What is Proper Tire Repair? See How It's Done.

Показать описание

There s a time and place for a tire plug, but a proper tire repair means removing the tire from the wheel, inspecting the inside, drilling with a carbide bit, buffing to a rough finish, gluing and filling the hole with a one-piece repair unit. When the repair unit is set, I seal the buffed surface with a repair sealer, before mounting and re-balancing the tire -- We fix over 1300 tires a year -- See how I fix a nail hole using a permanent REMA plug/patch combination repair in my shop.

Okay, this is the way. Never saw a patch plug combo. Did only patches. Like wow. Thanks

Great video, short, and all the important details are shown.

Thank you. I have a small engine repair shop. I usually plug a tire puncture but I have a zero turn in the shop that has a cut in the center of the tread. It’s about the size of a knife blade puncture. Ordering the prep and sealant you showed in the video. Will get the other tools ASAP.

At shop we use break cleaner to wipe off any contamination right before applying the glue

This guy sells a house with a “fresh paint job”… Sanded it down and paints without first cleaning away the dust 😂 I bet he’s also the the mechanic that never lines up the manufacturer balance dot with the value stem and then hands customers wheels back with 30 weights on them.

Then probably uses a rattle gun to do up the final lugs nuts.

Top demo!

The patch I used had stickers all over it that needed to be exposed. I followed these instructions doing it wrong because the patch used in this video apparently has no stickers to expose. I recommend watching a few videos on this process to make sure you do it right.

Hey, so my tire is like $420 and I’m leasing my Toyota 4Runner.. so it got a nail in it about a year ago which they patched and now it’s leaking and they say they can’t fix it and they want me to buy a new tire. Can they take the old patch off some how and redo it? I feel like I’m getting ripped off.! 😭

How do you get the tire off without breaking the bead?

You can just put an inner tube instead!

You didn’t remove the blue tape on the patch stem and under the round of the patch? How does that work ???

in the real world, everybody just want it fast without removing the tyre from the rim . It's a cruel world now but that's how it works

The most important part is to let the glue dry or the patch won't adhere. Ask me how I know.

Hmm it would be possible to 3d print a hub mount to center on a rod, should be close balance by hand. Heck today would be easy to set up 2 load cells and a hall effect sensor to grab vibration and run out electric motor to spin it up. These are balanced 3 dimensional correct? Thanks I think I will look into your materials and tools. Is ether best to seat bead? or just pop with high pressure air?

Would of been nice if you slowed down for two more seconds and talked about the actual patch and what you need to do if anything out from the outside of the tire “ie. trim it”
