One thing missing in both those videos is the mention of temperature. Working with a cold tire is much more difficult than a warm one. If you're changing tires in a cold garage during the winter, take the tire inside and warm it up before working on it. It makes it a lot easier.

Also if you don't have a rim lock it's easiest to start removing the tire from near the valve stem, and finish at the valve stem when putting it back on. That's because the stem prevents the bead from going all the way into the dish of the rim.
