Fixing a flat

I have a small beach cart I use for hauling stuff to/from the beach, usually beach chairs and such, but sometimes fishing gear. The cart was originally sold as a fishing cart and is built to carry more weight than the typical cart, thus the pneumatic tires.

Unfortunately, a tire went flat and got rolled around a bit, causing the tire to become unseated. After much time of messing with it, I turned to the web for help in getting the tire seated.

Ultimately, I stumbled upon this link at eHow: http://www.ehow.com/how_6648168_homemade-tire-bead-seating-tool.html, which worked swimmingly (and a little to my surprise).

However, I was saddened that I didn't have any lighter/starter fluid because this one appealed to me (greatly): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-9AxvoXFZ0&feature=related
