Do I need to remove the tires off the rims to replace the sensors and valve stem or can I get it done without removing the tire?

Tires off. Sensor is inside the wheel. Tires and wheels can be marked to avoid rebalancing.

If you just break the bead where the sensor sits you can wiggle your way to have it put on. However I would recommend rebalancing once you put them on since the weight of the sensors themselves are going to throw the wheel balancing off.

In most cases if you are replacing sensors, weight difference is insignificant and does not require rebalancing. If adding sensors then balancing is suggested.

I should have been more specific. If you are just swapping sensors no balancing required, but if you are adding them to wheels that just had conventional rubber valves I would re-balance.
