Abstract

A method and apparatus for removing puncture sealing compositions from a tire, characterized by allowing air pressure to flow out of the tire via the valve, removing the tire valve, introducing a hose into the tire through the valve bore until the introduced hose end dips deeply into the sealing preparation contained in the tire and generating a pressure differential so that the sealing preparation is removed through the hose.
