jelliff Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I've been doing my darndest to take this ABS sensor out from the backing plate on my imp.. Does anyone have any tips/tricks for the removal of it? I've obviously removed the bolt, but I can not seem to get this to budge from the backing plate porthole. I've tried soaking this in pb blaster for the last 4 days. Once I get this off, I can then go forward with the wheel bearing replacement. I have access to a press, but no slide hammer removal tools. this is the drivers side rear wheel I am referring thanks, Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john in KY Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 You may just want to leave it inplace. There is a disconnect/connection under the rear seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelliff Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 hmmmm, I like that idea. I'd rather contend with a 2 foot wire than deal with this more. excellent John. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Once they get rusted/seized in place, there is only one real option to remove it, and that generally means to destroy it. If you're patient and have a set of punches, usually you can get the sensor to rotate by tapping on the housing where the bolt goes through, and work the sensor back and forth over and over and pry out a little each time, then you might be able to get the sensor out. Might also ruin the sensor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelliff Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 Got the knuckle and assembly off now. What aftermarket besringss have you folks used on these and had good success. I priced OAM bearings at Subaru as well as Napa and well over $100 I would like to go less expensive so let me know what's out there and what you guys like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Alot of people like Timken. I've been buying Beck Arnley bearings on Rockauto because they're rubber sealed which helps keep dirt out of the bearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelliff Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 No its not done yet.... lol. Uncle has stage 4 now so I spent some time with him. I did get a chance yesterday to order OEM bearing and seals. 66bucks can ya believe it... free shipping too. Have a friend with a press, so hopefully it'll all be back to operating properly by the beginning of next week. I just can't believe how busy this site is still. I'm in the right place for sure. Thanks for all the help, and I did pull the ABS wire with the knuckle as a complete unit. Gotta love my matco impact. Soaked for days on end and the all bolts spun right off with no real issues.
