- I had a tire with a slow leak so I stopped at a nearby vulcanizing shop to get it fixed. I have had tires repaired in Canada and the process had some major differences. For everyone's education - nothing on the car was scratched, including the wheels and quarter panels.His price was 50 pesos but I paid him 100 because he let me shoot the video.
life can be harsh in other countries. shame most of us don't appreciate what we got. hope this opens our eyes
They are poor because we are permanently taking what naturally belongs to them. Vietnam, South America, Africa, you name it.
yes & USA has massive homeless problem now too..what natural resources have been taken from them?..Their own Zionist Jew Government have screwed that Country.

Asad lion no lie I was thinking about that before i found your comment
nothing funny about a man earning himself an honest living with hard work and dedication.
+Don KiksBiscuits yes! hard "word" can be backbreaking.
he's an idiot. a 50 cent tire plug would work just as well and take minutes. instead he destroys the rim and weakens the tire.
+Xezs yes because this guy can afford a garage right
+Don KiksBiscuits Probably get further with hard work, hard word's don't really help a lot.
+Xezs you are young arent you
I've been traveling in Philippines for 3 months and I absolutely love and admire how they do exactly the same work as we do in the west, but with less tools, and in a completely different way. Let me describe filipino people in one sentence: They don't care much about all the stuff that is needed, they use what they have and are happy with that! Go travel Philippines guys, beautiful country with even more beautiful people!!
Many people can’t do this with the proper tools! This is is total old school and deserves respect.
No shit, thank God for minor conveniences.
@Daniel hosking yeah I gotta agree. Just cos you think something 'sounds' offensive. Doesn't mean it can't be true. Thinking back to old school UK, cant remember the bottle cap patching, wooden axle stands, or steel toe capped sandals lol
You tell em bubba
@I Am Sekou yeah Daniel shut your ass up prbably cant even pump your own gas..
Hot BoB this is modern version of cave man
I don't understand why people are hating on these guys, they work with what they got and make it work I have huge respect for that man
show me an american who can change and repair a tire like this. too lazy, they'd need a machine to do it. these guys use what they have and get back on the road. how do they balance ;)
THOMΔX no balance
Most traffic in the Philippines doesn't reach high speeds requiring fine balancing.
THOMΔX I am a tire man and I give him mad props make due with what u got.
That's hard work. Those negative critics should try that job for at least one day.
People don't understand this Video and shows negative comments, reason for this is that We don't often have the money to buy expensive tools, we MAKE tools with our Own, some Even Use Manual mode. People like that in here are very Respectful they won't charge you big Moneys, and will do the job for like 15-20 mins, and can help you Get back to road And check your wheels in a Certified Shop. You can judge them but the reality is in mind so stop hating !
Mr Hirano it gets the job done and that's what matters. people who are in la la land from reality wouldn't know. Americans and bits and Germans waste. way it is. they'll never understand. it may be allot of work but they forget it gets a job for a family to make money and service that's demanded by consumers.
LosRioDelMar dont forget that lives matters and lays on the hand of that vulcanizer. It is not about Germans not understanding it but thats why Germans are very well known about the mechanical and as well in other aspects because they just do it right and not sugar coating anything.
On the internet some people just hate everybody. You can't post a kitten picture without getting death threats anymore. Some of us realize he didn't have $5 million for a state of the art shop. Try not to take it seriously.
i totally agree with you, and there are people that are close minded in the internet so don't mind them.
Mr Hirano they are a lot of places in the Philippines to fix ur tire if it would be expensive or cheap like the video showned us
I'd love to have 10 employees that would work like this guy, in those conditions, with those tools. That guy is a badass. Great vid.
hire me..
And for
$1.50 hr 🤣🤣🤣
Damn scissors too💪😁
Call this number +254724092762 if you still need someone who can work
Americans would have to get rid of OSHA, EPA and workers comp. No wonder we are so expensive.
Worked and lived in developing countries... much respect and appreciation for these workers!
