Honestly, it's great to see people doing their own repairs. When it comes to auto repairs, I do a lot myself, but there are many things I don't. Personally, changing the TPS is not something I want to even attempt to do, especially since I have never done it before, nor do I have the proper tools. But also, mainly because I do not want to risk damaging the rim. As I feel, if I were to do this, I would make it worse. To each their own... but as many others have commented, yah you can save $ on changing the TPS, but then youre also having to buy new rims once you bend/damage the rims. (Reviewing the comment section is also a _must_ for me when watching DIYs). So changing the TPS would be for someone (mechanic) who has the proper equipment / setup. Just my opinion.
Common sense my man! Nobody has it anymore! Either that, or they're too lazy to walk around the car and look at the tires and if one looks low, put air in it. Or the car rides/feels different, you can tell when it's the tires, or the motor, or the struts/shocks/ coils springs etc. They should teach that in school, since they don't do it at home anymore. Lol😂 they should have a class called common sense 101. 😂
Thanks for sharing, this is good information. A tire shop will charge a mount and balance fee, and we can see here that a mount and balance is not needed. Stay gold.
Awesome ‘DO It Yourself’ video sir! The TPMS light drives me insane on my 2011 car. One sensor needs to be replaced so I’m have to order the part online & convince a tire shop to install it cheaply. Ha!
The issue with that is that most people will not check their tire pressures regularly. Back in the day when cars had 14 and 15 inch wheels with huge sidewalls this was not a problem as when the tire started to loose pressure it was very noticeable. Modern low profile run flat tires can be out of air and you basically cannot see it and will not notice it till you have damaged the tire. I figured this out in my 2016 Corvette Z06 when I had a front tire get a huge bolt in it and I was on the highway doing 60-70 mph and I suddenly saw a red tire pressure indicator flashing on the dash, when I looked at the tire pressure on the dash it showed zero tire pressure on my right side front tire. I though that the sensor must be bad as the car felt normal, but I decided to stop on the shoulder of the highway and check it out. Tire looked normal to me, but when I pulled out a pressure gauge it absolutely had no air pressure in it, and I finally saw the bolt embedded on tire.
If you are using this tool you don’t need balance you didn’t remove the wheel of the tire and mark tire to wheel orientation to make sure it doesn’t rotate
For the price and hassle I'll continue to to break the tire down and change it the old fashion way. I only break down one side so no remount or balance is really needed. But thank you for showing this new tool. Im always interested in new products.
Independent tire shop..not one of the chain's. I usually will change them when installing new tires, they install for free..i have replaced 2 of them when they went bad and they charge me $12 per tire.
As long as you provide the sensors this is what they charge, but one person in this comment section thinks that I am lying when I told him I paid 20 to have it replaced with me providing the sensor.

