TPMS-I have searched but still no difinitive answer
Before I start, Yes, I did search but didn't find a definitive answer...
I am buying a set of Rubi Takeoffs. The guy is taking the TPMS out of them to install into his new wheels/tires. I have TPMS in my wheels/tires. I am going to have to take my TPMS out of my wheels and put them into the takeoffs. I am going to try to sell my Painted Sahara wheels and tires without TPMS.
1) Is this possible?
2) How do I do it? Any write-ups?
3) How difficult is this going to be?
4) Can I do it myself, or am I going to have to go to a tire shop?
I am buying the takeoffs to save a little money so of course, I would rather do it myself.
Any and all suggestions greatly appreciated...

if u take all the air out and unseat the outside bead u should be able to get the sensor out.
i believe its an 11mm nut around the stem of the sensor outside... u will see it.
if u keep the inside bead seated so the tire doesnt turn u will not need to balance them, as the tire didnt move on the wheel which would throw the balance off.
to unseat the bead use ur knee on the tire and push down. if not u could use a deadblow hammer but watch the wheel obviously. dont use anything sharp or a screwdriver or anything like that.
once u put air back into it the bead will reseat.