What they do may look weird to poshies but show a level capability and ability often forgotten in our part of the world...
you act like he was performing some kind of traditional cultural act. he jimmy rigged a tire get over yourself.
why did you remove the insults you were calling me bud?
@Moto 90
Suck up
All that matters is that these men are getting things done, with or without the right tools. Respect.
Disciple0fMetal Now, if only he could fashion a wig or hair implants from tools in his environment... That'd be pretty awesome.
Disciple0fMetal
abosultely correct...
He used the right tools.
Yes I agree to you
He used the right tools... that’s just because in the west Harbor freight and others company convinced our lazy ass that their tools are the best and required lesser effort
It may look unconventional to many but these guys certainly know how to work and really earn their money.
Well done, you make a great job of making it look easy, when you know what you are doing that is.
Derek Stocker you know minus thay forgot a lugnut at the end
Mad respect goes out to this guy. Earning an honest dollar!
On every continent in every country there’s a mechanic earning an honest days pay. Respect ✊
you can tell by a lot of these posts , they have not lived out side of north America. the guy did a good job. I have not seen a hot patch in 40 years. low tech but it works
Durable!
I'm from North America.... The only weird thing I saw this video is the hot patch.... But litterly everything else is done almost the exact same in North America.... Removing tire, checking for leak, unseating all done the same way. Patch is usually done different. Reseating the tire and putting it back on usually done similarly I don't get what people are complaining about
+crunch9876 They are more careful with the rim at the local tireshop where I live, they do tend to over tighten and over inflate the tires though. I guess tire shops aren't perfect here either hehe.
+crunch9876 Forgot the rebalance when done. But I guess balancing isn't needed there, doubt anyone drives 80mph there like here.
+BigDish101 simply not possible on most of the roads lol
I just spent $350 on a used tire changer machine with integrated bead breaker. I feel humbled when I watch this man service a tire with a couple pieces of wood, a pipe, a couple metal bars and a pair of rockin' slippers
If u repaire ur tire on philippines u spent 1$ only only 50 pesos to volcanizing
I am an American, Retired, 79 Years Old, Married to a Filipina, and have been living here in Iloilo City in the Philippines for the last 4 years or so. I have had some leakers & some flats on my vehicle over the time I have lived here. This vid shows the time honored method of getting it done here. There are a few more modernized shops around in the more populated areas but this is standard for rural areas.The methods may seem somewhat crude to what Americans are used to ,but in actuality, that was about how it was done in the past in the US too. I am always amazed at what is accomplished here with what they have to work with, even though it does take a bit more time to do.
Wow your 79 yrs old and married to ilongga can you still or able to get em up? Lol
Why the hell would you do something like that?
@@jonilonggo6080 It's YOU'RE 79; not your, moron; and why ask him about his sex life?
Race traitor
If you wish to increase your risk, and that of your family, of dying in a car crash, go right ahead. It's a free country..
I absolutely to see this! A man working with basic tools and just getting the damn job done. This is the sort of human ingenuity that allowed us to create the modern world.
At least he is working hard and trying. A better job than 99% of us could do.
But this is YT, and everyone knows everything, no experience but when does that stop them?
Mock it all you want, but he's the guy you want on your deserted island when your plane goes down.
+riphaven You got that right, and I bet he would be very pleasant company also.
Loved everything about this video.... home made tools, honed skills, very impressive!
After years of doing this, I bet he doesn't even need a torque wrench. His elbow is probably perfectly calibrated.
just to the point where it's not quite hurting yet
Why would he need a torque wrench
brian sullivan 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💀
@brian sullivan lol hahahaha it had me luffin
@@teho-ostatso228 because all nuts and bolts on vehicles are supposed to be torqued to a specified torque. over tightening can cause damage and dangerous situation.
