Removal Procedure
CAUTION:
Refer to Brake Dust Caution
in Cautions and Notices.
- Raise the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle in General Information.
- Remove tire and wheel. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation in Tires and Wheels.
- Remove brake caliper. Refer to Brake Caliper Replacement - Front (Dual Piston) in Disc Brakes.
- Remove the hub and rotor. Refer to Brake Rotor Replacement - Front in Disc Brakes.
- Remove wheel speed sensor mounting clip on the control arm.
- Remove wheel speed sensor mounting clip on the frame rail.
- Disconnect wheel speed sensor electrical connector (2).
- Remove the sensor mounting screw (5).
- Remove wheel speed sensor from hub and bearing assembly (5).
NOTE:
Carefully remove the sensor by pulling it straight out of the bore. DO NOT use a screwdriver, or other device. Prying will cause the sensor body to break off in the bore.
NOTE:
Do not attempt to remove the stainless steel shim from the bearing assembly. The shim is permanently attached. If the shim is damaged or bent, replace the bearing assembly. Failure to comply will result in diminished sensor and ABS performance.
IMPORTANT:
The wheel speed sensor mounts into a bore that leads to the center of the sealed bearing. Use caution when cleaning or working around the bore. Do not contaminate the lubricant inside the sealed bearing. Failure to do so can lead to premature bearing failure.
