On a Schrader valve, you must take the valve out and use a hose to squeeze the liquid into the tube. Then, reinstall the valve and inflate. Again, while the tire is still on the rim and bike. No need to remove anything other than the valve. Many caps have a notched molded tip for this reason, if not, the tool is cheap and readily available most anywhere.
hehe yep I fixed the front tyre so I know the process of doing it

I had another go after I posted in here and the slime is getting stuck in the valve but not going into the inner tube.

Does anyone know how I would unclog the valve? It's free of slime at the moment as I've cleaned it out and it inflates fine but the slime can't pass through it.

Thanks
