    Plug and ride! If using a "string type plug" ensure your give the Insertion Tool 1/4 turn before pulling it out of the tire

    Not needed. No need to turn insertion tool when withdrawing.

    Heavy Needle Nose Pliers with serrated tip ends! Slightly open the plier ends and push the rubber down on both sides of the nail, squeeze tightly, pull and you'll extract the nail

    Sweet, I'll give it a shot. There is no head on the nail, so it will be a tough grab. I am headed out to get the magical tool set for air filter replacement. I'll get a plug as well.
