Make sure the seals are seated straight before tightening, no special tools needed. Or, hopefully you're going to a place like Discount Tire & they can put them in for you.

LOL. Maybe I'll start sending you PMs when I have a question. Thanks HD. Yeah it looks pretty straight forward, I didn't have the sensors in hand when I posted the thread but now that I do...I will be having a tire shop install the tires on my RB Legends tomorrow so I'll just let them put them on.

Thanks again.

I just handed them off to the guy mounting and balancing my tires and he knew exactly what to do with them. Didn't ask any questions and I've had no issues to date.

You pick up an extra set of swapping from your stock wheels?

LOL. You're killing me. I won't have picks up until the end of the weekend, possibly Monday. I'm pretty anal rententive when it comes to my car so like you I want to wash and wax it etc. I've already got two coats of wax on my wheels. I know it's sick. Can you give me an extension on the throat punching until the end of the weekend?!?

I purchased an extra set from the dealership and just finished putting them in. I called a dealership in the U.S. and they were $112 U.S. each. My dealer only charged me $68 CAD. I guess PSI is worth more then KPA. LOL.

I have an appointment at 0800 to have the tires put on. I will then be in meetings until 1300. So there is a good chance that I will wash her tomorrow and clay bar/wax her on Friday morning. I want to take some decent shots and the best time to do that is before 1000 or after 1400. I will do my best to have the photos up by the end of Sat. Promise.
