Tire Pressure Sensor Question
How do the tire pressure sensors mount to the rim? Does anyone have pics of this posted somewhere?
Is it easy to take a set of tire pressure sensors off of wagon wheels and mount them to OEM Z06 wheels?
Thanks

Re: Tire Pressure Sensor Question (NassauBlue98)
The sensor is one piece with the valvestem. The nut you see on the stem outside of your wheel is what's holding the stem and sensor to the wheel.
So yes, you simply remove the nut, slide the sensor out of the hole, put on a new O-ring, insert into new Z06 wheel, and tighten the nut. Obviously, you will need to remove the tires or at least break the beads to get the sensors out of your old wheels.
This is what the sensor looks like:
