I can relate to the "do-it-yourself" mindset you have. It is rewarding to accomplish a challenging task. I bought 2 small irons, 2 large irons, and a bead breaking hammer, and now do my own tire work. The last ones I did were 16.9x24; that's really as hard as I want to work; they were tough. You will find 9x24 are pretty easy. As to how to do it; I just follow the same basic principles used to change a bicycle tire; just everything is bigger. Dennis mentioned an important point about using the drop center section of the rim. Always make sure that as you pry one side of the tire over the rim, the oposite side is dropped down into the drop center section. I always clean and paint rims while tire is off. Always use new tubes. Talc to lube inside tire and tube. Liquid dish soap to lube tire beads to help getting them pryed over the rims and also helps seat the bead after it mounted. I work carefully; never pinched a new tube. I suggest you want to do the same. Enjoy the experience!
