ARB Tyre Plug kit

I watched this on Saturday at the ARB open day.

1. If you can’t find the hole in the tyre, inflate the tyre with your compressor
2. Once the hole is located use the drill piece looking tool to enlarge the hole and penetrate the metal reinforcement band (steel belt that sits under the tyre tread)
3. Remove tool
4. Then with the tool that looks like a needle with thread eyelet, pass a rubber plug (supplied with the kit) through the eyelet so it is located symmetrically (in the middle).
5. Dip the pointy end in the lubricant (supplied with the kit)
6. Then insert into hole in tyre and push in until the tool stops (dictated by the collar and round piece at the base of the handle)
7. Then hold down on the collar (big round washer) with one hand and pull the T section up with the other hand. This releases the tool and leaves the plug in situ, sealing the hole.
8. Inflate tyre and off you go
9. Remember, this is a temporary fix, until you can get the tyre repaired professionally

Re: ARB Tyre Plug kit

This link isn't the ARB kit but they all work on the same priciple.....

It shows a cheap plug kit that needs glue... Safety Seal (which I use) and ARB are self sealing and only need lube on them...

Plugging a tyre

Hey Matt

Looks like you have all your answers already, just Pm'd you.

I bought my kit about thirty years ago and I think it was the original seal a wheel or safety seal kit and it came in a cardboard box way before the technology of blow molded plastic boxes but it has fixed countless numbers of leaking tyres and although they are designed to be a temporary fix, I can honestly say that even though I have all of the gear for fixing a puncture correctly, I have never had to or ever removed and fixed a plugged tyre.

I have thrown tyres away after plugging but that was when I staked three tyres in one outing to Water Gauge at Barrington and one of the tyres needed ten plugs in a hole to get us out of the shit. It finally gave up at the Dingo gate and I had to get spares brought up from Singleton so we could get home.

My kit is always in the vehicle and is worth its weight in gold
