  On the last tire, I separated the beads by 4 x 6"  pieces of wood to facilitate painting the inside w/Dawn and left the pieces in overnight.  When i removed the lil pieces of wood in the morning, the beads were not clamped together like they were when the UPS man dropped the tire off at my house.  The tire guy seated the beads on the 1st shot.
