I got it. I used the tire levers at the last several inches. One on each farthest part where the bead was already in place. Then worked them inward. It worked.
See what I was doing for the last 90 minutes is called the definition of madness; trying to do the same thing over, and over again when it didn't work the first time.
Those You Tube Vids gave a little incite, but none of the ones I looked at showed this. I think I did something similiar to this, but It was so long ago I forgot.
I removed a tire from the front rim of my Trek in April, and put a Continental Gatorskin, and tube on, all in less then 15 minutes and I was out the door.
