Remove the embedded object with a pair of pliers.

STEP NOT SHOWN: Use the tire repair kit driller to "drill" the punctured area to clean up and widen the hole...

Then use the "sewing needle" tool, thread a piece of "worm thingy" thru and apply rubber glue solution around the portion of the worm in contact with the tire.

Picture shows the "sewing needle" ready to go in... have to exert alot of force here... DO NOT TWIST THE NEEDLE TOOL! Just keep pushing and pushing until the thing goes in, or you give up... whichever is sooner.

There you go... perseverance!! Now let it seat for 10-20 seconds to let the glue bond.

Remove; pull out the "sewing needle" tool in one swift motion.... and for christ's sakes... DO NOT TWIST THE DAMN THING!! Or your worm will come out together with the needle.

Trim off excess worm thing with a handy pair of garden scissors.... and there you have it!! Pump air, check no leaks from the nipple... (the pump air nipple la what you all thinking?) if still leaking then must go motorshop... the nipple no good already.

Tools used: Tire repair kit ($3.90 from mustafa) Garden scissors ($2 from the hardware shop further down from Lim ah boy), Pliers (Given by a friend).

And yes, for those who are observant... my tire punctured twice already.. and i helped someone else patch his tire that's why left 2 "worms" only....

i prefer to use the mushroom type these days as the worm type is only passable (and not as good).

i am using this brand: stop & go tire plugger.

Seems quite idiot-proof for the technically challenged and not waste too much time handling the worm.

I want one!! Price and location to buy it?
