Thanks! I already had the same head breaker as you used. I had nothing to buy other than new sensors and a $14 training tool from Amazon. This video gave me instruction I needed to do the job myself! Success! Done in one hour taking it slow and easy complete with sensor training! Saved myself a ton of money! These sensors are real money makers for dealers and tire shops. Not me, not this time!
bead buster was cool--put "perpendicular to wheel" would be more accurate usage description. Video said "perpendicular to tire" which I thought meant the tire surface until you went way beyond that. Thx. Great video. Very helpful, clear, good audio, etc. Excellent.
I’m working on the rear tires of my 07 is250 this weekend. For the front tires, even though I broke the bead all the way around, it was difficult to move the tire out if the way to access the sensor. I ended up using a scissors jack on one side of the sensor and the bead buster on the other side to hold the gap open wide enough. I hope the back tires will be easier.
Easy way to break tire bead. Lay deflated tire on ground. Ramp 2x6 board up to edge of bead. Drive car up 2x6. Bead breaks easily. Done this lots of times. No prying, no cussing, no smashed fingers, no special tools required.
I tried something like this on a F-350 tire. Used the truck frame jacked up and a short 4x4. Put the 4x4 on the edge of the tire bead/rim and lower the truck. It did not work and there was much cussing.
and don't forget to stop at HD to pick up some Great Stuff big gap sealer to seal that tire before adding air to it. That should really help you out too!
FYI People, most cars require a TPMS scan tool to register the NEW TPMS ID with your computer. Or else your computer will not detect the new sensor. Additionally, some TPMS sensors require programming as well, so it's just not a pop in and let's go. Make sure you purchase a pre-programmed sensor and hope you don't have to upload TPMS ID's to the computer. Good luck. I love videos like these, they are my best friends. I have a shop and half the repairs are from people who watch these types of videos.
Thanks for the video and my only recommendation is to put something soft under the red tool because it has some sharp edges and it might damage the tire thank you again
To all the uneducated saying car makers put these on cars today as a scam or to screw the public out of money, RESEARCH......The reason we have TPMS is because the good old American government passed the TREAD Act which required all vehicle makers to equip their cars with this useless feature. So thank your congressman or senator, not the car makers, not the dealers, and not firestone. I hate dealers as much as anyone, but you cant blame them for this one.
the same way the GOOD OLD USELESS GOV'T stuck their useless stupid busybody noses in the plastic gas can business...........now we have unusable dangerous and hard to control gas cans that SPILL MORE GAS WHERE YOU DON'T WANT IT instead of the old ones that were easy to use and WORKED THE RIGHT WAY.............GOOD OLD GOV'T............
Hardly a "useless feature". People who complain about additional safety features that our government requires should see the death traps that fly around in other countries. I have, and I hardly consider things like anti-lock brakes, airbags, collision avoidance, backup cameras, TPMS sensors, etc. as useless. Get a clue, dude. I suppose you're one of those people that still complain about them removing lead from gasoline, huh? Checking your tire pressure before every drive isn't exactly practical and not everyone is comfortable with it, or has a clear understanding of what pressure is safe for their given vehicle. There's old people that drive, there's young people who drive, there's uneducated people who don't get it. Just because you think it's infringing on your rights to... I don't even know what your argument is, lol... doesn't mean features shouldn't be developed & implemented to help make it safer for everyone, including yourself - don't forget you and your loved ones are on the road with these people, too.... Not to mention, things can and do happen in between checking your tire pressure. I do all my own auto repair and I'm very diligent about maintaining my vehicles. IMHO, TPMS saved one of tires and possibly my family while we were on a road trip to Yellowstone. We picked up something sharp in a tire while at a roadside stop and a few minutes after getting back on the road, the warning went off while we going 75mph down the freeway. I was able to slowly slow down & pull over - watched the tire go completely flat only seconds after getting out to check it. Put the spare on, drove to nearest town where they plugged the puncture and 2 hours later we were back on the road. Who knows what would happened if I hadn't had 10-15 seconds of lead time - maybe nothing, maybe catastrophe. This was a fully loaded Suburban with camping gear, roof top box, kayak and 7 people inside. I didn't even wreck the tire, drove on it for years afterwards. If it wasn't so expensive to replace, you wouldn't be complaining so the real issue is overinflated prices. Car makers make billions in profit every year and perhaps THEY should be required to service safety features like these AT COST instead of charging the RIDICULOUS prices I see dealers asking for - $800 to replace 4 sensors? $250 at Discount tire and they only last 2 years (my experience)? C'mon man! If you can order 4 of these for $40 off of Amazon and takes Wal-Mart a few minutes to replace, it shouldn't be so expensive to maintain by the dealer.... Profits on the vehicles we buy are through the roof and I shouldn't have to pay bloated prices to keep my vehicle safe just so some jerk at GM can fuel up his jet every week.
