Cleaned and repacked the wheel bearings. Mounted the tire after warming the bead up a bit with a heat gun (it was only 45° in the shop when I started). Had I planned a bit better, the tire would have warmed in the house. The heat gun worked well though - the tire went on easier than any in recent memory. Finally ready to put the rear wheel on and get this thing rolling!
