In order for you to get the tire interior you need to start with deflating the tire by simply removing the " Kanyuto " for fast discharging of air content. Next using the desired size of ripping bar, slowly lift the inner edges of the tire until it loosen up and easy for you to pull out the interior. Third by simply using you fingers check the inner tire and feel the surface if there are presence of spikes and use the plier to removed it. Forth, inflate the interior then submerge it into the water while rolling to easily locate the holes and put a piece of stick to it. Fifth, dry and file the portion you need to work on, before applying gum adhesive for strong adhesion. Sixth, put the gum directly to the hole, then cover it with aluminum or bansil to avoid gum sticking into the hot piston. Seventh, using the improvise compressor let the hot surface of the piston cook the gum, Eight, remove the interior as soon a the gum is perfectly done to avoid burning it. Ninth inflate the interior to make sure that no more presence of bubbles as you submerge it into the water. Tenth, deflate the interior before returning it inside of the tire.
