because of the wide variety in the valves and rim designs on the market. It might
be necessary to remove the wheel assembly from the vehicle in dual locations to
have proper access to the valve.
D)
Some dual wheels are assembled with the valves located in the same location.
This issue will restrict the installation especially on the alloy wheels with smaller
opening around the valves. Furthermore it will cause difficulties programming the
receiver unit since hand tool will activate both transmitters as they are side by
side.
