Never fully remove lug nuts while the car is on the ground like you showed, just loosen them slightly before you jack the car up!
I know right? That's just basic knowledge.
My repair kit said to not turn the tools, just straight in and straight out. It worked great.
Great video took me less than 10 minutes...thank you.
when pushing in the plug, stand directly over the tire straddling it. This will give you more weight/leverage on the handle and lets you effectively use both hands.
It’s $60-$70 dollars to get it fixed here so this was a life saver for the time being
You didn't shop around enough. $70 should only be if the whole tire is pulled off, patched inside, you used fix a flat so that needs cleaned out, then remounted and balanced.
Definitely just plugged my first flat thanks to you
it look like when you put the string in you were twisting it in , im guessing that is a must , probably won't work if you just push it in
Never use grease on a tire plug!
Why not?
@@izzykazoo7569 Grease doesn't seal nor does it let the string bond to the tire. It just makes it easy to slide in so you have an easier job.
@@datsuntoyy Grease or glue?
@@izzykazoo7569 Grease. Good catch.
Great video! Good advice! 👍
Thanks, good clear instructions.
why there no rubber cement with the kit, my keep leaking, purchased rubber cement no more leak.
If you use a impact gun you don't need to leave the car on the ground to loosen the nuts. Just jack it off the ground and use the impact gun. All mechanics do it that way.
Good video
I want to see the disk in action, and also no glue?
My strip was very sticky, so I used the grease on it to help it go into the needle better. Hope the grease won't cause the strip to come off the tire..
What kind of grease? Shouldn't use any lubricant except rubber cement
@@Chanmantroop10 it comes with the kit
@@1uP-v2 I hope that was rubber glue not grease
@@mohanjha9593 it's not sticky, so definitely not glue.
The pressure of the air from inside the tyre will keep it in place.
Thank you. 🤗
THANK YOU SIR!
I use a battery powered drill with a 1/4 drill bit. Saves time.
I would not do that. Using the hand reamer allows you to better feel the hole and the direction the nail or screw went in. This way your plug fills the existing hole vs removing more tire material than is needed.
Brian Zech I use a battery drill on every tire. You are incorrect....
and potentially makes the hole larger than it should be, increasing the chance of leaks. Plus, most of us don't want to buy a drill to leave in a vehicle for when it might be needed for that. Plus, it doesn't save any time at all, to have to go get the drill, have it keep it recharged, then put it back, compared to the few seconds, as shown in the video, to merely do it by hand. Slackers!
Discount tire does free flat repairs in case you guys want to get it done for you, they’ll do it to manufacturer safety standards and make sure you’re all in good shape!
Not everyone lives 5 mins from a tire shop ; )
Nice to know but if they're just putting a plug in like shown in the video rather than taking the tire off, it's hardly worth driving to them and back, would take more time than DIY unless you just happened to be passing by there anyway and had thought it was a good idea to keep driving on a punctured tire.
Just bought a very similar kit. Hope I don't have to use it.
What to do if plug leaks, and can't get it out?
I've never actually had that issue, but in that case I would think you would need to re-ream & repair it with the tire repair glue which is not in this kit, unfortunately. But its available separately.
cuss and kick the tire. Then go inside and have a drink while you cool off. Come back out and work at it some more. Try using the install tool to push the plug inside the tire. It's light enough it shouldn't mess with balance of the tire.
you also dont always have to remove the tire to plug it
I was with you till I see your working on a car with sandals on. All your cred down the drain.
Meh, he doesn't seem particularly young and still has his feet so... it's a lifestyle, if your climate allows. Beats riding a motorcycle in sandals anyway.
Who gives a fuck what kind of shoes he’s wearing. You’re a tool
Dude.
Hold on !! Did you just removed lug nuts on the ground 😳?
These are a must have..
Dont do it you can not see inside May be a lot of problems inside the tire
This guy is a joke. Don't twist your plug, the rasp tool is also mostly to seperate the steel belts causing minimal damage to them also don't lube the plug
