Currently, tubeless tires are installed in most modern passenger cars. Such tires have a number of advantages over tube tires: ease of mounting on the rim, relative cheapness (no tube), less total wheel weight, easy repair in case of a puncture. Often you can glue the tire yourself without disassembling it.
Necessary
Portable compressor for inflating wheels, pliers, knife, tubeless tire repair kit, jack, balloon wrench, special anti-recoil devices for fixing the car when lifting it with a jack
Instructions
Step 1
Set the car on the parking brake, fix its position with the anti-roll device, raise it with a jack and remove the wheel.
Step 2
Examine the wheel carefully to find the puncture site. Most often, the puncture gives itself out as a foreign object sticking out of the protector (a head of a nail or self-tapping screw, a glass shard), which must be removed with pliers.
Step 3
Apply a few drops of glue to the screw-tipped awl. After that, immerse the awl into the hole of the puncture, make 7-10 reciprocating movements with the tool and leave it in the hole.
Step 4
Insert a strip of raw rubber into an awl with a needle hole so that there are equal parts of the strip on both sides and apply a thin layer of glue to it.
Step 5
Remove the awl with a screw tip from the puncture and quickly insert a tool with a strip of raw rubber in its place so that tails 1-1.5 cm long remain outside the tire.
Step 6
Pull the awl back out and out of the hole. The double-folded strip of rubber will remain in the hole.
Step 7
Cut off the protruding ends of the rubber with a knife, inflate the wheel to working pressure and install it on the car.
