3.4 Re-mounting Tires After A Sensor Has Been Installed
Please read this section carefully and follow each step precisely to ensure you
do not damage the sensor when mounting the tire. If steps are not taken to
avoid the sensor located in the drop center well of the rim, it can be damaged
by tire beads as the tire is mounted.
3.4.1 Internal Tire Sensor Servicing
SmarTire
® TPMS tire sensors are designed to be serviceable if damage occurs
during the mounting or de-mounting process. Each sensor is mounted inside
a break-away cradle that is designed to absorb the impact of damage during
the tire mounting / de-mounting process. If damage occurs, the inexpensive
cradle will break instead of the tire sensor.
If a sensor cradle is damaged, it along with the mounting strap must be
replaced. Carefully remove the tire sensor from the damaged cradle, re-insert
it into a new cradle (Bendix part number 264.00228N), and then continue
the mounting process.
