the screw is still in...when i started traking it out i heard hissing and stop ran away and started crying.
so around 20$ for repair?

mate goto supercheap and buy the kit yourself - around $15 and it has i think 4 or 5 patches from memory and has the tools you need to do the job.
THe only other thing is you need a good set of plyers but your job pulling out seems fine.

When i brought the kit i started to pull nails left right and centre.

It does up to 8mm holes i think. and you can buy the patch strips for like $10 later one. Then just keep fixing tyres.

Don't you have to patch it from the inside?

yehh i had that happen a week or so ago... found my tyre flat...and ofcourse i have no spare, cause i have 2subs and i took it out for weight reasons and the fact that i couldnt get to it if i tried lol...so my parents came, i took it off and they too it to i think jax tyres. *i think* and it costed $25 all up and the tyres perfect again...
