Sensor Question
does anyone have a picture of the complete sensor how it mounts into the rim? i received my new sensors for my 2000 and it has a O-ring on the base of the sensor, do i need another O-Ring for mounting?

Found this:
The o-rings (1 on each) go on the stem before you put it through the hole. The nut then gets screwed on.
there is a O-Ring already inbedded into the base of the sensor were the valve comes out of the base do I put another O-Ring over that one?

Tip, especially if you are using other than OEM rims. Get the same size "O" ring but a thicker one. Got mine at Ace. I was putting on aftermarket rims and found this tip just in case the valve holes were a little off. Worked great, no leaks in two years, and only cost a buck or so.
Only use one "O" ring, two might create an area to leak between them. I have a Y2k so the sensors are the same as yours.
