Thanks for this link Bruce - perfect write up! I especially liked where he said "Just for practice and to get the tire turned around to run in the correct direction I completed another removal and replacement."   Yeah right ... the real reason was to remount the tire the right way. 

I also like his idea of the masking tape with the arrow - both as a reminder when mounting and also to help get the direction right. 

His tips about lubing and re-lubing as the lube dries, is critical, it seems. That is probably the point missed by many whose efforts end in failure. Even the Rabaconda video shows the guys re-lubing as he goes along. 

Lastly, his concluding tips are golden ... including his comment on the supplied grease brush, which until reading his post I thought was cool. I will have to see if I have the same experience.
