Today I'm gonna show how to plug a tire that's got a nail in it or a
screw or whatever.
The tools you need to repair a tire a punctured tire
are the tire
plugs, some rubber cement, a pair of pliers to
pull out the offending nail, a
ream and a plug insertion tool.
The first thing you do is find the nail just by inspection usually. Sometimes the head
will be worn off of
the nail and all you see is just a little stub, If it's
especially if it's in the tread but if it's between the tread the head might
still be there.
Leave the nail in there until you're ready to plug.
These are tire plugs. You can buy them at Walmart or any part store
and they're just a string with the
rubber - they're like a rubber impregnated string and they're sticky
and gooey. So get one of those.
It's like a stick of licorice or something. And you'll insert that in the
plug insertion tool like so.
See how it's got like a eye of a needle and you just put it right in there
pull it down in there okay
about halfway down the plug you wanna have this inserted.
okay so the idea is once I pull this out air's gonna be escaping.
I want to use this ream to ream out the hole really good
and then I'm just gonna jam this in there and pull the tool back out. The tool
will leave the plug in there.
This tool will just slide right off the plug and the plug will stay in there
and then I'll trim it flush. Before you install the plug
wanna put some rubber cement on it usually an eighth flat repair kit
it comes with plugs and with rubber cement this access a live work and and
as a blue
and you just now set real good with reverse a net
where a to go so we'll pull the nail out with the freemen the whole
this is a fairly small hole so it's hard to get three men there
you're going down into steel belts
see can kinda feeling separate men get Hathaway
should go of
think you can see the
value in buying heavy-duty plug installation kit
they make little wimpy once that
fall part handles usually come off so we wanna
still up in the air
this regime until it gets easy
of much because we're gonna have to put the plug in and pull out the plug tool
so we need
enough room to do that and the dream will ensure that the whole is big enough
for the plug
okay
feels like we have a good ol here
so you can leave they remain there to kind plug it so air to escape
may go ahead and put a little bit more rubber cement on their
has it dried while I was doing all that remain
put this little bit more on their of
slow against up
the floor
really fast illegal and you can see I left a little bit %uh the plug on site
cool the two lower so the plug is inside and its expanding
the on the whole and in the glue is helping blew it
shot and seal it then you could just M
trend that abuses here
craft night for whatever you can just ran out of plush
or when it's that low use leave it if there was a lot of things
now hytrin but that aware of as the tire runs
