Default Retrain Sensors

I need to retrain my sensors and would like to know how big of a magnet do I need? Most likely I need to go buy one, but would like to know what and where. Would a harddrive work, I got plenty of those laying around :)

Does not take a very powerful magnet to retrain sensors. I used small 5 LBS magnet, had laying around the house. Put magnet to side of valve stem on rim.

I bought a 3 x 1 inch rectangular magnet at Radio Shack for $.99 and worked well.

Being myself I went and got the biggest magnet from Office Depot, probably a 2lbs and I didn't get it to work. So i got a 35lbs from Home Depot and it worked great, Took about 13 seconds while holding it on the first wheel and the horn chirped as I was giving up :). They are all reading now! The little magnet may have worked, I didn't hold it there for that long.
