CAUTION: Tire and valve stem position is critical to prevent damage to the TPMS sensor when using a paddle-type bead separator.
CAUTION: Do not allow the tire beads to move beyond the wheel mid-plane when breaking the beads, damage to the TPMS sensor may occur.
NOTE: Some machines may have a nylon roller bead separator at the 12 o'clock position instead of the paddle-type bead separator at the 3 o'clock
position.
3. Place the wheel and tire assembly on the turntable of the tire machine with the valve stem between the 5 and 6 o'clock positions and the machine
arm at the 12 o'clock position and dismount the outer bead from the wheel.
NOTE: Index-mark the valve stem and wheel weight positions on the tire.
4. Reset the wheel and tire assembly on the turntable of the tire machine with the valve stem between the 5 and 6 o'clock positions and the machine
arm at the 12 o'clock position and dismount the inner bead from the wheel.
5. Inspect the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) sensor and the cradle and strap for damage, install new parts as necessary.
-
For information on removal and installation of the TPMS sensor, See See: Sensors and Switches - Wheels and Tires/Tire Pressure
Sensor/Service and Repair/Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensor Removal/Installation.
-
When installing a new wheel, reuse the TPMS sensor from the previous wheel if possible. The TPMS will not have to be trained if the sensor
is reused. The new wheel will not come with a sensor strap. A sensor strap kit will need to be ordered with the new wheel.
Assembly
CAUTION: Damage to the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) sensor may result if the tire mounting is not carried out as instructed.
