tire pressure sensor install questions

I'm installing new sensors on spare rims I bought for my C6Z06. Okay, on the surface this looks like a no brain'r to install a tire pressure sensor. Stick it through the hole and tighten. Is there anything else I should do such as putting oil on the rubber gasket? Is there a specific torque or just tighten till snug plus 1/2 turn?

Good luck!

If you need a tool to activate the sensors, let me know.
