Tire Pressure Sensor

I did a search but did not find the answer.
Do you mount the TPS in the wheel before you put the tire on or tire on the wheel before you install the sensor?

I put the back side of the tire on first then reach in put the TPS in. That way I cut down 50% of damaging it.

You are 100% correct. This is how it should be done.

Well guys, every way is covered. My tech put the tire on completely first, then tire changer had arm that pushed sidewall down to get sensor in.... Reason,last time tire rim moved sensor when mounting, o-ring moved out of position, and damaged sensor when tightening to stop air leak... New sensor followed..
