Rear tyre change XTR

Ok I'm getting good at changing my front tyres myself and have a upcoming change to do on the rear, but I have some questions relating to the safety bead on the rear.

on the front you a break the bead on both sides nice and easy with only your hands, but with the safety bead on the rear are you still looking to break both sides at the beginning? it looks like once the bead is popped both sides should be sitting in the dish. which seems a little crowded for trying the get leavers in, or do you just pop one bead do that side then pop the other?

I'll be removing a e07 to fit a e09 both very stiff.
