Default TPMS Removal

Hey guys, Is it easy to take out the TMPS out of our wheels? or do we have to take it to a wheel shop for them to take them out?

Be careful when getting tpms removed. If the o-ring gets damaged, you will get a slow leak. Most tire shops are aware of this, and they will try to sell you a rebuild kit to prevent problems. The rebuild kit probably isn't necessary if they are removed and re-installed properly, but the extra precaution for a little amount of money won't hurt.

Unless you have a tire mounting machine at home, I'd suggest you bring it to the pros.
