Remove valve core and deflate the tire. Use tire changing machine and break both beads. Make sure TPMS sensor is away from bead buster. Break bead at 90º, 180º and 270º to the valve.

When removing the tire, keep the TPMS sensor at the 12 o’clock position relative to the head of the tire changing machine. Do not hit sensor with the iron when prying up the bead. Rim should travel in the clockwise direction.

When the top bead is off, place the sensor at the 12 o’clock position relative to the head of the tire changing machine. Do not hit sensor with iron or bottom bead when prying up the bottom bead. Rim should travel in the clockwise direction.

To remove sensor, remove the prevailing torque hex nut using a 7 mm nut driver.

Carefully and firmly pull the sensor body straight back off the valve.

Attach a standard valve stem puller tool the valve. Remove the valve from the rim by pulling the valve bulb through the valve hole.

Assemble a new snap-in valve to the sensor body. Make sure the flats on valve lines up with the flats on the sensor body. Push the valve all the way into the hole until it stops.

Attach a new Lear prevailing torque hex nut to the valve body and use a preset 7mm nut driver to tighten the nut at a torque of 1.2 Nm. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN! Make sure the hex nut is in contact with the metal insert on the sensor body.

Lubricate and place the valve in the valve hole.

Using the standard valve stem puller tool, pull the valve stem straight through the valve hole, and NOT at an angle. Stop pulling when the indicator ring on the valve has passed completely through the valve hole.

This picture shows a TPMS sensor with a bad fit. Note that the valve bulb is not resting on the rim. This will not provide a good rim seal at the valve hole.

This picture shows a TPMS sensor with a correct fit. Note that the valve bulb is resting against the rim.

Apply tire soap or lubrication to the top and bottom tire beads.

To fit the bottom bead, position the sensor at the 5 o’clock position relative to the head on the tire changing machine.

Place the tire on the rim so the bottom bead touches the edge of the rim after the sensor (@6 o’clock). Rotate the rim clockwise, and push down on the tire at the 3 o’clock position to fit bottom bead

After bottom bead is on tire, rotate the rim until the sensor is at the 5 o’clock position relative to the head on the tire changing machine. Push down on the tire at the 3 o’clock position and rotate the rim clockwise to fit the top bead.

Inflate the tire until both beads seat.

Adjust the tire inflation pressure according to the vehicle recommendation.