Nope. This tool will not bend the rim. (Assuming you aren't doing something really jackass stupid. I'm sure some Scotty Kilmer watching idiot can figure out a way to bend the rim with it.). However, it will scratch the shit out of your aluminum rim unless you know how to use a tool like this at an expert level.
This is not going to work on most cars. Its very rare to have a modern car with tires that have such a large flexible sidewall. If you have aluminum wheels, you need to be OK with scratching them, if you can even get the bead far enough away from the rim to actually replace the sensor. Also, you'll need to know how to put the TPMS system into learn mode and program the new sensor. Every car has a different procedure. The car in the video was chosen to make it look easy.
yeah not to mention the tire is now not balanced the sensor he removed different in size and probably just enough weight to make wheel vibrate at highway speed i totally agree with you
Absolutely nothing is wrong with replacing it with a regular valve stem. Just check pressure manually and ignore your warning light for low pressure. Good to go.
The only problem with listening to all the youtube car "experts" is they have no idea what they're talking about. If they do something one time and it worked on their car, that means it works on everyone's car. Can you just remove the sensors and live with the light? Sometimes. However, as vehicles get more complicated, other systems use information from the TPMS module. If those modules don't get the right information, other systems will shut down as well. Can you program all the sensors at the wheels and then throw them in your glove box? Maybe. If each sensor has its own frequency, you probably can. If your system goes by signal strength, then no. The signal strength from a sensor that's inside the LR wheel will be much weaker than it is when its outside the wheel. And that's if your car actually has TPMS sensors. Some TPMS systems use the tone wheel sensors to calculate air pressure instead of dedicated TPMS sensors. If you have a late model vehicle with expanded telematics features, dtc's set from just about any module will trigger the telematics module to connect to wifi and inform the manufacturer there's an issue with the car. Then you get a phone call from the manufacturer telling you to take the vehicle to your nearest dealer for service. Aside from that, you should be fine. I almost forgot. "Is there anything wrong with just eliminating the sensors and putting regular valve stems in?" No need. You can remove the sensor and leave the old valve in place. The sensor just attaches to the valve because they have to put it somewhere. It has nothing to do with how the valve works. Also, there is one exception. If you have a metal valve stem, that's part of the TPMS sensor. On those you remove the entire assembly and replace it with a standard rubber valve. But you should only remove these things if you're sure you won't have problems. The older the vehicle, the more likely you are to get away with it.
One certain cars you need a serial numbers programmed and on some that can be done when you program ,also some come preprogrammed and by inflating and deflating the tire the sensor get activated ,I have posted to easy reset and program TPMS
Widowmaker tool right there. Damage to the sidewall !!! whoever thought that was a good design needs to retire & fast before they cause a string of blow outs.
@@KBLIZZ333 it should have a much wider foot pushing on the sidewall on the bead and where it meets the sidewall/tread area. I dare you to show that tool to every tire mfg and let me know what they tell you.
@@automan1223 You ever used or seen a tire machine at a repair shop? Those professional machines are a lot more violent to a tire than this thing ever could be. My 27 years in automotive repair industry I've used a ton of different methods and machines to do tires and in my opinion this thing isn't going to damage a tire (if used properly of course)
The average person is so stupid, you may be right. I don't see what they could possibly do to end up in the ER using this tool, but most people think Scotty Kilmer is a real mechanic, and not a youtube actor. I guess anything is possible.
Damage 1 wheel and you can buy a whole box of TPMS devices at 12 bucks each. I see that tool breaking wheel flanges, if not damaging enough to fail later at speed.
If you really think it’s easy to bust the softer rubber tire than to break an alloy rim and with slow force and proper lubricants you can easily slid the rubber tire off the rim , create a small opening between the tire and the rim to get the lubricant get through
Spending 50 dollars for only that tool when a garage will proberly charge 10 dollars for the job makes no sense at all.Not to mention the cost of the valve puller ,tyre pump and compressor .
U forget to mention it isn't going to work till you get very expensive Scanner tool to read and identify the brand of NEW sensor then map to the car, so it knows it their otherwise it isn't going work. just pay tire guy to do it,
The force required to bend that rim is enormous. Far beyond what that tool and impact wrench can put out. Let us know what timestamp you see the rim bending. Stay gold.
In todays modern car tyre pressure sensor plays a vital role on monitoring and alerting the driver also properly inflated tire help increase fuel efficiency and reduce risk of tire blow about and accident caused by over or under inflated tire Increases tire life and safety of the driver

This is more of a hassle with lower profile tires. Better to get a tire shop to unmount the tire. 👍🏻
Agreed I did try it and on a low profile tires go easy and take time to find the right pivot positions adjusting the two screws
If i have a tps go bad....
I just go to the place where i buy my tires.
Dennis will do it for the cost of the sensor. He also fixes my flats for free.
Great video. Did the same thing. I'll leave the tire on the vehicle next time. Looks easier.
If you mark the location or try not rotating the tire over the rim is a good idea to avoid the chance of out of balancing

Instead, check tire pressure every time you fill up and ignore the yellow light. Worked for nearly 100 years. Spend zero.
Most of the time you have to reset the new sensor s radio signal to the car which requires a tool that auto shops have
On my mazda it's self programming if you replace it with an oem sensor
You can buy those tire pressure reset tools online for as low as $10 check Amazon or ebay

Is there anything wrong with just eliminating the sensors and putting regular valve stems in?
If you do that the error message will display constantly on your instrument cluster warning you to service the TPMS system.
Or, just buy new TPMS monitors and put them in your glove box. The TPMS warning will shut off but you will get the low pressure icon lit.
Absolutely nothing is wrong with replacing it with a regular valve stem. Just check pressure manually and ignore your warning light for low pressure. Good to go.

Most places will charge at the least...$25....then the part itself...then balance fee as well...
I agree , if you are comfortable on doing it it save lots of time and money and you don’t need to do a balance
Leaving the tire on the car prevents you from checking for a leak on the side facing inward after reinflating.
The inside bead isn't broken in this scenario so no need
Why did you need to take the car to the gas station for air when you already have an air compressor?
That’s was done before bringing the car to my place we were checking if the light was on due to low tire pressure but edited on the end
Me after the first attempt: Hello?? AAA
You only left out one thing, the sensor serial number must be programmed into the ECM / PCM so it will be recognized or it will not work
One certain cars you need a serial numbers programmed and on some that can be done when you program ,also some come preprogrammed and by inflating and deflating the tire the sensor get activated ,I have posted to easy reset and program TPMS
