Assalam Alikum fellows!
My car tire got almost flat and I went to tire puncture shop. After doing checking in water he said that there are no punctures but walls are leaking. I was also inspecting, and found that he was right, as air bubbles were coming from walls only.
Tyre+RIMS have done 55k on odo.
Now he started repairing.
Separated tire, did some cleaning of walls of tire (where they touch the rim) using screw driver by hands without using any machine.
After that he turned on some buffing machine and started buffing the rim for some time.
Now after that he started hammering my rim, now this is what I want to know, is that right way to do it?
After hammering he applied some coat of black color, it was pretty sticky and a heavy coat was applied by him. Thats it, work done.
After that hammering I noticed that my wheel cap is getting loosen after drive of 30+km and I have to press it back again. And I feel that tire is again loosing air. Now what to do? How to get it back to proper working condition?
And yes I admit that tires life is over and need replacement. Will tire replacing solve my problem of rim?
