| Post subject: | HELP! Front wheel hub - speed sensor removal question |
I have to replace both of my front hubs tomorrow. I have the driver's side almost totally torn down, but I don't know how to remove the wheel speed sensor to get the hub off. The service manual says: SENSOR-WHEEL SPEED-FRONT REMOVAL 1. Disconnect the front wheel speed sensor wire connector that is located on the inboard side of the respective wheel house. 2. Raise and support the vehicle. 3. Remove the tire and wheel assembly. 4. Remove the caliper adapter. (Refer to 5 - BRAKES/HYDRAULIC/MECHANICAL/DISC BRAKE CALIPER ADAPTER - REMOVAL). CAUTION: Never allow the disc brake caliper to hang from the brake hose. Damage to the brake hose with result. Provide a suitable support to hang the caliper securely. 5. Remove the disc brake rotor (3). (Refer to 5 - BRAKES/HYDRAULIC/MECHANICAL/ROTORS - REMOVAL). 6. Remove the wheel speed sensor mounting bolt to the hub. 7. Remove the wheel speed sensor wire from the hub/bearing. 8. Remove the wheel speed sensor wire hold down (4) from the knuckle. 9. Remove the wheel speed sensor wire (1) thru the wheel well. 10. Remove the wheel speed sensor (2) from the vehicle. I am having trouble with (6) and (7) above - I took out the bolt in the hub that holds the wheel sensor in, but I can't seem to get the sensor out. Any ideas? Does it just pull out? I pried decently hard with a screwdriver, but I am afraid of damaging it. |

I had same problem. I managed to pry with a screwdriver and broke it off flush. I took it to a shop where they drilled a hole in the sensor, then attached a slide hammer and pulled it out. Hope this helps ! |
