Tire repair DIY

I used to let the shop do it, but suffered from slow leak; so I decided to try it myself about 3 years ago. As that fix worked out so perfectly well, when I had a bad luck again recently I did it again and recorded the process.



As you see, it is fairly easy and a repair kit costs only few dollars. The key for a successful fix:

• File the hole well, otherwise the glue won't work well.
• Put the glue on the plug thoroughly, otherwise slow leak.
• Don't push the plug all way in, leave about 1/2" tails out.
• Straight in, don't twist; straight out, quickly.
