Hi guys, How difficult is it to swap tpms sensors from 1 set of wheels to another>? Are there any good tire shops in Queens NY that perform this service? Thanks

its very easy
:l
most shops who havent dealt with them much will be too scared to mess with them and could potentially break them if they have no clue
but an experienced shop know that u just simply have to break the bead then lower the portion where the sensor is and undo it
being careful not to drop the sensor into the tire or else u will have to remove the tire completely
...to put it simply
just ask them
it really isnt hard at all
