So obviously the plan will be for you to remove whichever tire/wheel assembly whose sensor is not transmitting, and take the whole works to a tire savant who won't damage the tire or wheel and will use the proper tire lube (which is not liquid ruglyde or any liquid, instead, a very careful application of euro paste). With our tire machine, nothing metallic ever comes in contact with the wheel.

 

Do you have the proper torque wrench ? This is the one I use exclusively:
The generic $19.95 torque wrenches at Harbor Freight are not what we use.

 

OK, thanks.

 

Great. One thing we must refuse to do is take any step in the process for granted.
These are spectacular cars and lazy, sloppy, stupid, haphazard, rush sadly often times find their way into them. Letting moron millennials anywhere near them same thing. "Dude, it's a car dude."
We lost the second space shuttle crew because some moron chose to do a sloppy, careless job of attaching a small heat shield on the leading edge of a wing. "Dude, it's just a little heat shield, dude."
"Dude, torqueing lug nuts is overkill, dude."

 

 

The genius trolls are coming out of the woodwork !

 

Time for the resident trolls to provide Mackel with the solution they hoard.

 

How soon do we get past the space shuttle and move on to torque settings for the valve caps? I've just been doing "close nuff dude" ..

 

Hey Greg. ! have a special TORQUE TOOL to remove valve stem caps It is called "PLIERS They are readily available at auto and hardware stores ,not expensive?? Just trying to help everyone as best I can. Lorne

 

Mackel .. There is an "expected" 10 yr life span on TPM sensor batteries.. so you can play chase the sensor for the next year or so.. or just replace all 4 .. My local dealer wanted $35 to program in new sensor ID's on my coupe (I was sent free sensors to test from a vendor.. "wrong language" per the service tech)
Probably cheaper than the "must have" torque wrench.
Post 17 contains links to threads where this subject has been beat to death and put in a blender for smoothness.

 

Need more information.. 6" or 8" as the torque "feel" will vary due to the variable!

 

The ones I always carry in in my pocket for over 60 years are 3in SNAPON . Lorne

 

Good luck, Mackel.

 

How did we go from sensor replacement, to jack pads..What was that users name..

 

The wife just called for you, Jiffy Lube has a slot to get your crossie in.

 

Well, I hoped I might learn something here.
Not so.
(Second thought....I guess I did.)

 

One can thank the genius trolls who referred you to the inaccurate dribble of the past.
If you want to do it correctly in a manner that befits your spectacular Crossfire, you always have the option to PM.

 

This has got to be some record, 16 posts in a day and we never got passed the jack pads, torque wrench etc.
Your posts lead nowhere, and after reading your previous posts I expected no less on this one.

This was your last post prior to this thread.
I think that explains a lot.

 

You mean there is news breaking technological advances on an obsolete platform now? ROFLMAO

I'll check back later.. gotta go pick up my digital torque wrench from being calibrated .. have to do that monthly ya know!

 

Amazing to read you still don't have a life. Good job derailing Mackel with your worthless outdated dribble. Your calling in life is to troll this forum.
