you might see if you can locate one of those metal chrome valve stem caps that has the slotted nub on top for that very purpose. Even if you bought a new set of 4 cheapies in a blister pack it'd sure be cheaper than $25.



Do you realize what I am talking about? Have you recently worked on any rims with TPS? I get the feeling you really haven't.

If you have, then you'd know exactly what I am talking about as far as torquing them down to prevent stripping it out and damaging the TPS unit or getting messages on your monitor that your tires are low on air all of the time!

FYI- they make a screwdriver tool that properly torques the valve core into the TPS stem -something like 3-5 inch pounds. It has to be torqued to spec. It ain't like the old days when you just tightened the hell out of the core with the core installer screwdriver my friend!
