Today I'm going to show you how to Replace TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) sensors at home without a tire machine. Over time the TPMS sensors can go bad or the batteries can go dead. I'm going to show you how to replace them at home without going to a tire store. The way that I change the TPMS sensors is I use the emergincy jack or a bottle jack to break the bead on the tire to gain access to the TPMS sensor. Once the tire is loose on the rim you can reach inside the wheel and remove the sensors. I will also show you the basics of programming your new sensors so you will not have any TPMS fault lights on your dash.

Tools I used in this video:
Valve Core Tool: amzn.to/3qwu0V8
Scissor Jack if your car does not come with one: amzn.to/34LrYrD
Bottle Jack will work as well but much taller: amzn.to/3mJ0qJu
Bead Breaker Tool: amzn.to/2M2i0LL
TPMS Programming/Cloning tool: amzn.to/2KzJBUl
TPMS Cloning Tool: amzn.to/3pmkpiT
TPMS Sensors Universal Fit Metal Stem and Clone-able: amzn.to/3hj2dEb
TPMS Sensors Universal Fit Rubber Stem and Clone-able: amzn.to/3mVgYhG

  • Dude I wish everybody made their videos like you. Straight to the point with no BS talk. You get an A+ bro. 👍🏾
  • @pierogi210
    Such a great video. No BS talk, no annoying music. Straight to the point.

    My TPMS broke while pumping so I had to replace it, went to the dealer and asked how much, they said £150 to replace a reset the computer + £30 (TPMS) I thought it was a joke, I bought the TPMS and asked my local garage, he did the job for £10 and saved myself over £100, don't unerestimate you local garage guys, great video, very informative
  • Mark your wheel and tire and any balance weights, so that if the tire moves, you can reorient it in the correct spot. If the tire is too stiff to seat the bead easily, a ratchet strap tightened around the tread should push the beads apart enough to help it seat.
  • @michaellowe3665
    An additional tip... If you can't get the bead to seat, you can wrap the circumference of tire with a rachet strap and tighten it to cause the bead of the tire to spread outward against the rim. It is almost a necessity with small tires like on lawn mowers.
  • Great video. To the point, no BS, no annoying music. This is what Youtube is all about.
  • @qpwodkgh2010
    Great video. Direct, to the point and no fluff with some great tips. This is gold.
  • @dougwachs
    Talk about an 'aha!' moment... This is a brilliant way to break the bead on a tire - Wish I had known this years ago - I bought a set of tire spuds - scratched the paint on the rim and now it leaks slowly! THANKS!
  • Just as happy to go full old school. After finding out the cost of replace for sensors, went back to just checking the pressure like used to be the norm. Zero cost.
  • Finally a video that literally answered all my questions about the tire sensors! Packed with info here, thanks bro!
  • @rogerwilco4257
    Jeep Renegade tire sensors are $85 each. This is a master class on sensor replacement. Thank you so much. I truly do not have the skill set to change them batteries. To replace the 4 sensors on my Jeep the cost was $650. I'll just get a bloody tire gauge. :D
  • @danielbrisk2884
    You just blew my mind!!! The last time I had these done, unnamed repair franchise charged $95/tire. Now that my car is 12 yrs old w/500,000 miles on it (you heard me) I'm trying this out!!! THANK YOU
  • @willking7799
    Worked like charm!! I replaced all 4 sensors in my summer tires. First one was the toughest, then I figured it out. The other three went quick!! Thanks for the info
  • @user-yr1uq1qe6y
    Thank god it was 11mm. If it was 10mm this video would have never been finished, he’d still be looking for it.
  • @leoamaya1818
    That’s pretty slick, thank you for sharing,popping the bead off with out a tire machine = priceless 💯
  • @bob1498
    suggestion- instead of using WD 40 on the tire bead, use a generous rub of dishsoap. It not only lubes the bead and wheel but improves the seal of the tire.
  • time saver and most important money saver, i like seeing young people doing work on their bars Thanks RG
  • @Greatfulone
    Very helpful! Thank you so much. Thank you for covering the exceptions and gotchas we may run into. One of the best how-tos I watched.
  • @billmimms
    Big, big thanks on the video. You did not make me cringe while watching the video. I appreciated your composure/ delivery. One video I watched showed a guy driving his truck up a two by four that was propped up on top of the side wall. It was definitely a WTF moment. I doubt I will be doing what you did, but I APPRECIATED the fact that you showed a way to get the job done. Again, thanks.
