Default Tire pressure sensor o-rings

Recall seeing a previous post mentioning what size o-rings to use as replacements when re-using your pressure sensors in new rims. Even mentioned that they can be purchased at Home Depot. I have been trying search to no avail today. Anyone recall this information.

thanks

Do these O-rings install on the inside of the wheel between the sensor and the inner wheel, or on the outside?

The blow up in the service manual doesn't really show it.

I swapped mine out when I changed my wheels. The O rings fit in a groove on the sensor (on my '98). You remove the sensor from the old wheel, replace the O ring and install the sensor on the new wheel. I think that the O ring style changed in later years however.
