Be very careful if you do this as its very easy to pinch the tube with the levers as you cant see under the bead.
I had gatorskins on my navigator pistas, worst trye rim combination ever, turned my thumbs purple.
Try a little bit of washing up liquid on the rim and push the sidewall over with your palms rather than thumbs, little by little.
