- Raise vehicle on a suitable support. Remove tire and wheel assembly from vehicle. Wheel hub cap must be removed prior to mounting or dismounting a tire from a wheel.
- Dismount tire from wheel following tire changer manufacturer's instructions, while paying special attention to the following to avoid damaging tire pressure sensor:
- The sensor is strapped around the wheel, inside the tires. The sensor will always be located nearly opposite the valve stem (174 degrees). Position the tire and wheel assembly on the changing machine so that the upper/lower bead breaker or other tire changing tools will not contact the sensor.
- On tire changing machines that have upper and lower bead breakers located 180 degrees apart that operate simultaneously, locate valve stem midway between the two bead breakers so that the wheel sensor is at least 90 degrees away from either breaker. A clear decal on the wheel flange indicates where to apply the bead breakers. See Fig 1.
- Loosen clamp screw until strap can be separated from clamp. Remove sensor assembly from wheel.
