1. If the puncture point can't be located inflate the tire.
2. Spray the tire with soapy water and look for air bubbles. Putting the tire in a tub of soapy water works better. 
3. Mark the puncture point with a piece of chalk so you don't lose it. Then drain the air from the tire
4. Remove the object from the tire. 
5. Now using the tools provided in the tire plug kit ream out the hole. 
6. Insert the plug through the hole on the ream and then soak it in the cement. 
7. Ream the plug down into the hole so that just an inch is left sticking out of the tire. 
8. Twist the tool and pull it out(the plug should remain in place)
9. Allow the cement to dry then inflate the tire. 
10. Spray the plug with soapy water and make sure it is not still leaking.

11. Cut the excess plug with a pair of scissors or snips. 
12. Put the tire and wheel back on the vehicle and torque the lug nuts at factory specs