OK sir that only took me two hours it's only going to be $.50 cents
+Ryan Disney I wouldnt be surprised honestly lol
+onlycec 👍😂
+Ryan Disney jajajajajaj Buajajjajjajjaj
jajjajjajjajjajajj
LOL
+Edgar H 😁
+Ryan Disney It cost him 50 pesos so.
A honest hard worker who takes pride in his work, whats not to like?
So if a bmw or benz drive over a nail and get's a flat, they're junk too? Cool.
TheJanka51 that car is probably what you can't even afford anyways
The shitty ass repair maybe...
Just to bad he dont get payed.
Pride??? He is surviving, where did you see the pride? If you are all so respectfull raise some funds and send a set of tyre machinery second hand. Bless this poor guy this is all but pride.
nothing on the car was scratched, including the wheels and quarter panels.
Of course! In the 1960s and '70s, I worked with these mechanics from other lands in car dealerships in the USA.. We did not have technicians at the time. They got it done correctly but crudely but they got it done! Laugh if you must but there is no Coats machine and no tire guy that scratches your wheels or car. Oh, how I miss these guys.
I think i heard the same motorcycle driving by the entire time
Some people say he's still driving
Lmao. I love comment section.
Lmao doing laps
ever been there there are thousands of bykes running around identical
No that tricycle from Philippines
That's one hard working guy. I admire his initiative and resourcefulness.
Perhaps it's a little old fashioned but I respect the Hard work &effort employed here..
He earned money and respect. That's hard work
Nah.......that's easy money!
This is a example of hard work !!! Something most of us know nothing about !!!! He only charged 50cent
I've plugged more than 100 nail holes in my personal trucks and other peoples rides with a $5 do it yourself kit as well. Not once has one came out on me for the life of the tread. Good demonstration if the holes are bigger than a pencil.
I really liked the simplicity of it, no modern tech. Just hard grunt work. Respect! You use what you have... Just awesome..
That guy deserves every penny he earns! good on him.
@@sahin199999 damn it. You stole my comment lol
Im sure he is making more than pennies jackass lol
@@Lookout4the3rdrail he made 2 american dollars.
This is just the way tire repair used to be done. My gandfather did this for a living. I've done it before so i don't really find it amazing. But I will say this, when me and my brother manually mounted tires like this we were covered with sweat because it's hard work. This guy is barely breaking a sweat. His conditioning is amazing.
..i live in SE Asia, for some time now..while initially, my reaction would probably be same as most of folks from western countries, i learn to respect way people here living and getting things done..with so little they have, they do work best they can, while their counterpart from EU wouldn't even consider to do such job with so little...my respect for this kind and simple people, doing their best for a living..
He does a good job.
His tools may have a rustic look, but they are actually just as specialized as the stuff you see in any tire shop in the US, Canada or Europe. OK, he has no hydraulic or pneumatic press and tire puller. So what? As you can see he does well without them and it doesn't look like he causes much damage to the rim.
Also, hot vulcanization is probably more durable than some glue-on patch.
And finally, if he puts the tire back on the rim in the original position the balancing won't be much affected.
Good job.
Tire plugs would blow this guys mind. But nice job, much respect for hard workers
I was raised on a cotton farm in West Texas, in the 1960's. I went to work in the fields, at age 6, hard labor. We used to change all our flats, including the large tractor tires - jack it up, get out your tire tools, beat the tire off the rim, with a 5 pound hammer. I was a big kid, very strong, 6' at age 14 - taking off a back tractor tire, swinging a 5 pound hammer as hard as I could, hitting the tire iron, to remove the large tire from the rim. Missed the tool, swinging with both hands on the hammer handle, hit my knee on the side. I went down, as you might expect, did about 10 Curly's on the ground (Curly of the 3 stooges, doing his round and round thing on the ground). Eventually, I got up off the ground, cussed a blue streak, got the flat off the rim!! :) Times change, cost me $90 now to get someone out to fix it for me.
