Removal

NOTE: If it is necessary to remove the tire pressure transmitter from the wheel, the tire does not need to be removed from the wheel.

1. Remove the tire/wheel from the vehicle.

CAUTION: When removing the stick on balancing weights from the wheel, do not use an abrasive cleaner or a cleaner which will damage the protective finish on the wheel.

2. Remove the clamp on and stick on balancing weights from the wheel.

NOTE: The cap used on this valve stem contains an O-ring seal to prevent contamination and moisture from entering the valve stem. Retain this valve stem cap for re-use, do not substitute another valve stem cap.

3. Remove the cap from the valve stem.

NOTE: The valve stem used on this vehicle is aluminum and the core is stainless steel. The original valve stem core must be reinstalled and not substituted for a valve stem core made of a different material. This is required to prevent corrosion in the valve stem caused by the different metals.





4. Using the appropriate tool, remove the core from the valve stem.
5. Let the tire fully deflate.

CAUTION: The pressure transmitter must be removed from the wheel and dropped into the tire prior to breaking the bead and dismounting the tire. Failure to do this will greatly increase the risk of damaging the pressure transducer when servicing the tire.





6. Remove nut mounting valve stem pressure sensor/transmitter to the wheel. Drop pressure transmitter into tire.

CAUTION: When breaking the top and bottom bead of the tire off the wheel, care must be used so the bead breaking mechanism on the tire changer does not damage the wheel. This includes the surface of the wheel flange on the inside of the wheel.

7. Using the tire changer manufacturers procedure, first break down the upper bead of the tire. Then break down the bottom bead of the tire.

CAUTION: When dismounting the upper bead from the wheel, the required procedure must be used. Not using the specified procedure will result in damage to the wheel and tire.

8. Dismount the upper bead of the tire from the wheel. The upper bead must be fully dismounted from the wheel to remove the tire pressure transmitter from the inside of the tire. The bottom bead of the tire does not need to be removed from the wheel.





9. Pull upward on the tire. Reach into the tire and remove the pressure transmitter from inside the tire.
