This video shows my first attempt with the tire plug kit. I have not cut out my struggles with this, so anyone without experience can see how difficult this can be. I could have cut right to the part where I figured out how to make it easy, but I feel this video is more informative for beginners as they can see the different ways that did not work.
One of the main challenges with this repair is that the nail punctured directly through a steel belt. After creating this video, the same vehicle that this tire came off of got another flat tire. They were all worn and I was waiting until I could afford a full set. The other tire was quite a bit easier to repair, as the object that punctured it did not go through a steel belt. That one only took about 15 minutes to repair, once I got the tire off. That one would have probably been easy enough to repair by hand, but I used the tie-down strap method anyway because it takes most of the work out of it.
I'm sure many people have done this repair before and have had different experiences. Obviously, the more times you use these kits, the better you will get. But, I feel this is informative for people with no experience, and I believe the tie-down strap is extremely help. This method makes this repair possible for people with little strength.
