TPMS issues

[cgalpha08]

So one of my tpms is malfunctioning and its causing my rear drivers side tire to leak. Can these be replaced without unmounting the tire or do i need to take it to a shop?

You need to unmount the tire to remove/replace the tpms.

Ive got a tpms question too, how much is a new sensor? One in my tire is bad and needs to be replaced

You could technically only break the bead on the front side of the tire to replace the sensor. I have an manual tire machine I would never use it to change the tires on aluminum rims. But I could break the bead and swap the sensor without scratching the rim.

Just got a new set of 285 Bridgestone Duelers (OEM) and I am putting my spare into the rotation this time. They are being discontinued so if I want my spare to match on my next set I will have to buy 5 anyway so why not use it up. I just orded a sensor and grommet from gmpartshouse. The sensor is $50.00 and the grommet is $4.99.

If the valve is leaking, I would start by taking it out and cleaning it or replacing it. Worth the $1 to replace it before messing with changing the whole sensor.
