Umm, you'd definitely have to break the bead to get the sensor out.

Not a DIY in my opinion. Why not have the local tire shop do it? Mine charges about $60 for a TPMS sensor replacement.

Yep, that's pretty much all there is to it but get the right ones (like 8Vette7 said). Also, if one has went out, the others probably aren't too far behind. Why not just do em all at once and just forget about them for another 10 years? Why just replacing one? If cost is a factor, one of the popular replica wheel sellers has a set of 4 for $136 for your 2000. I know that several guys here on the forum also rebuild them and resell them as well.
