It seemed like it was taking to much force, and I was has problems trying to get it started off.
changeing a tyre the first time is NEVER easy.. or the first 10 times..
It really is a practiced skill... They are easy when you get the hang of them..
I do 6, 10 a year..

Make sure the other side of the tyre from where you are working it , is down in the well in the centre of the rim to give you enough free tyre to lever over
the rim.. & lots of lube.....
