I know how easy it is to damage the silicone seal Keith that gives the spoked wheel tubeless tyre properties. Suffice to say don't be tempted to adjust spokes however slightly - you will damage seal, although I managed local repairs on mine as below.

I found my local village tyre supplier did have the cones to balance following a puncture and later damage of my own doing on a couple of wheels as above. I did ask them to be careful removing tyre(s) though and on each occasion just took the wheels over.

Maybe I just got lucky but just asking around may solve your quandary.
