The method of the present invention comprises placing the shoe within a pipe and inflating the bladder so as to secure the shoe frame within the pipe. A flexible cable is then trained around the roller and into the flexible pipe.

A lateral packer and felt combination are disclosed for use in efficiently inhibiting infiltration into or out of a pipeline. The lateral packer is inflated and expands radially to secure the felt at the source of infiltration. Once the felt is secured, the lateral packer is removed and the felt left in place as a barrier to infiltration.
