Tire does not need to be removed from the rim, remove the valve core,
break the bead, attach a lanyard valve stem cable and drop the sensor
into the tire, pull it out where you broke the bead and replace with
your new sensor, pull it back into place and replace the nut. Even at
my advanced age I can do a set of 4 in less than an hour. The reworked
sensor only works for some of the model years, check it out before you
invest much time for an old versus new sensor.
