Has anyone done this job at home?
I'm considering buying this and these .
Opinions and advice would be appreciated.

 

I currently have no RDC fault codes or TPMS warning light, but I think the batteries in the TPMS sensors are weak based on these live data:

 

Maybe I'll try building one of these bead breaking tools using some scrap wood.

 

Just replaced both front ABS sensors on 2013 R56 N16 Base model Mini Cooper. Was getting a variety of different codes on OBD II reader. All they are is an allen screw and 2 wire blue harness that unplugs

 

Depending on the year & model, MINIs use one of two different approaches to detect low tire pressure and flats: (1) tire pressure readings sent to the RDC (tire pressure control module) from pressure sensors located in the four wheels (TPMS) or (2) circumferential wheel speed readings sent to the ABS-DSC control module from the four ABS wheel sensors (FTM).

My 2012 MINI uses approach #1. If your 2013 MINI lacks tire pressure sensors, then ABS wheel sensors are used to detect low tire inflation or flats.
