wow july. you could watch some videos of how to do it yourself. or maybe a younger son or nephew or young blood would help ya if need be.
I bought a pair of tire irons 20 years ago (royal dist. I think. ) add a butter knife or two and go at it.
it is very important that you follow your owners manual when re and replacing the wheels on the bike.
EDIT- @Wingboy!? thought you could do this in your sleep !

Hahahaha. Stupid me. Ted took the old rear tire off and the new tire went plop. Right overtop of the rim. Stupid me ordered a 18 instead of a 17. Ted had a 20% used tire correct size. Sold! I'll return the 18 for 17 and put it on in a month for so. Ted did an oil change too. I'm good to go. 
How's Ted doing these days? I had been wondering about him
Seemed very happy to me. He's a good guy.
Has anyone tried one of these?

That's going to be a tough slog. Isn't a no-mar in that pricing ballpark? Let us know how it is if you play with one.Has anyone tried one of these?

A no mar might be an extra hun or two......not sure.
The ratcheting system seems to make it nearly effortless, and it's portable.