@6:45 When you install TPMS sensor w/rubber stem, you need to apply some mounting lubricant pasta, how it is shown (I used Bead Don on rubber stems), like for usual stems w/no TPMS. But do you need to apply a bit of that paste on metal stem? Or something else should be applied, or just nothing? But the metal stem also has on the bottom the Rubber gasket as well, so should be lubricated I think. Thank you for the informative film.
@@klowny1969 I subscribed immediately after I watched a bit this film, but thank you for reminding. And many thanks on clarification on lubricant pasta, I'll apply just a bit to be on the safe side.
Does the nut torque from a new set depend on the sensor you are installing a new set on? Or that torque is the same for any sensor it fits on? For example, the original TPMS sensor require 65 in-lbs (2009 Nissan Sentra), but new service kit for the nut included in that set gives 35 in-lbs. I didn't look before on the packet of the service kit and installed w/63 in-lbs. The car was driving perfectly fine like for 2 years. Now I'm replacing the wheels and moving the TPMS sensors fm old wheels to the new ones. I'm replacing the service kit items of course (nut, washer, gasket, and Schrader Valve). Here it came to my attention the printed value of the nut torque on the small packet for the new kit (35 in-lbs). So I don't know what torque to apply 65, 35 or smth in between (especially as everything was fine and with 65). I inspected the previous service kit nuts, which were used for 2 years, and which were under 63 in-lbs instead of 35, they were fine, no hairline cracks on them. I would appreciate any opinions on this matter.
Great video. But In my particular case, I'd have to pay someone big bucks to reconnect new sensors to the car display so I just leave the TPMS light on. I'd sure like to know how to disconnect that light.
You can buy four new sensors that screw onto your valve stems and a solar reader that goes into your car for less than $75.00 from Amazon. Then put some black electricians tape over the damn light.
I have that very bead breaker. It works just like shown. Easy-peasy. The problem I ran into is my portable air compressor, a Viair 400 P, couldn't reseat the bead. It has plenty of pressure, but not enough volume, I could see it leaking around the rim. I think if I had a ratchet strap around the perimeter of the tire it would have worked. But I had to go to a tire store anyway.
Very cool. Instead of cutting the valve stem, can't you just tap it with a mallet and pop it through the hole? Also, once you get the bead broken loose in one place, I think you can just take a hammer to the tire and go around hammering until the bead comes completely loose. I think that should work quickly.
Hello I bought tire sensors from walmart online however they have no back cover, there is just silicon on the back side. Do you think silicon is strong enough to keep the mechanism and the battery inside in place, are they safe enough to use like that without the back cover? Thx
Will my car pass inspection with the dash lit up with bad tpms? I don't wanna replace these anymore. I always check my pressure and look at tires once a week. NYS resident.
Great video. I just let the light keep blinking. This is a ridiculous feature for a car. I know how to check my tire pressure and fill my tires with air.
@@klowny1969 I was only asking because I have brand new tires, rims and valve stems already. I just need to transfer the old TPS's over to the new wheels which came off a brand new truck. Brand new wheels going on old truck. TPS's from new truck not compatible with old truck.
