Your going to have to get on the deck and work on it lying down. Use your forearms as the fulcrum. Keep your hands and the liner as dry as possible, it's like a greased pig when it's wet.

Fold the bead to the wall side over on itself. Pull up on this part of the liner above the "slot". As you lessen the pull on the bead to let the liner now drop "down" towards the "slot", the bead will begin to unfold at a 90degree angle from the vertical liner wall section, thus sliding into the slot.

I'm sure that sounds weird, but as waste and I have said it's sort of hard to describe.

I just made my first hot water attempt with no success. I probably got it to come up about a half inch in the very center. The liner is 9 years old but still feels very pliable. I will try again when my fingers recover. I'll keep you posted.
Lowering the water may be the next step.
