I Smashed My TPS Valve Stem!

[bronsin]

I was checking my front brake pad thickness and had a stuck wheel in the process. Forgetting my protocol for dealing with that (loosening the lug nuts and driving a short distance) I wacked the wheel with a sledgehammer about 30 times. Dumb! I hit the valve stem and see the two pics for the results. The red plastic ring came out of the valve stem and the cap was split in two and the stem was damaged per the pic.

My initial thought is to leave it be. I checked the tire pressure without letting the air out of the tire. Through a stuck needle. So Im thinking its fine.

Is it? Do you anticipate problems? Should I have the shop fix it?

Thanks!
