How do you repair a bicycle puncture?

I have all the tools and a spare inner tube just in case but have only got as far as taking my wheel off!

Remove the inner tube, by removing the wheel from the bicycle. Ensure the inner tube is fully deflated by pressing on the pin inside the valve. Remove the inner tube from the tyres using tyres levers failing that spoon handles also work well. Never use anything sharp.
Try to determine the cause if the puncture. There may be a thorn or piece of glass embedded in the tyre. Run your hand gently inside the tyre to check if there is something sharp. Remove if you find this with say a screwdriver. Alternatively check if a spoke is pushing through, ensure the tape inside the rim is sitting properly.
Inflate the tyre using a pump and fill a bowl with water and check if any bubbles escape. If they are escaping from teh valve you will need a new inner tube. If however they are escaping from a hole in the rubber remove the inner tube and dry this area, deflate the inner tube.
In your bicycle repair kit you will have a tube of rubber solution and a piece of rubber. Spread rubber solution on the area around the hole with rubber solution covering an area just wider than the rubber patch. Leave about 5minutes to dry. Check the rubber solution should be tacky. Peel off the backing of your rubber strip and apply that previously coated side to the rubber solution. To avoid air bubbles forming press from the center outwards. Once satisfied, grate and dust some chalk powder to prevent any extra rubber solution to sticking to your tyre.
Leave another few minutes before gently pumping up the inner tube again about half pressure. Check the hole is now fixed by placing under water again. If all is well then deflate position carefully inside the tyre and inflate to full pressure. Replace and tighten the wheel. You should now be ready to ride again.

if you have the spare, then just take the old one off, put the new one on, and then fill it with air to the proper psi
ask a vulcanizer to help u with that
They have little kits you can get at Walmart for tire punctures, with instructions.
YOU BUY A NEW TUBE!!!!!!!! IT'S ABOUT 2 BUCKS!!!
it depends how big of a puncture there is but take the rubber off then remove the inner tube... after that then put the new inner tube inside of the outer rubber casing and put that back on the bicycle
If you have a spare inner tube, just remove all the air from the old tube/tire, slip a tire spoon (or a flat handled screwdriver) under the tire, and gently pry it off the wheel. If you have two screwdrivers the process might be easier. Place the new tube on the rim, and rub a little bit of dish soap around the edge of the rim. Put the tire back on the rim, using the screwdrivers to gently pry it on, being careful not to gouge the new tube. Inflate the tire, and remount it on the bicycle.
If you are going to patch the old tube, fill it with air, and submerge it in water. Wherever the bubbles come out, that is where your leak is. If you don't have a container big enough to submerge it, spray water with a little bit of dish soap in it all around the tube and look for the bubbles there. The dish soap helps the water stick to the tube, instead of just running off.
