I am working on the landing gear of my 601XL, and wondering what is the best way to mount tires on the rims. I have the talc powder called out in the instructions that came with the wheels, to go between the tire and tube to let them move against each other. And they call out "grease" around the valve stem. What kind of grease should I use? And do I use liquid dish soap on the tire bead where it seats on the rim like I do when mounting car and tractor tires? I had to grind the side off a small socket wrench to fit the head of the bolts holding the rims together. It was really close to the side of the rim.

You shouldn't need any soap on the tire bead since you are using split
rims that will be assembled with the tire in place. Soap on automotive
tires is just to lubricate the bead area to make it easier to to mount
the tires on the one piece rims.

tke the two pieces, insert tube into tire, place each half of rim on each half of rim, and bolt together. you may need to work the rim a little to inflate. best isd to use a high pressure tire hose. voila! done.
