How to swap TPMS sensors? Help needed
Just looking for some quick advice from someone who's done this without the use of shop tire removal tools. I'm replacing my steelies with alloys this weekend and trying to decide whether to put the sensors from the steelies into the alloys avoiding the $100 dealer charge to reset the TPMS or just put the new alloys on (they include new TPMS sensors) and pay the dealer the reset fee. I checked with a couple of local dealers, they all charge the same.
The CollegeHillsHonda video makes it look easy to remove the sensors once the tire is loose from the rim. Can I push the tire off the rim by standing on it or using a block of wood to force it off or do I need to go to an auto shop and use the power tire tools? If I'm successful in getting the TPMS swapped, how do I get the tire back on the rim?
Thanks RG
