At home TPMS removal WITHOUT special equipment breaking a tire bead

Here's how you can remove your TPMS units at home. If you go in to a tire shop they might charge up to $20 a wheel to pull them and refill them with air. Here you can see what it takes to do it at home. I used an inexpensive tool for pulling a new valve stem into place. See below for a link to purchase one for yourself.

This is the safest and fastest way to do it at home, better than the jack method. Changed my sensors quickly. Thanks

[@omorin34]

I wasn't even interested in this topic but I saw the backyard engineering and had to see if this worked. Nice Job!

[@discerningmind]

I can't believe you broke that bead with wood that way. I remember helping my Dad and we used a heavy car to gently drive onto the tire.

[@west_park7993]

in olden days the tires were narrow and the side walls were wider, 85, 75. Nowadays with small numbers, 55, 60, it is more tricky.

[@nelsoni1234]

I follow up your instructions and it was so easy to replace the bad TPMS Thank you so much

[@johnbarnett2804]

wow, I just did it. I've never broken down a tire so easy. I sprayed the bead down with soap water and used the 2x4 and 2x6 just like you did. Thanks!! saved me lots of work.

[@mrstl3000]

How did u unscrew sensor from the top and pull it from back most people unscrew a nut in the back of sensor to separate from valve stem and pull it up from front

[@gregpavitt309]

I put the tire down underneath the back of my trailer hitch on my truck and use a scissor jack between the tire and my trailer hitch to get the tire off the bead...

[@ericastanton2010]

is there anything special to inflate tire. can i just go to any gas station and fill up with air to reseal the bead?

[@jeremykahle2223]

you were killing me with your other hand so close to the bead when you were filling it back up with air. lol Please make sure you keep your hands clear of that area when setting the bead!

That was pretty slick! You have a lot of faith in the strength of your siding lol

If your just going to put a regular valve stem back in why not just leave the old stem sensor in or install new sensors for about 40 bucks for all 4?

@@m.kastro591 Thanks for asking, but actually, I merely used another KZbin video to learn how to disable the wires under the dash. I really don't need the alert system because I check my tires often. But this looks doable even 2 years later.

[@donaldmorrison7830]

I don't get the concept here. Was the TPMS leaking? If not then why not leave it alone if you're just going to replace the TPSM with a ordinary valve stem. The light on your dash wont go out and if your state has inspections it won't pass.

[@SafetyThirdProps]

I don't know about his reasons, but I need to do this with my car's old set of stock rims so I can install the sensors on my new ones.

If its a programmable TPMS you now have the valve in, how are you going to programme it?

Local tire shop wants $65 just for one tpms sensor that I can buy on amazon for under $15. I hate being hosed.

[@Darkness-ie2yl]

same here

[@fatherguidosarduchi5204]

But you don’t have the TPMS anymore. You just defeated the purpose of the system. Why? If your temp gauge sending unit went out would you just disconnect it so you cant see the problem? Jeez!!!!!!

[@samuelmedina5700]

wouldn't removing the TPMS sensor cause the tire light to go on, on the dash board?

[@AdamJames.]

Yes, but you can add or program the new tpms sensor.

[@eyvazheydarli]

Have you tried that trick on BMW’s run flat tyres? No chance

[@kato2182]

no way it can be that easy my tire shop said i had to go buy new ones and each one was like 80$ and if they tried to remove them they would break 100% of the time i just saw you remove it with such ease im so mad

[@Darkness-ie2yl]

they do love the scam

[@helmiautoparts4357]

I have e39 bmw, can I install TPMS on it? It will working and show msg on screen?

[@bindig1]

Now if there was a way to disable the tire pressure warning light on the dash, this would be perfect

[@jldude84]

Great video assuming your sensor is mounted on a steel stem with a nut that can be easily removed...the rubber stem mounted sensors are slightly more difficult and annoying and can't be reused from what I understand requiring a $10+ rebuild kit per wheel.