@rollingklouds I grew little after that, 6'2" final. Back in the 60's most pro football players were about 6'2". John Nilan, all pro Cowboy, spoke at our sports formal, he was 5'10" 260, no neck. Today, farmers feed cattle, chicken, milk cows growth hormones to make more money, people eat/drink the product, and get huge. Today, everyone knows about the evil tall white man (that is me), oppressing all the racial "minorities", and women, and also short white men with terminal cases of "the small man syndrome". Which one of these downtrodden are you?
@rollingklouds I get kids correct me all the time on my posts, kids that do not have a clue about the life around them - that is what I thought you were. But yeah, even for the 60's, it was a bit harsh, like I was raised 100 years ago, no work, no eat, no shelter, mentality. My father was a workaholic, still muscular at 85, arms like a weight lifter. At 6, I was moving irrigation pipe and hoeing all day, 16 hour days at 6 onward - during the summer. The work ethic was harsh - but - I was an all state linebacker and running back in Texas, CPA, MBA, Black in Tae Kwon Do, written 3 books, 10,000 hours of genealogy - the "education" during childhood took. My grown children are like Daddy, 5 hours sleep and ready to "get it" the next day - Doctor, Attorney, Engineer. That world, raised by a workaholic afraid of being poor again, is stark compared to today, where everyone is a victim, except the "evil white man" - which I can see now, that you are one of them (you have manners, empathy, sincerity). :) Blessings to you and the family. kent :)
I'd pay someone $90 to fix a tire if it included them hitting their knee cap with a 5 pound sledge. Some forms of entertainment are priceless. 😁😁
No matter what you do someone is going to poke their hand out and say your doing it wrong particularly on YT. Tire vulcanization is one of my arguments for de-evolution. Hardly anyone knows how to do it anymore. Lost art in the States but not completely. I'm betting that repair will outlast the tires and cause no issues whatsoever. Tell me I am wrong all you want. I don't care what you folks think either way. Brutal honesty. Glad you shared this video!
So much respect to this hard working man. His sandals don't match. That shows how poor they are. And you can see all the young ones sitting around doing nothing. Another sign of poverty and lack of jobs.
Typical mummy and daddy’s kid will make fun of a man earning himself for a honest and dedicated life.
Gracias man .
👍🏾👊🏾✌🏾🇳🇬🇺🇸
All opinions are irrelevant. This is badass. First that was a car tire he took off with two metal shims. Smaller the tire, harder to remove. Tires less than 17.5 are pain in the butt. He did it all alone. No gloves, shirt, safety glasses, or shoes. That guy is a man. Inspirational to this American tire tech. Thank you for sharing!
The guy uses a hodge podge of crude tools to get the job done. Magnificent!
CZcams kept recommending this to me over and over.
+Tomoko Kuroki Same...
+Tomoko Kuroki you can stop youtube from recommending videos now, click the 3 dots below the video, "not interested" or something like that, and explain why
hahaha CZcams recommended it to me as well
+Tomoko Kuroki they knew you would love it so good
+Joseph Holder lol Well... to be fair, we clicked on it... and watched it! :-)
I've had to do that myself in high school several times. No money to do otherwise. Hard work.
Did with motorcycle, once. Tire irons, soap & sweat. No fun.
Great camera work and editing. 10/10
That was the deluxe tire repair service. The standard service is just plugging the hole with a piece of bamboo and some tree sap which will cost you one bowl of rice and some fish heads.
We all know that easier ways of doing this exist, but watching people fix things without the tools and supplies we are accustomed to is always interesting
+Sam I never thought it's possible to get a tire off a rim manually - until I saw this guy doing it probably everyday.
I like the torque wrench. Good job Sir.
That was Savage. Did all that by hand........ Respect
I liked his torque wrench.
Just shows that you don't need a rattle gun to make it impossible for the owner to change a wheel on a roadside :)
+Al Lee what are you talking about ^? OP said torque wrench, not a electric tool.
