All it took was the proper lube, faith that it would work and about 8 cycles. 4 really don't count as I was using a lube mixture that was too watery. The next 4 cycles had the bead getting closer and closer on the top, but the bottom seated first and scared the poop outta me. It did take 80 pounds of pressure. I used a clip on air chuck and the pressure regulator on my compressor to cycle the air up. Next cycle and you could see the bead coming out on the top side, stood clear and POP. Wear safety glasses to keep the soap out of your eyes, I'm glad I had mine on. 50/50 Dawn and water really makes a good lube. Tire reports back the same speed compared to GPS that the Metzler 880 did.
