Tire Pressure Sensor Washer Replacement

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Chevrolet Corvette. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

IMPORTANT: Before the tire is removed from the wheel, care must be given in the following areas to ensure the tire pressure sensor is not damaged upon tire dismounting.

Place the sensor's cap and valve on a dry clean surface after removal, the cap is aluminum and the valve is nickel plated to prevent corrosion and are not to be substituted with a cap or valve made of any other materiel.
When using the tire machine to separate the tire bead from the wheel, position the bead breaking fixture 90 degrees from the valve stem to ensure it does not interfere with the sensor.
When removing the tire from the wheel, ensure a tolerance is maintained between the tire machine fixture, or irons, tire bead and the sensor.
