The whole thing is metal from the outside so I assume the green ones. The part where the cap goes is not gold either, so I doubt its the rubber ones.

then it will be covered under warranty, just take the wheel to a gm dealer and they will fix it.

don't take the part with the cap in. i've replaced a ton that people have lost the other half for whatever reason and was still covered under warranty.

Hmmm... Good call. All 4 of the damn caps won't come off though and the car is scheduled to go in on tuesday for other **** too. Guess I'll have to cancel that and just do one rim at a time. Thanks for the heads up

one thing you can do is try tightning them just a little bit to break the corrosion loose a bit and they should come off rather good after that. don't use alot of force tightning them though as you can potentially break them off. do this at your own risk though

lol I tried that on the first one and the whole thing snapped... I barely put any pressure on it.

I guess I'm gonna break them off and take them in one by one... Better than spending a **** load on sensors...

UPDATE: I went into the dealer today with just my rim and he told me he has to have the whole car. So I came home completely prepared to break the other 3 sensors just because I still have roadside assistance so I could have had it towed. Surprisingly only one other one broke, the 2 on the drivers side just came off. So I took the car in and they replaced the 2 on the passenger side under warranty :