Yeah, tire pressure sensors. A useless device put on cars to cost you lots of money. Not only do you have to pay hundreds of dollars for the device when you buy the car, you have to pay hundreds of dollars when you have to constantly replace the gizmos and then get the system to recognize the gizmos. The fun part is that most of the time they don't work right. Car dealers just love them, because it feeds them hundreds of dollars on every car that waltzes in. I don't have any on my cars, but I have changed them out for friends and neighbors. On smaller cars, it is not nearly as easy as this video shows. So far, almost everyone I know has quit replacing them because trying to keep all four working and in sync seems an impossible task. Trying to buy the correct sensor and trying to relearn a new sensor for the system can be a real daymare. Besides a tire gauge works perfectly. As such, most people I know, now turn it off manually in dash settings, disable it, or put a piece of black tape over the light on the dash.
Bingo! I've got a HHR and I get sick and tired of changing this damn things out every 2 yrs and that damn tire warning msg that just harasses you every time you drive your car.
Actually, I was driving my 4Runner on the highway and felt a little bump. 5 minutes later my TPMS warning light came on and I was able to get off the highway and pull into a 7-Eleven. Something punctured my tread and I was losing air fast - was down to about 10 psi. I was able to use a tire plug kit and air compressor I kept in the truck to fix it without even removing the wheel. The fix lasted another 25k miles until the tires were worn out. Thank God for TPMS in that situation. I would have literally gone flat on the highway and who knows whether I would’ve lost control or not. Only seeing the light flashing saved me and made me pull over. It’s one of those things You don’t appreciate until it saves your ass. I’m a believer now.
@@michaelmaxwell568 I agree. Prior to TPMS my wife would destroy a tire a year. Since TPMS she has not. But once a year she will mention that the light came on. A couple of times it was a puncture with a nail or such, twice it was a leaky rim. But I was able to get them repaired before losing the tire. And I have never had a TPMS sensor fail. Oldest ones we have now are from a 2013 Honda which we just gave to our daughter.
I assume your going to balance these tires before you put them back on the car? The bead buster can eventually get the tire apart but you still need mounting and BALANCING equipment to do the job right
Wrong. Use a replacement sensor that is very close to the same weight as the original, and be sure not to shift the position of the tire on the wheel, and you should be good to go.
@@klowny1969 I know!!! I'm so cheap. Haha. Found out it's 69 at Belle tire. Better than looking at that black tape trick and resetting every time I go on a cruise. Great video btw. I need a freaking shop.
Yes, there are always incompetent professionals that are willing to rape your wallet for things you can do yourself. I'd rather do things myself with the proper tools.
I guess it's useful however, with my old used tire machine I paid $200 for. I'd have the tire off sensor in and tire back on the car in the amount of time it took him to do what he was doing just to get to the sensor .But I guess it's good if you don't have a tire machine or can't get the one.
With that tire sensor flashing, you don't know which of the 4 tire is involved. That means that you have to do this on all of the 4 tire or perhaps it might be a defect not on the tire senor but on the display.
@@klowny1969 Thanks for the reply. In my car, a 2014 Prius V the tire sensor display is lighted up. I know that tire pressure on all of the 4 tire are OK at 35 PSI so it's a false alarm.
Please Help. DO YOU HAVE TO CHANGE THIS? WILL ANYTHING BAD HAPPEN TO MY TIRE IF I DONT CHANGE IT? They are charging me $80 dollars To fix this issue. Any advice will be greatly appreciated sir
This is the most scam part that car-makers put on vehicles Just the scam on cabin air filter. ATG says don't pay over $125.00 for this tool. Just remove TPMS sensors and install regular one back onto wheels when tires need replacement.
The one used in this video is about $100-$120. Depending on where you go. They have a manual bead breaker for $55. Or a bead breaker bar for less than $20
Great how to video.....A couple of things that I noticed for fun.... How many Camaros do you have? Because every time I see one, there is a clown driving it. Also @2:30 I see what kind of tires that Camaro has. J/K
Agreed....50 year been driving and never needed some fancy costly crap like this to tell me a tyre was down on pressure. I'm no Luddite...I embrace new technology...but this nonsense is a joke.
Take it to your nearby discount tire and they will do it for you free of charge. They have the computer device that will sync your new sensors to your computer.
