Screwed!

[Cock Womble 7]

Just got back from a World Cup-avoiding blat and noticed an unwelcome addition to my rubberwear:



Does that look small enough to pull out without hearing a horrible hissing noise?

[ZOLLAR]

Looks like its in deep.

[ApexJimi]

I suppose it depends entirely on the length of the screw. You might get away with it (or possibly a repair)

But far enough from the shoulder to be repaired if it does go hissssss.

That's what I was thinking. Judging by the size of the head, I doubt if it's three inches long, but there's no way of telling!

Indeed , Only one way to find out CW7!

If you can't get a screw driver in it, unscrew it with some pliers. Don't just rip it out.

Yep, I know. I've got some needle-nosed pliers somewhere to (carefully) unscrew it.

If it does go hiss, I can always put the spare on, although it's a different tyre (Toyo) - but there's a Hi Q place just round the corner that have been good to me in the past.

Right, I'll do this tomorrow.

Thank you.

Leave it in. Go to local tyre place. Get a plug fitted. Put on spare.

That's also what I thought when I saw you in that hot tub....

I read the title and thought this would be a coarse thread.

'Should' be pluggable IMO, but you never know until it's out.

Likewise, I had thought the wrong forum.
The Lounge and those internet dating sites was my initial response.
Anyway, looks repairable, internal inspection will show whether the case.

same happened to me today got back from work to find a nail in my tyre and it completely flat. So running around on a 16 year old space saver until I can hopefully get it repaired.
