Steve & Cliff,
The dish washing detergent, just a drop or two, will reduce the surface
tension of the water allowing it to wet out better.

Put the tube in the tire, take the valve core out, put some air in and
let it deflate, put the wheel halves together.

I would add that a dentist's mirror works good for visually checking the
condition of the tube before cranking down on the bolts.

I read about this trick after my wheels were assembled, so I
can't tell you how well it works - take some thin cardboard
or stiff paper and cut a long strip. Put it around the wheel
hub and tape the ends together. Now when you slide the halves
together, the cardboard should act as a barrier between the
tube and the wheel, preventing it from being pinched.

Plenty of corn starch powder or talcom powder on the tube and on the wheel
inner surface works well with a half inflated tire the tube will tend to
slip up over the wheel seam rather then sticking and getting caught and
pinched but go slow it can be done. the mains are much easier. but use the
powder in them also for ease of assembly.
