It's basically done the same way as a bicycle tire. Clymers has a section on changing tires. They suggest using some old leather gloves to protect the rim from the irons/spoons. If you planned to use the tape to protect the rim, don't. It's too thin to do the job. If you have trouble breaking the bead, try a C-clamp, or a couple of C-clamps and some short boards. Bead lube can be helpful to lube the new tire and get it to slip onto the rim. I've also used a mixture of dishwashing liquid and water. You want it slippery, so don't put a lot of water in the soap. Be careful not to pinch the new tube.
