How to fix a car tyre puncture

What's up everybody, welcome to Fix It With Fuzzball. My name's Keith. I'm Rara. And today

we're going to be fixing a puncture on a car tyre. So there's two ways to do this. First you can jack

up the car and take the wheel off or you can just sort of back up or forward like we did there to

find out where the issue is with the screw or nail. This one is a nail. So as you can see there

that's where the nail is inside of the tyre. So we'll remove that first. So using a pair of flat

screwdrivers, pliers, Keith is going to grab hold of the foreign object. In this case

we have a nail. He's going to try and grab hold of those with the pliers and remove them

from the tyre. With the pliers or anything like that, just get in with the screwdriver first

get it out. Obviously, if you've got a screw in there, all you have to do is just unscrew it out

So this is what we're using. This is a car tyre fixer. So there's a link in description as well

you can find this on Amazon. In here, you get a variety of different things. You have this

so you can push it in. You have this, so you can make the hole bigger if it's a tiny little hole

And you also have these strips here, which you can use to hold the tyre in place

And then you've got this, which is a little bit more difficult. It's a little bit more

difficult. You have this, so you can make the hole bigger if it's a tiny little hole. And you also have these strips here. And these are what you use to plug the tyre

So first things first, we get this one. And where the hole is

just push that in the hole just to make it a bit bigger. Like so. You can hear there, there's more air coming out

It's that nearly bigger. Then all we're going to do is open this up

These are quite sticky, but they don't stick to your skin. So you're not going to be left with marks all over you

Right, pull one of these off. Thread that through the little tool, like so

And then pull that, so it's about halfway through, just like so

Then what you're going to do, you're going to get in, where that hole is, you're going to push that in

And then what you need to do, give it a quick hard pull

So now we've got this plugged up, this is all the way in. And we have the sticky stuff inside

So now all we need to do is just give it a pull out. As you can see there, that's come off and the sticky stuff is still inside

Get this little knife, just like so. You just need to trim the excess off

Get in and trim it off. There we go

And that's that tyre plugged up. Then all you have to do is pump it up

So this is the tyre inflator that we use, again, links in the description on Amazon

So give that a search and get this. Just plug this in and then we'll show you what to do

So we have this here and we're just going to connect it on, like so. As you can see there, we're down to 11 psi, 12 psi. So we turn that on

So when that's finished pumping up, all you have to do is just take it off and that's your tyre

good to go. And then as you can see there, that's the tyre all patched up and there's no air coming

out at all. So that's the car tyre done. You've done it before as well, so how did you find it

Yeah, really easy. Straightforward. Just follow the instructions. Once you've done it once

you sort of get the gist of what you've got to do again. Just got to remember, have you spinach to pull that thing out at the very end

And again, it's much easier taking the tyre off. But if you want to do it quickly or

you're sort of stuck on the lay-by or something like that, then all you have to do is get someone to move the car forward or you move them forward slightly, find the issue and then sort it out from

there. So that's how you repair a car tyre at home using one of these kits. As you can see here

the car tyre is all fixed, so you can do that as well. One of the problems that sometimes you'll

have is when you use this, put this in the tyre, pull it back out and the sticky stuff is still

stuck into it. All you have to do is just put it in again, try it again. If you still have an issue

use the other tool here, which is like a screwdriver, to sort of screw it in. That

makes the hole a bit bigger and that'll identify easier with the sticky stuff

So yeah, if you have any other questions or comments about it, so if you tried one of

these before and got stuck, then let me know. And until next time, see ya
