You can find this measurement on a label typically located on the inside door jamb of the driver or passenger seat. Using your favorite tire inflator, air up the tire to the manufacturer’s recommended air pressure. If any Slime has oozed out while installing the valve core, simply wipe away with a cloth. Remember that little valve core you removed in Step 2? Time to put it back in! Using the same black tool from the cap of the bottle, screw the valve core back into the valve stem by turning clockwise until tight. You will know you are successfully removing the valve core when air starts hissing out of your tire. Slowly twist the tool counter-clockwise to remove your valve core. Twist it off the bottle and use the knobby tool in the center to engage the valve core. The black cap on your bottle of Slime is a valve core removal tool.

This is the valve core and it needs to be removed in order to install Slime. When you look inside the top of the tire valve stem, you will see a metal cylinder in the very center. Slime can be inserted with the valve stem located in any position, but it works best if you position the valve stem so it sits in the upper half of the tire.

I tried posting these instructions in a comment to a person having the same problem, but phil and teds have removed the comment from their website (guess they’ll make less money if people realize they can fix their old wheels themselves.) Hopefully you can leave this up so that others can benefit from this and save the $150 it costs to purchase new plastic wheels.You’ve reached for the bottle to fix or prevent flat tires – smart choice! Whether this is an emergency repair (yellow label bottle), or you are preventing flats for up to 2 years (red, blue or black label bottle), the Slime installation process is the same. I read the phil and teds replacement wheels reviews, and I know that I am not the one with this same issue. I did this a little at a time until the wheels were almost perfectly straight (from what I can tell, they are perfect, but I’m sure they’re still just a little off as I’m not perfect lol.) I put the tubes and tires back on once they were cooled, and I haven’t had problems since. I ended up removing the tubes and the tires, and then using a hair dryer to heat the plastic until it was bendable with pliers. I decided I had nothing to lose, and tried to just fix them. Problem is, the replacements can only be purchased from phil and teds, and they are NOT cheap. Definitely not safe for jogging, and not great for just pushing around the mall either. I had two bent rear wheels, so the tubes were coming off a little and the stroller was wobbly and hard to push. They have plastic wheels that are relatively poor quality.

Use a pen to circle the puncture so you can find it later.ĭry off the inner tube and get out the tire repair kit. You’ll see bubbles coming up from the puncture. Put the inner tube in the water and start squeezing it under the water so you can see where the puncture is. Fill your kitchen sink with water enough to cover the top of the inner tube. And remove the inner tube from the tire and fill up with air. Start off by removing the tire from the stroller. I thought maybe you’d want to know too! So here is how to fix a flat jogging stroller tire. He was fixing my flat jogging stroller tire and I wanted to document it so I could remember how to do it myself. My oldest son can jump in and help out when dad isn’t home. Now he is passing these talents on to our kids. I always rely on him for fixing everything around the house. He was always taking apart things and putting them back together again. It all stems from a very creative mind while growing up. I swear he can fix anything and everything.
