Default 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?

Nope.. only one o ring (never reuse an old one).. you are good to go. Look up the torque for the nut though, doesn't take much.

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.