[@straighttalk7874]

You see the tire shops are making a killing off of us because most TPMS are really cheap & they have the equipment to break your tire so they can do this in seconds while charging us $50-$80 a tire. Take out the TPMS, & you'll never need to get ripped off again!!! I'm just saying. 😫+🤬 could=🤗

[@The_Charlatan]

Without special equipment -. -

[@wrenchgearsadventures]

Ok, so I'm wondering why you are even doing this. Was the TPMS leaking air, or did it have a bad batt? The great majority of vehicles will turn on a low tire pressure light on the dash if the batt goes dead in a TPMS. By changing it over to a regular valve stem, the computer still isn't getting a signal from the wheel, so the light will be on. There is no advantage in changing over to a regular valve stem unless the TPMS is leaking air. I thought you were going to show how to do what you did, and then show how to permanently turn the light off on your dash indicator. I don't get what this was for.....

[@roberttretola8263]

This videos propose was to show a person how to avoid going to a tire shop and paying them $20 or more for the same exact service you can do at home with simple tools. The video was only made to show you how to change a valve stem without going to the tire shop, nothing more, nothing less. This video has helped me out a lot. I honestly had no idea what to do, and after watching this video, I have a better understanding of how to break the bead of a tire on a rim. I needed to replace the valve stem on my TPMS sensor, it cracked right above the valve and I can't put air inside the tire, instead of taken the tire to my local tire shop and getting raped with high cost, the tricks in this video really has gave me an idea what is needed to do this job at home. It sounds like you need to do more research to fine the video for your certain job you need done, this video isn't it.

[@christopherneher3188]

You are a dingleberry Mr Wrenchgear.. No doubt about it. The video stated how how to change out a sensor in the headline. and the video clearly showed how to change out a sensor without taking it to the tire shop why in the hell would someone want to change out a tire sensor to a regular valve stem just to look at the light all day long I got a suggestion on how to turn out your light out of your dash.. take a hammer and beat the hell out of it if that doesn't work try it again...

[@makaylahschubring8936]

I was told my sensors was corroded and needed to be replaced which is why I looked this up. (They were going to charge $44 per sensor!)There's a reason to replace them.. sure there is many more!

[@toneykitts1698]

Yeah, not for sure either, I bought 4 Sensors, took them to Walmart they installed them for free. I buy my tires and add road service to tires, so Walmart just installed them for free and wrote it was covered under road service.

[@YT-User1013]

All tires and rims are not the same. I just broke beads and there is no way this would have worked on my tires. 265/70R15. I used a scissor jack under a truck frame and it was difficult.

[@JoseLopez-u9r]

😂I find this funny why! Why did you take it out!? Because light was on? Now it will permanently be on so solved nothing… waste of time and no tire shop will do this because it’s a safety issue. But more power to ya!

So much for not braking the tyre bead. Since that is what he is doing. Only way to get access to the sensor is to brake the bead

[@neek247]

if there is no tpms sensor on the tire will a tire stem like this rotate around when trying to twist the cap off? I know i have a tpms sensor issue and only 1 of my tires stems will twist around in circles and Im wondering if that is why, there is no leaking or anything; Im just curious bc I bought the car used and I use an alternate way or monitoring the pressure in the tires from something I bought off amazon but if its only 1 that needs to be replace I would rather do that lol

Did you put in a non-TPMS valve stem? If so, won't the computer sense this and the low air pressure warning light always be on? Doesn't that TPMS have to be in there if it was in from the factory?

[@2FTermination]

Thank you for putting this video together, really useful!

[@west_park7993]

the soap and water made a magic. it broke the seal easily. i used my towing bar of the car for support. i tied the 4x4 beam with a rope, and this way the 4x4 was always tight against the pivoting point. i dropped my old sensor inside. extraction: using a short piece of a garden hose attached to a strong shop vacuum cleaner. how do you inflate it, if the rubber tire does not touch the metal rim. all the air goes out easily. yes i know the trick with the starter fluid and i am not going there.

And why would you do that? The TPMS is Bluetooth and sends out your VIN to receivers everywhere. The man now knows where you were and what day/time.

[@VideoNOLA]

No one ever says WHY you "have to" remove the air valve stem.

[@OGukulele]

If you don't remove the valve core, it's very difficult to compress the tire enough to break the bead loose. You could have an assistant depress the valve instead to allow air to escape, but removing the valve core is very easy.

Ok but the warning light is still on.
