put some slime in my SIP tubeless rims and tyres a few weeks ago and when i decided to check the pressure in rear today i found the valve was blocked.i even removed the whole valve from the rim and it seems its the passageway through the rim thats blocked. does anyone know of any way to unblock this without removing the tyre ??

Just to update this. I got a length of mig wire from work and ground one end to a point an put a near enough right angled bend about 2cm from end. I could then get it in airway hole in rim (after removing valve) and clear the sealent quite easily.
