No. I just pump it in through the Schrader valve with the bag in place. I do take the Schrader valve out of its mount so it is facing up to allow the fluid to flow out of the pressurized can into it. All the bouncing around of the suspension seems to get the inside of the bag coated. I am sure removing the bag would get a quicker seal but just driving with the fluid inside works pretty quick.

One thing I learned to do, with the sealing fluid in the bag system, before adding more air when towing or after airing down for off-road, is to bleed out a little air before connecting the compressor airline. This releases the small amount of fluid that collects near the Schrader valve and bag airlines. Otherwise, you will end up with sealing fluid in the compressor airline.
