5 Quick Steps to Detect & Fix a Deflated Tire

 

Step1: Detect the Cut/Hole/Leak

Take a thorough look at the tires, from bottom to up, and detect if there’s any sharp pointy object stuck in the foundation of the tires.

During the detection phase, remember, it is not necessary that only sharp particles can hamper an ideal inflated tire but any minute holes or cuts can be responsible for the deflation too.

·       If the normal inspection doesn’t work, you can also pressure wash the tire with water & soap and look for bubbles on the leaking area

 

·       Moreover, you can also inflate the tire and watch for hissing sound from any appropriate area to detect the leak

Next, carefully remove the nuts and bolts from the defective tire and finally detach the tires off the wheelbase and place it aside.

[Precaution: Make sure to jack the car before the starting the process or else you won’t be able to make it any further smoothly]

 

Step 3: Clean the Tire Hole

Hole the leaky side of the tire upwards and clean the leak from inside-out by inserting a rasp tool.

Repeat this process a few times as in, put in, and then pull out the rasp through the hole until the leaky space is perfectly cleaned.

 

Step 4: Insert the Tire Plug

To insert the plug inside the tire hole like a pro follow the below-mentioned steps:

·       Lubricate the plug using rubber cement or glue ( adhesives ensure a better seal and an easy plug insertion)

 

·       Insert the plug with the help of an insertion tool

 

 

·       Hole the plug in place and the insertion tool as well in place for a minute to two, to let the adhesive dry

 

·       Finally, once the glue has dried, remove the extra plug parts

 

Step 5: Pump the tires

Now that you have secured the leak, now carefully re-attach the tires to the wheelbase. Make sure to tighten the bolts and lugs precisely to the torque.
