Install New TPMS Sensor DIY Without Needing Rebalance

[@darrinfaulkner8911]

I paid someone to put my new sensors in & did not know I needed the #s off each sensor for programming. I now have to get in each wheel. You saved me having to spend more money. This video made my day. Thx

[@bent.cyclist]

You can probably get Discount Tire/America's Tire to use their tool to read the ID being broadcast from each of the sensors without breaking them down. It would only take them 5 minutes, and they might do it for $5 in the tip jar. I have a relatively inexpensive TPMS relearn tool from Autel that does this, so I'd fully expect any tire shop to have the capability.

[@Iplum4food]

@@bent.cyclist I took my car to Discount Tire & they did it for free. I gave the Dude a $20 tip after. Thank you so much for your info.

[@recorobertos]

As a car mechanic, I have to say that this was a great job well done! 😊

[@GabesHacks]

Thanks!

[@THETOPGLOCK]

Definitely using this method to do the other 3 on my wife’s car. Discount tire did one for me last night at $40 and I provided the sensor. They basically used this method but on the machine. They only broke one bead and didn’t rebalance. Just put 1k in tires on the car 3 months ago and still no break from them.

[@GabesHacks]

I hope it works out for you 👍

[@trssho91]

Good video, just a small tip... if you have a hard time with the tire sealing on the bead you can use a ratchet strap around the outside of the tire...when you tighten the strap it will push both sides of the bead outwards. :)

[@GabesHacks]

That's a great idea!

[@Hennessey_and_smoke]

Canadians. Love this upload. Anyone disliked has never broken a bead on a tire. So easy. Sure you can take it in to a shop, but why not do it yourself?

[@Fun4GA]

If you chalk the tire and rim, you could completely dismount the tire and remount it to it's original position - so no rebalancing required. Good video!

[@sovietcomrade7733]

Actually you need to rebalance it anyway.his wheels are unbalanced here. This will wear out the bearings and ball joints faster. Yeah, it's gonna be like 5000 dollars to repair a mistake made to save like 50 dollars

[@GabesHacks]

It's difficult to put the whole tire on in the same position. If you use the chalk method and manage to get it back on in the same position and it's still balanced, then all the power to you. I think I'd rather keep one side on. And don't listen to José. If you replace one sensor with another using the method I showed, the wheels will still be balanced, like I discussed at 2:17. I know because I've done it. He hasn't.

[@jeremyspecce]

I never would have thought of doing this myself but now i'm at least considering it. I think the sensors i'm getting are the rubber kind that snap in so i'lll have to figure that out, but at least I have some confidence that i might be able to break and re-seat the bead.

[@dlitedbaby]

Good video to the point and the tip about all season tires and stiffness is great. I often remove the valve core and use rubber hose over the valve stem and air gun for extra air volume. Then with the tire on its side push and pull rim center in and out by hand, just to catch the bead. If that fails use a ratchet strap or twist a rope around the tire that usually makes it catch the bead! Thank you for your video

[@jp3npt]

Really nice demo and camera work, Gabe.

[@flutetubamorg]

Truth be told, where I am, buying the stupid sensor is the expensive part. 45 bucks. Then costco will do the replacement, and rebalance for $16. But I have also lived where it's a good damn idea to know how to do this kind of thing on your own. Hey, do yall remember when we just sort of looked at our tires and checked the pressure every now and then instead of having a TPMS warning light nagging us? Those were the good ole days! Good video Gabe's Hacks

[@GabesHacks]

Yeah.... if it wasn't for that light on the dash and my OCD, I might just ditch them. I just don't like features on my car not working the way they're supposed to. And y'never know, maybe one day it'll actually come in handy.

[@elmeromero1794]

This is awesome I broke one of my tpms valve stems and ordered a new one on eBay and was going to pay $30 to a tire shop to install it!

[@erkme73]

The only thing I would caution is if you have existing TPMS sensors, you probably want to break the bead 180 degrees from the TPMS sensor. As the tire starts to come down off the rim, it'll snap the transmitter of the old sensor off of the stem, at drop into the tire. That is a BEATCH to fish out of there with rim still inside the tire. Ask me how I know...

[@GabesHacks]

Oh boy... thanks for sharing!

[@stevenkerwin4041]

Run it. IMO, a little junk in the tire isn't gonna harm anything.

[@peterhawth]

Great video. I just paid $25 to get 1 wheel done, and that was labor only. I wish I had seen this video first! I’ll be sure to try this when my next sensor dies.

[@DesertGardenPrepper]

you're a pretty smart guy. i enjoyed watching the way you work, and i will probably do this .

[@jeniferdiamond7723]

Huge help thank you, the trick to pop the tire off the rim is great. Also like that you are using same sensor I have on my car. Would like to add for people like me who already have sensor in tire to pop the tire off the rim on the opposite side of the the valve stem so not to damage the sensor.

