Learn how to Fix a Flat Tire yourself , yes you read it right. “YOURSELF”
We’ll tell the entire process of fixing a flat tire from how to inflate the flat tire, how to find the leak in the tire, to how to plug the tire so you can fill it up with air and drive on it safely.

Well, it’s not a fun situation, so you need to get out of it asap.
So firstly, let’s pop the trunk and check out our three options we have for situations like this.

First, we could use an air pump.

Second, if you have a spare tire, you could use that.

And then third, you could use cans of air if you need. Apart from this you could use one of the plug kits to plug the tire, just in case you’re far away from home or from a tire shop.

Back at your flat tire, the first thing you should do is try to pump up the tire with a portable air compressor because it’s the quickest and easiest method.

Now if you don’t have an air compressor or it didn’t work, the next method would be USING THE SPARE TIRE , just make sure you have all the tools you need. If you have a spare tire in your car, you’ll probably also have with a scissor Jack and a tire iron. You wanna make sure you have both of these as well as a key for if you have any locking lug nuts since you rarely use or even check the spare until you finally need it.

And finally for emergencies a can of sealer is recommended.
So those are three main methods that you can rely on.

Now here are steps to be followed to plug in a spare tire.

  1. Remove the tire from the car. Do this with a scissor jack and tire iron that come with the car tools.
  2. After this break the nuts loose, because if you try to do this with the tire in the air, it’s just gonna spin with all the lights broken loose.
  3. Now jack up the car, but before that we want to block off the rear wheel.
  4. Then place the jack on the proper jacking point and look the wheel all the way off the ground.
  5. Now we can finish removing the nuts and remove the wheel.
    ( And the thing we’re gonna search for the leak. So here’s little trick and that’s using soapy water. All you need is dish soap and water mixed together. And what you do is you just spray down the wheel. Keep an eye on areas that are bubbling up cause any air leaking out is going to cause bubbles. Just look at bubbles right up and that just makes it completely obvious to where your leak is.)
    So here’s you how to remove the screw and then plug it so it’s leak free.
    Now that we found the leak, we’re gonna move on to our next step and plug the leak.

To do that, you’ll need plug kits.


• So get your plug and flatten the plug end and slide it through the slot.
•It’s also a good idea to use some protection so nothing shoots out into our face.
•Now carefully remove the screw.
Hereafter grab your reamer and then force the reamer into the hole.
•Now you wanna remove the rear and quickly insert the plug.
•After you push the plug through the tire 1/4 of the plug should be sticking out. And then you give this tool a firm pull out, the tool is gonna come out.
•But the plug material is gonna remain in the hole to stop the leak. And once this completely dries, we’re gonna cut it.
•Give it about 10 minutes to dry and seal up perfectly.
•When it’s nice and dry grab your side cutters and cut off the ends of the plug.

And yeah you’re done and that’s How to repair puncture tire without mechanic?
