Why not install Tire Pressure Monitors instead? I've been using TPM on main tires for over a year. Tire pressure can be checked as part of preflight inspection. Works a charm....

I can't unscrew it and add air without removing the front pant
Would "flow-through" monitors work for us? Like these?
I have a hangar-mate with a Zenith 750 Cruzer so I'm considering this kit, 3 for my -12iS and 3 for his 750 Cruzer. We could keep the monitor unit on the workbench and check both aircraft at the same time!
Too big and bulky. Might be difficult to balance wheel. Get similar unit as my post above and Bluetooth to cell phone app...
I have these on my main tires and they work perfectly.
Did you put one on the nose gear tire ?
I did'nt.

Has anyone put a sensor on nose gear?
Can you take it off and add air with removing the wheel pant?
I’m surprised that something like the oil filler door hasn’t been done more often like Cessna’s had. Seems easy enough to do.
Cessna can't even make pilot / passenger ingress doors so they stay shut....
