If its the tube type, you need to pull the tube out. Break the seal on one side of the tire. grabthe tube and carefully pull it out. Put a small amount of air in it and stoick it in a bucket of water. That should show you where the leak is. Patch the hole and carefully re-install the tube in the tire. Air it to specs and you're good to go.

Never Flat Wheelbarrow Tire
2016-11-07 00:50:52 · answer #2 · answered by alanna 4 · 0⤊ 0⤋
Most wheel barrow tires are tubeless which makes it fairly difficult to blow up. If you have a pump and a flat strap, or a ratchet strap works well too, you can wrap the strap around the tire and pull it tight. This will hopefully create the seal that keeps the tire inflated. You can also get this done a a garage because its the same thing as a car tire just much smaller. I've had a few flats working with wheel barrows and ive used garages and a strap and both have worked very well.

DO NOT use fix-a-flat,....my wheelbarrow tire went flat back in the summer with a big load of dirt in it...dumped the dirt and got a can of fix a flat to inflate the tire...well one section of the tire was not in proper location and when the tire started to inflate something freakish happened causing the fix a flat to come flying out and got on my face and in my eyes...this stuff will temporarily blind you until you get it flushed out and will make it very very difficult to breath...took me almost 30 mins to get back to normal...had to flush eyes with water for 25 minutes..and as for the breathing it will make you feel like you cant draw a breath in scare the sh*t out of ya...never again will i use that stuff on something other than an automobile tire
your best bet is to remove the wheel and take the tire to a service station or tire place...that way they have air compressors big enough to pump the tire up and if there is a leak they can fix it...better safe than sorry

If you are not handy, take the wheel off and take it to a place that fixes flats. They will let you know if you need a new tire or tube or both. You could pump it up yourself if you have a pump and if it is a very small leak, fix-a-flat will sometimes work. It doesn't work as well if it has a tube in it.

Try fix-a-flat first. It could be the tire is so old, the rubber is starting to
develope hair line cracks, then you can try the replace the tube idea.
Actually, when I get to that point, I just buy a whole new assembly.

Pump it up using car foot pump or bicycle pump (with adapter) or use an air line.
