Removal (SRT8 Models)
- Remove tire and wheel assembly from vehicle.
- Dismount tire from wheel following tire changer manufacturer's instructions while paying special attention to the following to avoid damaging the pressure sensor:
- When breaking the tire bead loose from the wheel rim, avoid using the Bead Breaker in the area of the sensor. That includes both front and rear beads of the tire. See Fig 3.
- When preparing to dismount the tire from the wheel, carefully insert the mounting/dismounting tool 280° +/- 10° from the valve stem, then proceed to dismount the tire from the wheel. Use this process on both the upper and lower tire beads.
- Using a thin-walled socket, remove special nut retaining sensor to wheel. While removing nut, hold pressure against rear of metal valve stem to keep valve stem from pushing rearward, which could damage antenna strap.
