Info needed - Wheel sensor nut removal
I just bought a set of chrome valve stem caps and the accompanying chromed valve stem covers/sensor nuts.
Anyone know if the tires will deflate when I back off the stock sensor nuts prior to installing these. I have all the required gear, i.e. (low profile jack, air compressor, etc.), if the tires do deflate. Should I have each valve stem at the bottom of the wheel before removing the stock sensor nuts?
Any tips or comments appreciated.

They're not going anywhere. They're held in there by 30+ lbs of air pressure, the nut just keeps the centrificle force of the wheel spinning from pulling them away and allowing a leak.
