My presta side doesn't work. I'm assuming it's bunged up with sealant.
How do you clean it out?. Does soaking it help?
It doesn't look like it can come to bits.

pretty sure they come apart - there is a screw head on the opposite side of the yellow lever.

you can also unscrew the retaining cap on each side of the head and pull out the rubber seal.

I've tried the 2 dots with some circlip pliers but it seemed pretty tight.
I shall try again.

I thought it was this head (link)
If not, throw away my advice 🙂

Latex once set won't dissolve, you need to scrape it out. Or blast it clear with an air hose.