@@mattp733i They said they can read & reset the sensors, but it would cost 64$ to replace one. Fortunately, I discovered the vehicle has a reset button & that worked to clear the sensor light. Apparently, a reset needs to be done from time to time as tire load & pressure changes. Amazing what you can learn when you download the user's manual. Thanks you.
@@ab_ab_c No problem. How did you reset the tpms system? Was it the tpms button by the steering wheel column? I recently put on new tires on my 2006 Lexus GS and my tpms light came on after 50 miles of driving. It flashes and check system light is on. Tire Pressure is fine. ☹
@@mattp733i Not sure how it would work exactly for a Lesus. The YT vid that I watched showed how to set the TPMS for another model Toyota vehicle (which I tried & discovered it did not work on my model, so I downloaded the user's manual & followed it's instructions & it worked). The procedure for my vehicle (Toyota Sienna) is as follows: Switch off the engine, turn the ignition to the on position (i.e. the position just before the starter engages), press & hold the TPMS button until the dash indicator light flashes 3 times. Turn off the ignition. Start the car & take it for a drive--the TPMS dash indicator should remain off (if it doesn't, then the book recommends you take your vehicle to an authorized stealership--but, I suggest you take it to Discount tire to identify the bad sensor). By the way, you can change out the sensor yourself, if you're handy--there are YT vids that show you how to do it. Good luck!
As he said in the video, it all depends on the car’s maker. They all have different ways to reset and reactivate/relearn the tpms. That’s a 2 steps process: 1) reset 2) relearn. For the relearn process, you can also buy a universal tool (just check on amazon for “tpms relearn reset activation tool”) for about 12-15$, then youtube it to see how to use it (pretty easy, just put the tool next to the tire, click on the button on the tool, wait until it turns green then do the same for all tires).
@@chrispixx In some cars the spare also has TPMS Sensor, and it is a source of confusion, when all the tires are at the right pressure, but it is low pressure in the spare, which makes the light come on.

Not only do you have to pay hundreds of dollars for the device when you buy the car, you have to pay hundreds of dollars when you have to constantly replace the gizmos and then get the system to recognize the gizmos. The fun part is that most of the time they don't work right. Car dealers just love them, because it feeds them hundreds of dollars on every car that waltzes in. I don't have any on my cars, but I have changed them out for friends and neighbors. On smaller cars, it is not nearly as easy as this video shows. So far, almost everyone I know has quit replacing them because trying to keep all four working and in sync seems an impossible task. Trying to buy the correct sensor and trying to relearn a new sensor for the system can be a real daymare. Besides a tire gauge works perfectly. As such, most people I know, now turn it off manually in dash settings, disable it, or put a piece of black tape over the light on the dash.
Bingo! I've got a HHR and I get sick and tired of changing this damn things out every 2 yrs and that damn tire warning msg that just harasses you every time you drive your car.
They are suppose to last 7 years:
Actually, I was driving my 4Runner on the highway and felt a little bump. 5 minutes later my TPMS warning light came on and I was able to get off the highway and pull into a 7-Eleven. Something punctured my tread and I was losing air fast - was down to about 10 psi. I was able to use a tire plug kit and air compressor I kept in the truck to fix it without even removing the wheel. The fix lasted another 25k miles until the tires were worn out. Thank God for TPMS in that situation. I would have literally gone flat on the highway and who knows whether I would’ve lost control or not. Only seeing the light flashing saved me and made me pull over. It’s one of those things You don’t appreciate until it saves your ass. I’m a believer now.
@@michaelmaxwell568 I agree. Prior to TPMS my wife would destroy a tire a year. Since TPMS she has not. But once a year she will mention that the light came on. A couple of times it was a puncture with a nail or such, twice it was a leaky rim. But I was able to get them repaired before losing the tire. And I have never had a TPMS sensor fail. Oldest ones we have now are from a 2013 Honda which we just gave to our daughter.
That’s bad ass

I assume your going to balance these tires before you put them back on the car? The bead buster can eventually get the tire apart but you still need mounting and BALANCING equipment to do the job right
No you dont..I explained why in the video.
