I just use tire talk all over the tube and inside of the tire, not too much, just enough to coat the surfaces.
Then put the tube inside the tire, and put a little air in the tube just to inflate it into shape inside the tire.
Then I put the halves of the wheels together, making sure the valve stem is where it needs to be.
If it is too hard to push the two halves together, let some air out of the tube but make sure it is still inflated enough to hold its shape and not get pinched.
Snug the bolts down and inspect to make sure everything looks good, then torque the bolts.
Fill the tire to the pressure you want and install.
While you are doing that, might as well clean, inspect, and re-pack your bearings. I use gasoline or laquer thinner to get them clean. Inspect for any flat spots or other signs of wear. Make sure all the bearings move smoothly. Use an air compressor to blow out all of the gasoline or laquer thinner, but hold the bearings so the air doesn't spin them. Pack them with as much grease as you can.
Clean the wheel really good and inspect the wheel itself for any damage.
Put in the bearings making sure the bearings go back into the exact same side they came out of, do not mix them up. And install your wheel/tire assembly back onto your plane.
Hope this helps!
