After you have that hole ready, put the plug on the inserting tool, then blob some of that rubber cement that comes with the kit on the hole and on the plug for lubrication, and then jam it in the hole and yank the tool out. Be prepared to be pretty much sitting on the wheel and holding it steady with your legs, and really leaning on the plug inserting tool to get it in nicely. And also, the tire should be flat when you're putting in the plug, which, if you worked that hole enough, it will be.
After the plug is in, use some side cutters or an exacto knife and cut off the excess plug rubber so that it's flush with the tire tread, then fill up the tire and put it back on your car and enjoy the fact that you saved $40 and who knows how much time. All it costs is a $10 kit that'll be good for at least 5 repairs, and a beer or two.
Is it wrong I got kind of turned on by that?
in this one you're missing the "[ / quote ]" at the end. (remove spaces)