Wrong. Use a replacement sensor that is very close to the same weight as the original, and be sure not to shift the position of the tire on the wheel, and you should be good to go.
Would the XB 452 work any better?
What happens when you rotate the tires? Do the sensors report from the new tire location?
U have to recalibrate
Tip! Heat the valve stem with a propane torch... just the metal... won’t take but 30 sec and the metal stem will slide right out!!
Can it be done with a heat gun or blow dryer?
What if the old sensor is totally gone . How do you program the new one? Thanks
Same way as if you replace it..don't forget to subscribe
Great video. Costco tire center charged $70 labor for replacing TPMS in 5 tires.
I got a quote for 110 dollars a tire at firestone
@@klowny1969 jc that's insane! I might be calling Costco. Oy
Lol it's not that bad
@@klowny1969 I know!!! I'm so cheap. Haha. Found out it's 69 at Belle tire. Better than looking at that black tape trick and resetting every time I go on a cruise. Great video btw. I need a freaking shop.
My chevy dealer wanted $423 for parts and another $300 for labor to do this.
I wouldn't use this method on painted custom rims.
thx for the info!

Technology that's nothing but a pain in the rear and something else to fail... makes we want to keep my 2003 vehicle forever...
Agreed
The Windex comment is very funny.
Thanks lol
@@klowny1969 😀😃😄😁😆😅🤣😂
Instead of using only a piece of wood, wouldn't it be easier to use a C clamp with a piece of wood on both sides of the tire?
Sure you can do that if you want..don't forget to subscribe
"Sorry camera girl.... I got it all over you!"
it happens
As a tire tech he made this way harder then it needed to be
How would you have done it?
for these kind of jobs, there are professionals, like in the vulcanization, so I believe, that it's the better way :D but thanks anyway!
Yes, there are always incompetent professionals that are willing to rape your wallet for things you can do yourself. I'd rather do things myself with the proper tools.
Good vid bro
Thank u
Not all sensors have the screw
It looks like the big Buster would scratch the h*** out of a Nice rim
Not if you do it right..dont forget to susbscribe
Man if you care that much about your rims your a bitch!
Rev up your engine!
I guess it's useful however, with my old used tire machine I paid $200 for. I'd have the tire off sensor in and tire back on the car in the amount of time it took him to do what he was doing just to get to the sensor .But I guess it's good if you don't have a tire machine or can't get the one.
This takes less than 10 minutes to do. Don't forget to subscribe
With that tire sensor flashing, you don't know which of the 4 tire is involved. That means that you have to do this on all of the 4 tire or perhaps it might be a defect not on the tire senor but on the display.
On this car it tells you what tire has no input from the sensor
@@klowny1969 Thanks for the reply. In my car, a 2014 Prius V the tire sensor display is lighted up. I know that tire pressure on all of the 4 tire are OK at 35 PSI so it's a false alarm.
@@manuelmoraleda9285 It also reads the spare so check that.
That seems like a lot of work... just use a bumper jack
Who has a bumper jack these days lol
Good vid..... you sound like bob from bobs burgers

Thank you!
Please Help.
DO YOU HAVE TO CHANGE THIS?
WILL ANYTHING BAD HAPPEN TO MY TIRE IF I DONT CHANGE IT?
They are charging me $80 dollars
To fix this issue.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated sir
No need to change it
Does it scratch or mark up the rim AT ALL? Does any red paint get left behind? thank you.
No nothing..great tool..thanks for commenting and dont forget to susbscribe:)
This is the most scam part that car-makers put on vehicles
Just the scam on cabin air filter.
ATG says don't pay over $125.00 for this tool.
Just remove TPMS sensors and install regular one back onto wheels when tires need replacement.
Great vid. Excellent info. Super helpful. Thank You
Those sensors have batteries in them?
weelgunny yea they do,but unfortunately can’t change it,it’s sealed up
Gasket sealer on a tire and rim is not recommended soap and water is all you need
gasket sealer is the same stuff steelman uses to seal a tire
Awesome!! Great video
Thanks for watching..dont forget to subscribe and hit that bell :)
Save $120 you can do that with a sledge hammer and a piece of 2X4
$15 no need for fancy tools, but I appreciate your video nevertheless
The one used in this video is about $100-$120. Depending on where you go. They have a manual bead breaker for $55. Or a bead breaker bar for less than $20
Pretty cool! I'm still annoyed that I have to do this to clear the stupid code. Just another reason to waste money and time. But seriously, thanks!

