difficulty removing tire (to install a new one)
Hi,
I have deflated the front tire to the point that it no longer pusher air out, but this goo that seals punctures. Still, the tube is inflated enough to prevent the removal of the tire.
I wonder what can be done now, since I can't deflate the tube anymore than it is deflated already.

Put the valve stem at the TOP of the tire, then try to take more air out. The "liquid" "goo" should flow to the bottomish of the tube and let a bit more air out. Alternatively, remove the valve core and poke a small screwdriver or spoke into the tube through the valve.

Is this a normal tire and tube that you added sealant to, or is it a tubeless tire?
Also, are you planning to discard this tire? If so, feel free to stab it with an icepick or something to make a puncture big enough for the sealant to leak through.

Edit: It took some force to put the new tire on, and I guess I applied too much of it, because five minutes after inflating it, it was completely deflated. I think I ruined the tube.
Edit 2: I take that back. The tube is fine.

I have no idea. It happened in two minutes it took me to re-install that wheel. I then tried to inflate it with a small hand pump and it seemed to go nowhere. Then I gave it to a bike mechanic to check, and to also replace the tire in the rear wheel (I was afraid to ruin its tube as well), and it was fine. It's been a few hours and no air was lost. It's really weird.
