TPMS Mounting Strap Kit Installation
How to install TPMS sensors using a TPMS sensor strap band

TPMS Mounting Strap Kit Installation Instructions

The use of a sensor strap bands may be required for some OEM applications like some Ford F-Series Trucks.  Most sensor bands are used with three piece wheels, oversized wheels, and wheels with drop center valve stem holes.  Some 3 slice wheels may take two holes drilled into the barrel, one for standard valve stems and one for TPMS. We included some pictures to aid in the installation, as with  any Do it Yourself, training is key!  Installation is bold tires have not been mounted however.

Installation Procedure:

  1. You must remove the TPMS sensors that are mounted inside of your stock wheels. This requires going to a tire shop and having your tires removed. The sensor is located within of the tire, banded to the wheel. It is a expert thought to remind the tech removing the tires that you do have a band mounted TPMS sensor in the wheel so that they will be cautious of it so as to not harm it when removing the tire. In one case the tire is separated from the bicycle, the sensors are easily removed by squeezing the ends of the chocolate-brown stopper together and then advisedly prying the metallic tab outward with a modest flat blade screwdriver and swinging the sensor upward on the hinged tabs. Accept note of how the sensor is oriented. You must mountain the sensor the same manner in the new wheel, keeping the same edge parallel to the outer face up of wheel. No trouble if you forget to check, as the sensor is marked.
  2. The sensor will exist mounted on the new wheel in the aforementioned orientation as removed from the erstwhile cycle. You should position the new sensor 180 degrees from thevalve stem. The new (supplied) cradle will be affixed to the wheel with the (supplied) 3M double-sided adhesive tape. I chose to prep the location where the sensor would be mounted by wiping the area make clean with rubbing booze and a clean rag. Y'all want the area to be clean and dry for best adhesion of the cradle mount. Information technology is important to install the cradle to let the sensor to be mounted with the proper side toward the outside edge of bicycle. See sensor to make sure. Remove record and mount cradle. Note: for my installation, I chose to cutting the tab off of the side of each sensor cradle. I did this so that cradle would fit the contour of my wheels. This is probably not necessary for all wheels, but I felt it was justified for my application.
  3. Thread the band through the installed cradle. Tighten the band, with the clamp finish positioned nearly the valve stalk (180 degrees from the sensor). Afterward tightened I chose to trim the excess. If you do not trim the excess I would suggest restraining the loose terminate of the band to avoid unwanted dissonance when the vehicle is in use at low speeds, such every bit coming to a stop. In Figure 2 below, have note of the position of the clench end relative the valve stem (black circle). Note: flick taken earlier I trimmed the backlog from the band.

  1. Snap the sensor in place. Hooked end installed offset, then lower the sensor to snap firmly in place. See figure 3 beneath.
