How to repair the TPMS valve stem

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video we can see how to repair the stems of TPMS valves, when the aluminum they are made of has corroded, without having to remove the tire or wheel. It can be done in a few minutes and does not require reprogramming or relearning of the sensor. However, this is not about repairing a broken or discharged TPMS sensor, but only replacing the top part, the one where air enters the tire. If the sensor is discharged, it cannot be repaired or recharged, and must be replaced: however, many times it is the top part that breaks and it is not possible to fill the tire with air because the air hose does not attach to it and does not push on the valve stem, letting air in.