[@tinkerbell69714]

I knew there just had to be a cheaper way to replace my tire sensors. Damn shop wants to charge me $480 for replacement of (4) tire sensors. After I just purchased a brand new set of tires. He claims to be giving me a discount. Damn 🤡s…. Great video!! Thank you for sharing💋

[@GabesHacks]

Yeah, that's silly, but unfortunately not uncommon.

[@olenaerhardt7725]

@7:33 Thank you for showing about the needle. I usually used a wooden shim to prevent the sensor fm/rotation on torquing. I don't have that needle, but try to use a small Allen wrench. It was also useful information about balancing. If to add air without Schrader Valve it will set the bead much easier, no need to step on it. When the bead is set, remove the hose, air goes out of course, install the Schrader Valve and add air. Thank you again. It is a great film with a lot of useful tips.

The rest popped off right away. I drove the car for maybe 10 mins before the computer picked up on the new sensors and automatically updated.

Excellent DIY presentation! Thank you!

[@personperson9591]

Awesome! Bought a used car, a few weeks later one of the tpms stopped working, can’t program it but the others are fine so I know it’s just the sensor going bad/battery died, and while the tires will need to get replaced sometime soon, that’s likely several months away, so might just be going this route. Not sure some of the negative comments here, guess that’s KZbin for ya, but the video was great, immensely helpful and straightforward.

[@GabesHacks]

Just be aware that you may need to teach your car the new sensor. Some cars automatically learn new sensors, but some don't. So you'll have to look into that for your car. I go into that in more detail in my other video that I linked to in the description of this one.

Good info. The dealership told my daughter she needs special tires for her Envoy thanks to your video, I see the device is in the rim and has nothing to do with the tires. Thanks.

[@GabesHacks]

That's a new one! I've never heard of "needing" special tires. The service manual for my van says you need special rims to use TPMS, but that's only because the special rims have weights built in to offset the weight of the sensor, but that doesn't really mean you can't use normal rims.

Nice how to clip as I take in refresher before doing four. Saw one similar lesson where guy used a scissor jack under a rear car trailer hitch, and maybe a block of wood, to break the tire bead. Got a very reasonable quote on phone from local tire shop to reprogram my new tpms numbers into my car computer, after I install then myself; planning to photo the units I install, and have good record of each number on each of them, and which tires those numbers went to, to make for an easier tire shop update. Wish I knew those units have above a 10 year life expectancy before my last tire change, because I would of done this at last tire change, if I had known that. ... Thanks for clip :+)

@@danielmoffett8595 Even if the sensors were included, $600 is ridiculous. While $30 per tire for only installation is a little more reasonable, it's still a bit of a money grab. It would take one guy about a half hour to do all 4. If you're willing to pay for it, maybe at least find a place that will just charge you their regular hourly shop rate for the time it actually takes, rather than a flat rate.

[@danielmoffett8595]

@@GabesHacks if you've already got all your wheels off and lined up ready to go it MIGHT only take a half hour. A mechanic's time starts as soon as the car drives through the door. That includes jacking the car up, taking all for wheels off, doing the complete change-out of the sensors, remounting the wheels on the car, then lowering the car off the jack (and shop rates are typically $100 to $120/hour). Your video took over 11 minutes, for ONE wheel, that was already off the car sitting ready at your "hacked" (and I don't mean hacked in a good way) bead breaker. All 4 in a half hour? I think not. If you think you can, do a video of you doing ALL for starting when the wheel are still on the car and ending when the wheels are back on the car, AND the sensors are all relearned.

To balance the wheel, use two weights, from both sides of the rim, opposite to the sensor. Measure the distance from center of the sensor to the edge of the rim on the sensor's side. Divide the difference in weight between old and new valve (23 grams in this case) on width of the rim and multiply it on received distance to the center of sensor. You got weight of the balance for OPPOSITE to the sensor side. Subtract it from 23 grams - you got weight for side of sensor. Obviously, shorter distance requires of the heavier portion. In case the sensor would be positioned at middle, weights would be 50% of 23 grams for each side. However, if old valve is heavier, than new one, balancing weights supposed to be placed at valve. STATIC balancing would work with a single weight. DYNAMIC balancing requires two of them.

You can also get a similar response by just simply moving the weight away from the sensor a bit. For every 1/4 oz the sensor weighs, move the weight the distance of the clamp holding it to the rim away from the sensor. Usually that provides sufficient compensation for any weight difference. But ultimately, you may just have to have the tires re-balanced anyway.

My respond strictly complies with Mechanics. Many ways are possible. You can use a rod scale, with length of the rod, equal to width of the rim and hang the rod in the same distance from its edge, as the sensor is. Of course, the scale must be balanced, when idle. Balance such a scale with 23 grams of sand. You will get balancing weights for each side.

Great Advice, but it's bead sealer. Soap remains slippery after sealing, and tire may rotate on the rim, causing weight balance issue. Bead Sealer goes on slippery, but dries to be like rubber.