+TheMidnightNarwhal I think he was being sarcastic. :-) I don't see any torque wrench in the video. I was just saying that local tyre shops using air tools almost always overtighten, and this guy can overtighten just as well with a pipe.
Al Lee haha I was being sarcastic, but it was cool watching a fellow tire guy.
Al Lee Given how powerful most impact wrenches are, it's actually much easier to overtorque with one - and far more common. The most frequent problem with hand wrenches is UNDERtorque, hence the cheater pipe.
Also, if you do it often enough, you do get a feel for the proper torque. I put my lug nuts on with a hand ratchet, snug them down, & then set my torque wrench to 80 ft-lb & get a fraction of a turn before it clicks with a proper, smooth pull on the grip. The slight movement is the key - if it DOESN'T move before clicking, all you know is that it's AT LEAST whatever the wrench is set at. Might be 80; might be 200. No way to tell.
Finally, how do you know the wrench is still accurate? If you're like most people - including many shops! - that good, reliable torque wrench you've been relying on for years hasn't even been tested since it left the factory. Calibration relies on a spring, and springs fatigue. Then your calibration drifts & who knows what torque you're ACTUALLY applying? You sure don't!
Unless you're using a beam-type. Those are pretty much the gold standard - but they're a pain in the ass to use, so pretty much nobody does.
Very nice. Nicely filmed too. Very still hands
I use a tripod for almost all the shots. If I have to hold the camera in my hands I will lean on something to keep it steady.
Peter White
the only thing missing was a shot of the finished patch :-(
but the rest was good old school geter done repair
I will never complain again as a mechanic because of this video ... Toughest part of mechanic ever seen
I was a car tyre fitter for 10 year then moved into a roadside truck and plant tyre fitter for 10 year and respect this guy for he's minimum tools, impressed with the bead breaker, good idea!
I like how he used the correct torque spec
Lol with that HUGE long makeshift breaker bar
Aiyic 90 newton meters on the spot
well actually this is a good lesson to find something that will give you
more leverage when you have nothing else. when your poor
you make use of what you have or when its not available.
Guitars Gods & Guns
It's not that hard to figure out that you can use a 20 foot steel pipe to use, to slide it over a wrench and call it a breaker bar. Good luck getting that off with a normal wrench after over-torquing it like that
most mechanics dont use a torque
Step 1: Remove shirt.
Step 2: Finish cigarette.
Step 3: Repair the tire.
Step 4: Have a good day.
Step 5: Profit.

That's the SNAPON tree trunk, jack stand!
$800, but the truck guy will cut you a deal and give it to you for $600 with a free Snap-On t-shirt...
I hated that most of the time at my job we did not have the proper equipment at times. But after seeing this video I am definitely grateful for what I have. Props to this man
We have it to easy in the west, , these lads have a great skill
Its a hot patch....a bit outdated in the main stream, but nothing so odd about it. Still done on a limited basis here in the US. too!....the only difference is we usually aren't barefoot.
I used to work in the trade in the UK in the 1960's. It was quite a bit more user friendly, but we were taught to use tyre levers too. Loved the video.

Wheel lug nut torque: 2-3 kaKLANKs
I'm still laughing at your comment.
its decent work, hed rather do this than do something illegal. so mad respect to the dude doing the repair.
lesson #1 of having a car in a 3rd world country: steel wheels will go further than aluminum
and you wont have to worry about bending steel wheels due to potholes
Justin Bozeman because they are more expensive
briggs9187 Third world is the best!!!!
Justin Bozeman Dirt bikes here in the Philippines costs around 2,000 USD or more, and what you could buy with that 2,000 USD is either a modified 125cc or a 150cc dirt bike. That's why if you go here, you will see small bikes equipped on tricycles because they only cost around 1,000-1,500 USD. That means a year's savings to many Filipinos.
