Default TPMS HELP NOW

ok so i just bought the whole tpms setup from american muscle.

Im trying to put them on my new rims now, there tutorial sucks ***, and they can't include instructions.

How do you get the sensors onto the clamps. I have the clamp attached to the rim. I can not get the sensor on the holder bracket. All the brackets are doing are bending. They are not snapping into place as american muscle says.

What the hell do i need to do to get these on there.

They are supposed to snap right in place one end to the clips, and the other end through the existing hole in sensor itself.

You most likely need to take out the brown plastic piece and reinsert it when you have it snapped in. Be careful, that small plastic piece is fragile.

nevermind. I figured the puzzle out. American muscle sends you the sensors already mounted on the cradle, and they send you an extra set of cradles incase your moving the sensors. I was actually trying to mount the sensor/cradle on another cradle, which is why this wasn't working for me.

Talk about tedious work. Just a tip to look for, is that if you ordered the whole kit from american muscle for the TPMS, that the sensors themselves will come premounted on the cradle that they sit on, and it will include an extra set of 4 cradles for if you just needed the re-use the stock sensors from stock tires.

But i'm now a master of them. I got the last one whipped together in like 5 minutes.

Also I believe AM lists in the install instructions to use a 8mm socket. It's actually 7mm that you need. Cut/clip the bands prior to tightening them and you will half the install time.
