How to replace the TPMS sensor from a tyre with minimal tools

In this video, you will see how to replace the TPMS sensor from a tyre without having large equipment, but with really minimal tools. The first step is to remove the wheel, then you need to let all the air out of the tyre by pressing a screwdriver on the valve. When all the air is out, take a jack and a piece of wood and place the wheel under the car: this way, you will remove the tyre from the rim (low-profile tyres and those for trucks have much sturdier sidewalls and will be more difficult). Now that the tyre is free, locate the sensor and remove it; some cars have bolts on the inside, but most are mounted only on the stem. When the sensor is free, be careful not to let it fall into the wheel as it will be difficult to retrieve. Now it's time to install the new sensors: you can find them, for example, on Amazon with the code B07V6YRFXG at a price of £26.55 each, with free delivery for Prime customers. Position it inside the wheel and secure it with its counter nut. A spray of WD-40 will help the tyre adhere better to the rim. Now reinflate the tyre, following the manufacturer's specifications. Once the vehicle is back on the ground, you need to initialise the sensor using an OBD reader: each sensor is numbered, and the reader will search for them, assigning the new sensor the position of the old one. If the sensor you are replacing has the same weight as the old one, there will be no need to rebalance the tyres. The YouTuber wants to point out that it is also possible to change the battery in the old sensor, but he preferred to replace it as he had already covered too many miles with the old one.
