  • Looks like a lot of people are misunderstanding the point of this tool. It's not to replace a broken tpms sensor, it's to replace the top portion of the sensor where the air goes into the tire. If your tpms sensor is faulty, then yes you'd need to replace it as a unit. However, many times it's the top portion that breaks off and you can't fill up the tire with air because the air hose won't latch onto it and push on the stem valve and let the air in. This is where this tool kit helps.
  • I had a broken aluminum TPMS stem because of a steel valve cap that did not want to come off. I watched this video. It made sense. I read many discouraging posts from simpletons that don't know what they're talking about. Was not deterred. Purchased the kit. Followed the directions. It was very easy. TPMS valve stem repaired. Has held the exact same amount of air now for over two weeks without losing a single PSI. Repaired TPMS sensor works as intended without having to be reprogrammed or replaced. Cost of this kit was $40. Kit will repair two TPMS valve stems. Cost of replacing TPMS with an oem unit and having it programmed from the local dealership would have cost over $150. Highly recommended.
  • My proctologist changed the sensor on all 4 of my tires by removing it through the stem and reinstalled 4 new ones without even losing any of the air in the tires, he's gonna rebuild my engine through the exhaust pipe next weekend
  • I put tape over the flat tire indicator light. Quick and easy!
  • Can I only conduct this repair at 3:00 or 9:00 o'clock? Because those times are really kinda inconvenient for me.
  • This video was spot on in my opinion. I just broke my stem at the car wash and thought I was going to have to replace the TPMS. Thank you very much!
  • This video would make a great "Saturday Night Live" skit.
  • I fixed mine by completely ripping them all out, and installing valve stems.
  • After years of dealing with this in NY there are very limited cars this will work for. Most of those have full stem replacements .
  • You will get much more than you thought you were getting a bargain for, replace stems completely and move on, you'll be glad you did!
  • people, listen, it does nothing to the sensor. its for a broken or salt deteriorated stem as the photo at the beginning shows. it replaces the stem not the sensor. a broken stem will make your pressure sensor malfunction and can also leak very slow.

    This made me cry a little, you can get just the valve stem at some places that attach to the TPM device w/ a screw, but some TPMS devices do not get screwed on they’re like snap in or con already snapped in. Working in the car industry I wish I could educate people on small things like this, it’s easier than it looks.

    I can’t think of any time this would be a smart idea
  • I just ordered 4 new stems with the sensor don’t want the headache.
  • If you always use a valve core stem depressor and never bottom it hard, you can avoid damaging most stems. Maybe you'll get some curb damaged ones, but getting them drilled and tapped straight could be tricky.
  • This looks like a good tool. I have a sensor on my Jeep replaced because the stem broke from salt corrosion. The dealer charged me about 200.00. Soon after, a second stem broke off a different tire. I wasn't paying another 200.00 so I had all the sensors replaced with regular brass/rubber stems and just live with the TPM light always on. If I had seen this kit sooner, I would have tried their repair.
  • I don't think I would own a vehicle that had these sensors, they look like more trouble than they are worth. I'm old school, every month check your tyre pressures, easy as that.
  • I can't believe what I just watched, but I checked into a related repair tool. I have a rod knock and sent for a repair tool. What I got was a set of hearing protectors they use for gun shooting. Now the rod knock has gone away. Order in the next 10 minutes and they will send a second one free. Just pay a separate fee. Lifetime warranty and money back guarantee if you can just find them again. What a deal.
