Tire Sealant Removal: Removal

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

NOTE:

This procedure is only to be used with the temporary tire repair kit.
The tire inflator and temporary repair sealant are used on vehicles without a spare tire.
The temporary repair sealant used to repair the tire must be removed before the tire is permanently repaired.
The temporary repair sealant (once used or past the expiration date) is considered hazardous waste, and must be disposed of in an environmentally safe manner (such as used engine oil and coolant). Check with your local regulations for proper disposal.
The expiration date of the temporary repair sealant is printed on the container.

NOTICE:

Do not dispose a tire with the fluid sealant filled.

6. Use a commercially available squeeze bottle (A), a siphon gun, or a hand vacuum tool with a proper tube to remove the tire sealant.

7. Insert the tube into the tire through the drain hole, and aim it down until the end of the tube is immersed into the fluid sealant (B).

8. Remove the tire sealant.

NOTE: If using the bottle with the tube, set the bottle in a lower position than the tire and squeeze the bottle to siphon the tire sealant into the bottle.

9. Completely seal and dispose of the bottle containing the tire sealant in the proper manner for hazardous waste. Check with your local regulations.

10. If you are going to reuse the tire, completely remove the fluid sealant and replace the tire valve.

Wipe the fluid sealant completely so that the beaded edge of the tire and the mating portion of the wheel rim and the bead are clean.
Tire damaged such as punctures may be filled with the fluid sealant, and can be difficult to locate depending on the extent of the damage.
When you drive with a flat tire with fluid sealant, check the tire pressure often until the vehicle can be safely taken to a repair facility.
