Reseating the bead on a small tire, BR area

Is there anywhere I can bring a small tire and rim in the BR area for them to reseat the bead? It's roughly the size of a small go-kart tire. I've watched youtube videos and tried several different methods but I can't get it done.

Try a ratchet strap around the tire then ad air?

Find a shop with some Mexicans. Don't kill yourself trying to do it. I've been there.

Use grease around the tire and a ratchet strap

I’ve done rope, wire rope, ratchet strap...nada. The fire trick is not an option on this tire

This. I never can get the ratchet strap to work. Get some starter fluid and spray I little along where the tire and wheel meet making sure that some gets in the inside tire. Get a torch and watch the magic. Will scare the shite out you, but the tire will pop back on the wheel and mostly inflated. You’ll never try a ratchet strap again.

I took the wheel off when I did it, but this guy doesn’t.

You can get it tighter this way than with a ratchet strap. Make sure to get a squirt bottle with soap/water and liberally spray the beads on both sides of the tire. Also make sure you're using a good amount of compressed air. Like 120psi. Not one of those cigarette lighter air pumps.