As an expat living in the Philippines I can tell you these little tire repair shops are EVERYWHERE. They will have a fabricated sign in front which says "Vulcanizing". This whole tire repair on the red Innova probably cost 100 pesos, just a couple of US dollars. (For me as a foreigner it would probably cost double that, but I'm used to it and I have no problem with it lol). If you want a "real" tire repair like you would get at Discount Tire or Firestone in the States you can certainly go to those places as we also have them in the Philippines, and pay the same prices you would in the States. Or you can go to the "casa" which is the car dealership and pay even more, and they'll just take it to a Vulcanizing repair shop like this anyway. Filipinos will always find a way to get things done with what they have!
Man his life would be so much easier if he just had plugs.
Dam! 2 pieces of metal and some experience go along way! Todays teens couldn't get this done no matter how many you tube vids they watch.
Hey, that must be a union shop. One guy working and 6 guys watching his progress...
This looks like me a few hours ago lol. Tire stores will beat you over the head if you don't buy the tires from them. Saved 80 dollars and learned something new.
Quality. I'm a tyre fitter myself. I know appreciate my tyre machine more than ever. I wouldn't want to work like that all day everyday. Give them man some credit!
I love Philippines Tire repair :) I always come back to this video bro :)
God bless those hard working Filipinos, I admire their craftsmanship
amen to that!!
+Silicon Valley Engineer Ingenuity maybe, certainly not craftsmanship. That tire will probably explode if it goes over 70mph.
Perhaps, then again it may never fail. However the tire repair man did a perfect repair. Here in the states were mostly forced to buy another tire so local, state and federal governments get tax money from tire purchases and not because its not safe because our government allows corporations to endanger Americans
+Silicon Valley Engineer holy shit this american is so cringe
Just because you see some 3rd world country doing a manual job with barely no tools and being poor, it doesn't magically make them CRATFSMANSHIP, MASTER, OH YEAHHH BETTER THAN STATES
they have no choice but doing this kind of "backyard" job. So waht? big deal... not hard to learn doing that. Why praise such a situation and shame America whenever you get a chance? that's just totally irrelevant. Are you suggesting we abandon all technologies and tools then go back to 3rd world style to not fixing your tire properly? what a hippie
+yuchen 123 God bless those hard working Filipinos for finding a way to make a living and put food our their families table. I admire their ability to figure out what simple tools and materials were required to repair those tires. God bless the Philippines. Filipinos serve with honor and bravery in our grateful American Navy.
What? He doesn't inflate the tire with his mouth?
+You Tabbed You clearly didn't get my sarcasm, but i meant the exact opposite of what you think i meant. It's really impressive he does everything by hand, so i kind of expected him to inflate the tire with his mouth...
whatever k tnx bye

I want to see this guy do a brake job next!
good chances the brake pads will be rocks instead lol
Or an engine rebuild. For that he sets it on fire and leaves it on fire :S
If you guys have nothing intellectual else to say, better shut-up. You guys dont know how hard it is to earn money, and i bet you dont even understand how the repair works! Idiots!
You guys dont know the situation, the guy may have just popped a hole in his tyre and needed a quick fix to reach the next tyre shop.
Well, if you look at the previous comments that the author of this video had made. He didn't reach the tyre shop. He has been driving on that tyre ever since the repair was carried out
Just a man making an honest living. Great work, I could not have done it better. Hopefully he saves enough to buy more proper tools, equipment and inventory. If you have the knowledge and resources, you can make any business profitable.
Got the job done with homemade tools. Much respect to you sir. It didn't appear, or at least it didn't show any balancing being done, though I'm sure uneven tire wear is the least of their worries.
It costs $1 for all the hard work he did.
200php =$5,51 CDN or $4,08 Don't know where you got $1
freakyflow it cost 1$ trust me I live in the phkippinds

Maybe i'm thinking the Tire centre But then again they do a proper serivce I live in Canada But i been to Metro Manila and a few other Area's Still cheap compared to $30 a fix here

The Cubans area masters at this type of repair. They still have cars from the 40s running and looking as good or better than new. They invent and make their own repair solutions. No O'Reilly's in Havana.
