Most tire shops use a product called Ru-Glyde. is a rather thick vegetable soap, meant to be cut about 5:1 with water. You should be able to get it from Napa. Also, you can find both tire spoons and hammers at the Tractor Supply Co. stores. No myself, well I've been known to just use raw brute force, no tools, to mount tires back on the rim. Just lube 'em up reall good first, and most times they'll go on real easy. It ia a good idea to have the rim locked down, though.
BTW, we only cut the lube at 1:1, it works better if it's a little thick.
