Tire Repair
Use a tire plug to repair small holes in the tread part of the tire. For large holes or holes/cuts in the tire sidewall, the tire
must be replaced.
1.
Remove the wheel from the vehicle. See Wheel Removal on page 62.
2.
Locate the leak in the tire.
a.
If the tire is very low or flat, fully inflate the tire.
b.
Brush soapy water over the surface of the tire. Air bubbles will be visible where the air is leaking from the
tire.
c.
Mark the hole with chalk.
3.
Install the plug according to the manufacturer's instructions.
4.
Install the wheel on the vehicle. See Wheel Installation on page 62.
5.
Fully inflate the tire. See Tire Pressure on page 14.
NOTICE: Tire plug tools and plugs are available at automotive outlets. The tire does not have to be removed
from the wheel to install the tire plug.
