Default Another dyna bead ?

Can I put the dyna beads in a mounted tire with air in it?

Do I need to do anything to the valve stem, or can I just pour them in with the applicator?

The valve core needs to be removed, so you'll have to let the air out.

Just take the core out and after the air is out just pour them in just go slow just a little at a time or it clogs up real fast. take a pencil and tap the stem to clear the clog. It takes a while to do just take your time. It's worth it they are the chit

You are not actualy taking the valve stem out, just the poppet valve inside the stem. It just unscrews with the special tool mentioned above. and yes, you can just screw it back in and refill with air.
