Found it was going to be more difficult than I thought. Watched this video, tire mounted and inflated 10 minutes later. Thanks!! Never mounted (or even seen for that matter) a tire before.

When I tried it myself and it worked like a charm, I just about freaked out, I was so happy! I have had less success patching punctures in my tubes. The patch never seems to stick, even though I follow the instructions.
