No you leave the tire on the rim. It will still retain it's shape even with no air pressure inside. First you take the plug file, it's like an awe that has rough edges and slide it in and out of the hole. That roughts up the hole. Next you take a 4" piece of rubber cord and slide it through the second plug tool. Kind of like a hook on the end and you push the rubber cord into the hole. It folds in half as you push it in. The cord is soft rubber with some twine in it. It will mold itself into the hole and essentially create a plug.
no need to remove tire or valve stem. No impact to tpms. I've used this method over the years on several tires BUT have not had the chance to try it our on a RFT but the general concept should remain the same.
There's probably some videos on Youtube that can do a much better job than I in regards to explaining the process. I can't access youtube at the moment tho...
