1. Take the tyre off the car.

Never repair a tyre while it is still attached to your vehicle. The tyre needs to be removed from the car and from the wheel to access its inner surface.

       2. Examine both inside and outside the tyre

If you don't check inside the tyre for hidden damages, your repair might be incomplete. Checking inside of your tyre can also show where you can seal the puncture from both sides.

       3. Remove what caused the puncture.

Find the spot where your tyre was punctured and remove the nail, wire or other foreign objects that pierced the tyre with a pair of pliers. Do this carefully to prevent further tyre damage. The hole needs to be entirely cleaned, so nothing gets left behind.

       4.Fill the hole or puncture path.

Use a suitable vulcanising material or rubber stem to fill and seal the puncture to keep moisture out completely.

       5. Treat the inner tube.

The tyre's inner-liner needs repairs as well. It should be cleaned, buffed, cemented, patched and coated and sealed to prevent air loss.

       6. Do a final check on the tyres.

Before returning the tyre to the wheel and vehicle, make sure that the patch is thoroughly dry.
