So I came out to the car yesterday morning and noticed the rear left tire had went flat overnight. I put some water and dish soap over the tire and discovered a small hole. I bought a tire repair kit, however, the issue I'm having is that because it's a rear tire and I can't turn it, I'm having trouble being able to get enough torque to be able to get the split eye needle with the repair insert into the tire. The initial rasp goes in no problem and fills the hole and stops the air coming out, however, I just can't get the needle in at all afterwards. Any advice on a better way to try inserting it?
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 1999 INFINITI QX4. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
Move the ‘vehicle’ so the tire injury is positioned in a location that allows you to use more force..
Probably at the 4 o’clock position.
Ultimately the tire / wheel should be removed for repair.
Even better is have tire shop dismount tire and install repair patch from inside.
