Ken,
You must be paying the Preacher more than me.
I wasted about Five Hours, trying to get the Beads ,in one Wheel.
I tried a lot of things ,one was using an old Radio Antenna that would reach
past the threads of the Valve ,another a Straw inserted in the Valve
opening, nothing worked.
When you remove a Wheel and laying flat the Valve is about 45* ,the beads
still would no flow,.I tilted the Tire till the Valve was Vertical and they
still jammed and I had to Vibrate the Stem to make them flow.
Then I discovered, that if you lay the Tire in the Sun ,the air heats and
starts coming out the stem and if you poured the beads slow enough they
wouldn't jam ,you can see the beads being blown out of the stem and keeping
it cleared.
