Valve Stem Removal

TGel15 · 05-26-2017, 08:59 PM

I had the run flats de-mounted as I am trying to reuse the TPMS sensors from my stock wheels by transferring them onto my new setup to save me some money.

I am having trouble getting the valve stems/tpms sensors off of my stock wheels.

Do I just need a deeper socket that allows me to reach the bolt over the valve stem?

My current sockets do not reach and when I tried to use a wrench the angle was awkward and ineffective.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
