Rolling the bike carefully and breaking the bead gives me visions of someone trying to do this with no air in the tires. Not sure what is going on.
I got the whole “rolling” the tire thing from a GCN YouTube video. He actually had the wheel on a table and rolled and squished the tire to spread sealant all over the inside of the tire.
