Removing TPM sensors? Quick Question

[willy723]

Hey all, I have been searching hoping for a picture thread on properly removing the TPM sensors from the wheels without damaging them. I don't know if its because I am just being too careful and this is alot easier to do than I am making it out to be, but I just want to make sure there is no special care to pay attention to as to not damamge them or a certain tool required. Any info would be great.

After the tire is removed, just unscrew the retaining nut and remove the TP sensor.

yea super easy. once the tire is off there is a nut that unscrews and it pulls out from the back. super simple

Discount Tires sells the new seal lit for about $7. It may not be needed depending on the age of the sensors. They also have a torque spec of 70 "/lbs on the install.
on the outside sleeve. A little dish soap and water usually helps the seals and retainer slide into place without binding and tearing.
