The TPMS are are part of the valve stem. After you break the old wheels down, you use a deep well socket (14mm I think) to unscrew the collar that is on the valve stem. Once you have it completely unscrewed, put the TPMS in the new wheel & put the collar back on & retighten. It's about the easiest thing you will ever do...other than breathing.

I wouldn't worry about changing the gaskets on them unless they're really screwed up.

Do the other rims not have them in them already? I think they are all interchangable?

Spencer@tirerack · 07-26-2007, 05:30 AM

the sensors should be interchangeable as long as the wheel accepts them. not all wheels can take a tpms monitor...and no, they do not come with them

If the wheels don't have them, they will switch over just fine!

I do believe they take a 10-12mm socket.

Do not over tighten them!!!

No you can't. Unless you can get behind the dash & pull the light yourself.

Changeing rims and tires and dont want to pay the extra 100 bucks to have the old ones taken appart and remounted.

I wouldent guess there would be a fuse that runs the system??

don't over torque the TPMS they only need about 60 inch lbs. if you over tighten it will have a slow leak from the gromit.
