The two centre spheres do the most work when in 'normal' mode so they can have a shorter life than the corner ones. My experience has mainly been with XM's but I think the set up is similar. If they are flat changing them will make a dramatic difference.

If your car has an in tank pump the easiest way is to disconnect the feed to the filter, place it in a receptacle or extend it and do so then just switch the ignition on.

If your car originally had TPMS valves but then the system was disabled then all you will need is the valves. Then you will need to have the system re-enabled and then the valves need to be paired to the car. This is something that the dealer can do.
