    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?
