Choose a screw that is similar in size to the object you removed. Remember this will be inserted in to the tire hole. (The object held by the pliers is the screw i removed)

Once all other steps are finished, replace tire on car and pump it full of air. It is not necessary to wait for the Gorilla Glue to dry. I performed this repair on my friends truck with great success.
