Okay ... I'm going to help you out. In the future use this url, http://www.ask.com/. Simply ask it a question; "How do I fix a wheelbarrow tire"?
It will bring up a bunch of answers to your questions such as:
Wheelbarrow tire fix
This spring the wheelbarrow is likely to come out of the shed or garage with a flat tire. And if you had any recent construction projects, a nail is the most likely culprit.
For about $7 and 10 minutes, you can fix flat tires with a one-shot bottle of tire sealant (Photo 1). At the hardware or auto parts store, determine how much sealant you'll need by checking your tire size on the installation chart on the bottle. After deflating the tire, remove the vane stem core. Rotate the tire so that the stem is in a 5 o'clock or 7 o'clock position and inject the sealant.
1 FIX A PUNCTURED TIRE (and avoid future ones) with tire sealant. Remove the plastic valve cap, deflate the tire, then, using the core removal wrench, unscrew and remove the valve stem core. Connect the clear plastic tube to the bottle of tire sealant, press the tube's connector tightly to the valve stem and squirt the required volume of sealant into the tire.
Once enough sealant has been injected into the tire, remove the filler tube. Then slowly rotate the tire for one minute to distribute it throughout the inside of the tube. Assemble the valve stem pieces, making sure the valve stem is protruding fully out the tire rim, and check that the tire is sealed evenly around the tire rim. Inflate the tire to the recommended pressure, then (and only then) remove the object that punctured the tire.
You're welcome.
