You can probably get Discount Tire/America's Tire to use their tool to read the ID being broadcast from each of the sensors without breaking them down. It would only take them 5 minutes, and they might do it for $5 in the tip jar. I have a relatively inexpensive TPMS relearn tool from Autel that does this, so I'd fully expect any tire shop to have the capability.

It's difficult to put the whole tire on in the same position. If you use the chalk method and manage to get it back on in the same position and it's still balanced, then all the power to you.

The only thing I would caution is if you have existing TPMS sensors, you probably want to break the bead 180 degrees from the TPMS sensor. As the tire starts to come down off the rim, it'll snap the transmitter of the old sensor off of the stem, at drop into the tire. That is a BEATCH to fish out of there with rim still inside the tire.

I will do this trick when next I need to change out a sensor. Tire shops where I live want 20 bucks plus tax to change out a sensor and if you have some years on the ride you will want to change out all four. So save yourself some money and do this. Only other thing I may do is go to Harbor Freight and buy the cheap tire changer just to break the bead, less than 50 bucks. I have three trucks, one car, two lawn tractors and a 50 hp tractor so I'd put it to good use. I try to do my own work when I can; brakes, axles, A/C components (I do have a mechanic flush/vacuum the system).

Great video. Instead of soap, use special bid sealer, to seal tire and valve on the rim. Any NAPA store has it. To balance the wheel, use two weights, from both sides of the rim, opposite to the sensor. Measure the distance from center of the sensor to the edge of the rim on the sensor's side. Divide the difference in weight between old and new valve (23 grams in this case) on width of the rim and multiply it on received distance to the center of sensor. You got weight of the balance for OPPOSITE to the sensor side. Subtract it from 23 grams - you got weight for side of sensor. Obviously, shorter distance requires of the heavier portion. In case the sensor would be positioned at middle, weights would be 50% of 23 grams for each side. However, if old valve is heavier, than new one, balancing weights supposed to be placed at valve. STATIC balancing would work with a single weight. DYNAMIC balancing requires two of them.
@dannyo66996 жыл бұрын
You can also get a similar response by just simply moving the weight away from the sensor a bit. For every 1/4 oz the sensor weighs, move the weight the distance of the clamp holding it to the rim away from the sensor. Usually that provides sufficient compensation for any weight difference. But ultimately, you may just have to have the tires re-balanced anyway.
@voiceinthewilderness66066 жыл бұрын
My respond strictly complies with Mechanics. Many ways are possible. You can use a rod scale, with length of the rod, equal to width of the rim and hang the rod in the same distance from its edge, as the sensor is. Of course, the scale must be balanced, when idle. Balance such a scale with 23 grams of sand. You will get balancing weights for each side.

Don’t forget to first clean the valve stem hole surfaces in both the outer and inner part of the wheel before installing the TPMS unit.

Yeah..... There are some people who can't seem to reply with anything other than "let a professional do it". Professionals aren't some different being than the rest of us. If they can do it, you can do it, although it might take more effort.

I was thinking of placing TPMS sensors on my Yamaha FJR motorcycle. They of course make the ones that just act as a screw on cap. However, my thinking is doing it internally has to be better. Have you ever tried to replace a motorcycle tire? Folks, I spent hundreds of dollars on a tire mount/dismount set and could not get the tires off the rims. Ended up selling the entire system.. Plus, those non-professional tire changers will damage your rims. Even though you are not taking the tire off here, just squeezing a very dense smaller motorcycle tire is a real job. I may just have the motorcycle shop do it when I have them change the tire. I don't have any problems taking them off.

I've never touched a motorcycle tire, no. What leads you to believe the internal ones would be better?

I change tires on my Super Tenere pretty regularly with 3 tire spoons and a 4th for bead braking. The two keys that I have learned are ensure the tires are warm and use generous amounts of legitimate tire lube. The first is easy, take the bike for a ride and set the replacement tire in the sun or near a heat vent. The second, I bought a gallon of RuGlyde from Napa which will likely last me the rest of my motorcycling life(I'm almost 30 and won't be stopping soon). I have given up on not scratching my rims as I treat my Tenere like the overgrown enduro bike that it is. However, the MotionPro Rimshield II do work but are a little fiddly. Some tires are just flat out more difficult than others; I have found a decent price, ease of use, and longevity in Shinko 804/805 tires and will probably continue to use them. I am certain some some internet searching could identify the sport/touring equivalent. My last comment is my most recent time/headache saver, Ride-On tire sealant. The stuff is kind of expensive but the time and piece of mind saved by not balancing my tires is great. I have yet to experience a puncture with it but believe it will hold up just fine.

@GabesHacks5 жыл бұрын
I talked about how I programmed mine here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hJygaduHmbbQeJc.html I used programmable sensors, so I programmed the sensors themselves because I wanted an identical set for my winter tires. You could also get normal sensors and program the vehicle (which you need a different tool for). But some cars automatically learn new sensors and you don't need to program anything at all. It depends on your car.

Very nice, thanks. Today I spent 20$ to change 4 valves (includes common valves and wheel balancing). $20 is not a problem, but I spent about 2 hours in a tail. It would be easier to spend 1 hour and 2$ and do it myself.

You can pull the valve stem straight out, bend the pliers against the side of the rim for more leverage and the entire thing will come out.

You never ever want to break the bead right at the sensor you’re better off breaking it 180 degrees away then working the bead around. But seeing as it had no TPNS sensor to being with until after you added one that’s fine.
