- Describe the proper procedure to seal a puncture in a tire.arrow_forwardTechnician A says that replacement wheel rims should be the same as the original equipment wheels in load capacity, offset, width, diameter, and mounting configuration. Technician B says that if wheels are installed that have a different stock width or diameter, make sure to use a tire that has the same overall width as the original tires. Otherwise the vehicles wheel-speed sensors, speedometer, antiock brake system, and many other systems will be affected. Who is correct? a. Technician A only b. Technician B only c. Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forwardWhile discussing pull during braking: Technician A says that this can be caused by one tire being underinflated. Technician B says that a frozen wheel cylinder on one side of the car can cause this. Who is correct? Technician A only Technician B only Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forward
