So my wheel barrel had sat with some left over concrete bags in it over the winter. The tire has always had a slow, slow leak on it, and I found it not only flat, but popped off it's rim this time. It's a tubeless tire, so in order to use it I had to get the tire seated back on the rim. Usually I'll pull the schrader valve and give it a quick blast of air while squeezing in on two sides of the tire, but that wasn't doing the trick this time. After about 20 minutes of trying this over and over I had just about resolved myself to removing the tire to work on it or just go get another as I had concrete that needed mixing.
The over winter sitting had left the tire with a crease on one side and I simply didn't have enough hands to squeeze it in all directions and give it a blast of air at the same time. I got the idea to try this, and bam! it worked!
