Hey everyone, quick question getting ready to install some New OEM TPMS Sensors on my winter rims and tires,

never owned a car with sensors before and never installed them before,

what I'm after is, is there any specific things i should know about? any tricks?

torque specs? etc.

ive done a search and didnt come with any direct info that answered my question

Im doin the install tomorrow so any quick info would be great,

Thanks Everyone!

seriously outta the 54 ppl that have viewed this not one has put TPMS sensors in??

 

I think most people go to a shop and just get them put on. I was only charged $8 to have mine installed.

 

Torque spec should be 4 Nm.

 

Exactly. Why frig with them when you don't have to?

OP: are you mounting the tires on the rims yourself?

 

tires were already mounted, i have them all done, i tend to do stuff myself becuz i can and hate payin others to do it

 

If the tires are installed, you'll need to break down the tire in order to install the sensor. Also, the tire should be rebalanced after the sensor is installed.

That's why most people just take it to a shop. It cuts out a ton of unneeded hassle.

 

i have access to a shop as my dad owns one, i just had never had a car with TPMS sensors before, so was just seeing if there was any insight into the subject, but i got them installed without a problem,

thanks everyone
