So I did it. Got my new tire on, spent hours polishing the rim and got my last set of dyna beads in it. Went for a ride and immediately noticed the tire was flat. Pull in the garage and before i hopped on here to see if there was maybe a way to properly reseat? The bead i figured i would make sure the valve stem was tight. I turned a couple times and pop. Now the damn thing wont go either way. Is there any way to get it out short breaking the whole tire off? I dont want to lose my beads.

Take it back off the bike and take the tire to someplace with a tire machine that has a bead breaker on the side of the machine. You can have them just break the one side and hold the spoon in enough to replace the whole valve stem. Then just air it up. Its not necessary to remove the tire from the wheel.

That's what I was thinking. On here somewhere there is a thread about changing tires. There is some pictures of a jig built to break the bead.
