Abstract: A tool for installing a sensor within a valve hole of a wheel is provided. The tool comprises a body having a handle portion and a head portion. A hook element and an insertion element are each pivotably coupled to the head portion. The insertion element comprises a pocket adapted to receive the sensor and an alignment nib for aligning the sensor in the valve hole. The handle portion is pivotable via lever action when the hook element is engaged with an outwardly facing wheel surface, and the insertion element is engaged with a barrel of the wheel, thereby facilitating insertion of the sensor through the valve hole. When the sensor is fully seated within the valve hole, the insertion element further contacts an inwardly facing wheel surface, thereby preventing over-insertion of the sensor and signaling that the sensor is fully seated in the valve hole.
