anyone know how to remove TPMS

Hi fellow G drivers
I was wondering does anyone know how to remove the TPMS on the OEM rims, reason I ask is that I am planning to get my rims refinished and would like to remove the TPMS from the rims.
I've did a search and did not find a solid answer.
If anyone know, please post here for others to know.
Thanks a bunch

I try that and the sensor itself started moving the same way and cracking, so I damaged a sensor I think.

I just paid the tire guys an $20 to take them off (but then install them on my new tires). Watching them it seemed like a PITA. Good luck.

My shop just removed one bead of the tire, unscrewed the valve stem and popped out the TPMS in about 2 minutes...

EDIT: One bead means peeling it back a bit, don't have to remove the whole thing. Save yourself time and money.

you have to remove the tire from the rim first.

Sensors comes out that way.

You cant pull the sensor through the hole. That fvcker is huge.
