Just spotted this thread whilst looking for info on a space saver...
I've used these repair kits a couple of times now and they work fine, they are supposed to be temporary in that you'll get the puncture repaired properly ASAP as there could be internal damage to the tyre that you can't see.
No need to remove the tyre for the emergency repair, can be done with the wheel on the car if you can find the offending nail/screw etc. Essentially you remove the item causing the puncture, ream out the hole and push through a sticky rubber "bung" that expands to fill the hole and thus stops the leak. Bear in mind that you'll also need to buy a pump otherwise you'll have a nice repair and a very flat tyre :-)
