One other suggestion is to blow up the tube a tiny bit and shove the tube in then try and mount the tire until you get to a point where its impossible without leaking air out. That's the time to let out the air and roll the bead into the rim. This will eliminate the bead catching the tube causing it to flat.
I'll try that again but my hands are quite arthritic and those final 3-4 inches are tighter than a prom queens knees. and no lie bro my hands hurt, but no shops open.
