Bah. Takes me 2 minutes and that includes pouring myself a coke and a trip to the john.
Been there done that, and I won't be doing it alone again.

I am accustom to wrestling small donkeys but they have a tail to grab onto, the back tire was just as heavy and nothing to grab onto. I figured it out after a while, by getting the tire under the bike and lowering the jack a bit, then slipping it into the final drive, but it took awhile to get smart.
I sit down directly behind the rear fender, put the wheel up on both of my legs and use my legs to lift the wheel into place. Then just push it onto the final drive and make sure the splines are lined up. Seriously...a caveman can do it in under 5 minutes.Weenie!!
Everything I have read about removing tires to have new tires mounted would indicate nothing to it I aint that cheap to ever do that crap again
