I have since resorted to breaking the bead on the tire and either pouring the sealant in or dumping it out that way, avoiding the need for a syringe / injector at all.

* I remove the sealant from my wheel sets in the Fall as the wheels just sit for months on end during the Winter or remain stationary on my smart trainer and I don't want the sealant to dry into a pool in one spot in the wheels. I guess this is another disadvantage of going tubeless... you don't have to remove the tubes on wheelsets that see little or no use.