George Rivera , seen a documentary on the cubans and how they do body work. One guy fabricated a quarter panel out of a tin sheet he took off his house house. Pure ingenuity...
Leon Gomez can you link that?
Much respect to guy. Imagine if he has all the tools machine equipment. He would probably build his own car from scrap. 👍👍👍
great training video for OHSA to use for new hire orientations in the tire repair service sector...
Nicely edited video. I think this shows how the job gets done whether you have a pristine high class shop or a curb and a few hand tools. In Mexico we have some very similar tire fixing places called "Vulcanizadoras" in rural places, roads and poor parts of the cities.
These are the people who will survive apocalypse.
That dude is straight up Natural Strong...awesome to watch hard work and diligence in action.
Thank you. I now have a new term for a piece pipe used to lengthen a wrench, its now . "A Philippino torque wrench".
Wow, this guy is a badass. Mounting and dismounting tires with HAND TOOLS -- that is hard work.
+Audio Crossing its much harder to do on a bike tire, car tires are easy.
+TheRealDeal you crazy. i tried to do on car tires once and it was a pain. then even pumping air into it somehow it leaks. i had to wet the inside to keep the air frome escaping
still faster then the dude at my Wal-Mart.
Jeff Rodriguez true story
Jeff Rodriguez the fuck-up part is your right
And the guy at Walmart has proper tools.
Walmart...tires...man ur so right
Don't Walmart just PLUG the tire?
respect helping people and earning a living good job
Respect this guys skill. We have tire machines at our shop and the techs break it once every 2 weeks. This guy has nothing but hand tools.
It's just how it was done everywhere before hydraulic machines came along. And I bet the repair is
just as good if not better than a garage.
+g2macs no, it's way worse then a proper tire shop. His way of removing the tire will scuff the rim, when he's putting the tire back, he'll even scratch the inner part of the rim edge, which is critical for a good seal. Steel rims would be fine, but aluminium alloy wheels will get visibly scratched.
This would be unacceptable in a tire shop.
Same goes for the (utter lack of) balancing, even a couple of grams will cause audible vibrations once you hit highway speeds.
+AKAtheA All good points.... I would not dream of taking a tyre off an aluminium rim with steel levers and no rim protectors. That would be just asking for those annoying, slow rim leaks....
I am disappointed.
I was expecting him to blow up the tire with his mouth. What kind of service is that?
Kudos for them. All the tools are home made.
This mans level of fixing tire is over the top. I get frustrated with my tire machine when the tire gets stuck. Someone please give that man a tire plug kit.
I live in Scotland and worked as a tyre fitter with all the machinery when I was younger, I now always do my own tyres. 2 levers, a hammer, a shovel and some good old fashioned hard work and the jobs done.
That method is dated but just as good and permanent as a pin repair kit and no, you won't do shit to a Yokohama Aspec with that little heat. what I dislike the most in this video is the comment section filled with ignorant fucks, self-appointed mechanics and all that Philipino gang-up.
If you think this stuff won't last you're pretty deluded. we did this shit all the time when I was in Japan (you'd be surprised all the things you need and won't find in a race track) on tires with way less meat on em'.
well... cut some slack on comment section... is their work to criticize the videos and comment the right way to do things, instead of uploading a video doing said thing themselves.
all sarcasm aside.
well yes the guy in the video is doing mostly everything right.
and for the tools he has, he is working magic if you ask me.
but he looks kinda rough on the wheels and the tire besides that. one heck of a job well done.
Could I have that balanced please.... I prefer dynamic versus static.
Good honest hard work. Respect.
I want to buy this man a tire machine , he's got skills and is hard working he deserves it
just shows you that you can take what you got and get the job done.
I love the use of broken scissors as an awl.
What about motorcycle tire irons to mount car tires?
There's a lot to love in this vid lol
+Bobby Patton no there isnt
A couple of rim scratches. 😖
Respect for their craftsmanship.
