A few quick TPMS questions
 
1) How easy is it to remove the OEM TPMS sensors yourself?
2) Are there any aftermarket valvestems that someone could link me to that would be easy to DIY install?
I have plenty of tools, but little experience with this particular subject.

it's in the wheel itself; unless you are mounting and balancing tires yourself, would just have the shop handle this.

would not be able to swap them from one wheel to another without dismounting the tire first.

Okay I wasn't born yesterday, I was well aware of that. I have lots of wheel/tire experience and I'm only asking for very specific experience. I'm not paying a shop to do something I can do myself. I'm selling the PSS off my stock wheels and they'll be exposed after that, I want to remove the TPMS myself and have a shop mount them to new wheels at a later date. Then I want to mount new valvestems to the stock wheels and either throw slicks on them or just sell them for dirt cheap.

Well...

It is actually recommended that you service the TPMS units every time you dismount tires. The service kit is Schrader part number 20032, and autozone sells them for $1.99 each (other places charge up to $10 each!!!).

The kit contains new seals, valves, and retaining nut/valve stem cover. Do this for your new rims to get a good seal.

Any tire shop should have normal valve stems for you to use on the rims you are getting rid of. There are no fitment issues...
