TPS location

[Haywire]

Getting ready to change out the OEM tires [4400 miles and wasted] and going to do it myself. I know on car tires when you break the bead, you break them opposite of the sensor. Could some kind person inform me as to the location of the sensor on the wheel so I don't take the chance of damaging it when dismounting the tires? Thanx.

Well, if you'll accept the help from a not so kind person  :38: :lol_hitting:, it's by the air valve.

Here is a pic from Fred Harmon (kind person): http://www.pbase.com/fredharmon/image/123469287

Actually IIRC, the air valves screw into them. You could change out to 90 degree angle valves while it was apart if you wanted. (Murph sells them).

+1 on the 90 degree valves.  I plan to swap out a set at my next rubber replacement interval

Works for me, will get in an order for the 90 degree valve stems too. Thanx for the kind and not so kind replies  Hey, anybody tell you guys that you are the greatest!

90 degree valve stems are available here. These are the only ones that will work with the OEM TMPS sensors.
