swapping TP Sensors
if i deflate two wheels/tires - is it simple enough to 'pull the sensor
from inside the tire space on the rim' and 'push it into place on the new wheel/tire?
with out air in the tire, can you push tire back, lift it up enough to get your hand in there to remove it, or do i need to visit a shop?
Cheers

If your talking about EMT's, go to a shop, the sidewall is extremely stiff, it just will not work IMO
I use Discount Tire, they have the best equipment around here. They are fairly reasonable too

A trip to the tire store is in order.

Best to get it done at a shop that has the right tools. I had some sensors swapped on my car a few months back - cost was about $20 each including checking the balance again.
