Yes.....Had to change two in one day once which made my right thumb sore.
The secret to success is to work the bead of the mounted/fully-deflated tire into the center of rim making sure tube is inside center of tire.
Once you do that it makes it much easier to remove tire by pulling it over rim using both hands (pinching tire between thumb and index finger).