Great how to video.....A couple of things that I noticed for fun.... How many Camaros do you have? Because every time I see one, there is a clown driving it. Also @2:30 I see what kind of tires that Camaro has. J/K
Lol
@@klowny1969 , good site, man
Thank you for watching and commenting
Easy to bypass,some put the sensors in the spare tire.There are others too
How many others have expensive painted wheels that they keep in pristine condition, cringed when they saw this beadbuster and pry bar utilized 😬
This wheel was from a 07 impala and it didn't suffer any damage lol don't forget to subscribe
Neat job.
thank you..dont forget to subscribe
Thanks to f0rd ,f1restone and lawyers for these stupid sensors
Agreed....50 year been driving and never needed some fancy costly crap like this to tell me a tyre was down on pressure.
I'm no Luddite...I embrace new technology...but this nonsense is a joke.
The dumbest sensors I have ever seen. I took mine out and threw them away. They haven't bothered me since. My 53 ford never needed any.
ALWAYS A SHAME TO SEE A LEAD WEIGHT ON THE OUTSIDE OF A WHEEL. STATIC BALANCE..
Good vid, but I wish you would have shown how to get the vehicle to recognize the new sensor.
Take it to your nearby discount tire and they will do it for you free of charge. They have the computer device that will sync your new sensors to your computer.
@@mattp733i They said they can read & reset the sensors, but it would cost 64$ to replace one. Fortunately, I discovered the vehicle has a reset button & that worked to clear the sensor light. Apparently, a reset needs to be done from time to time as tire load & pressure changes. Amazing what you can learn when you download the user's manual.
Thanks you.
@@ab_ab_c No problem. How did you reset the tpms system? Was it the tpms button by the steering wheel column? I recently put on new tires on my 2006 Lexus GS and my tpms light came on after 50 miles of driving. It flashes and check system light is on. Tire Pressure is fine. ☹
@@mattp733i Not sure how it would work exactly for a Lesus. The YT vid that I watched showed how to set the TPMS for another model Toyota vehicle (which I tried & discovered it did not work on my model, so I downloaded the user's manual & followed it's instructions & it worked). The procedure for my vehicle (Toyota Sienna) is as follows: Switch off the engine, turn the ignition to the on position (i.e. the position just before the starter engages), press & hold the TPMS button until the dash indicator light flashes 3 times. Turn off the ignition. Start the car & take it for a drive--the TPMS dash indicator should remain off (if it doesn't, then the book recommends you take your vehicle to an authorized stealership--but, I suggest you take it to Discount tire to identify the bad sensor). By the way, you can change out the sensor yourself, if you're handy--there are YT vids that show you how to do it. Good luck!
As he said in the video, it all depends on the car’s maker. They all have different ways to reset and reactivate/relearn the tpms. That’s a 2 steps process: 1) reset 2) relearn.
For the relearn process, you can also buy a universal tool (just check on amazon for “tpms relearn reset activation tool”) for about 12-15$, then youtube it to see how to use it (pretty easy, just put the tool next to the tire, click on the button on the tool, wait until it turns green then do the same for all tires).
Roughly what is the cost of sensor?
20-30 bux..dont forget to subscribe!!
thanks I did subscribe@@klowny1969
U don’t have to remove the sensor from the stem,the sensor doesn’t touch rim.Before u do all this check the pressure in the spare tire in the trunk.
The TPMS system reads left front, right front, left rear, and right rear. I'm interested in hearing about what the spare has to do with it.
@@chrispixx In some cars the spare also has TPMS Sensor, and it is a source of confusion, when all the tires are at the right pressure, but it is low pressure in the spare, which makes the light come on.
@@olenaerhardt7725 I guess in some cars possibly, but not mine
