Thread: help in replacing front ABS sensors

Just undo the 4 bolts on the hub and it will easily move enough to clear the sensor.

Use this link. It has other issues in it, but you can see the bolts strangy is referring to.

Have broken my 1/2 power bar now, ok to use heat? or is there some 'trick" to removing this. I dont have access to any air tools etc.
Looked quite a simple job!!!

Do not use heat. You would have unstaked the driveshaft nut from the washer.. . The nut is torqued up to 490 NM, or 362 lbf ft. [ Do not re-use the nut.] Haynes owners workshop manual says, it may be necessary to prise out the centre of the roadwheel, refit the wheel, lower it to the ground, insert the socket, undo the nut. A long length of strong pipe helps. Bob [ Haynes workshop manual, coupled with the RAVE DVD, is invaluable]

After breaking some tools and bars I borrowed an electric rattle gun from a friend who ran a few dozers and excavators. the 3/4 rattle gun did it ridiculously easy.

If Strangys method works then this would be the easiest way.
