  9. From the technicians point of view, the FRONT of the sensor will have:
    • A foam ring (2)
    • A pin hole (1) for centering the pin-Note the location of the pin hole.
    • A flush rotor flange cuff (4)
  10. IMPORTANT: If reusing the existing sensor, you must make an alignment mark on the rotor flange cuff (3) before removing the sensor. Failure to do so will cause misalignment when installing the sensor. A new sensor will be required if misaligned.
  11. Make an alignment mark on the flush rotor flange cuff (3).
  12. Remove the connector from the sensor.
  13. Remove the sensor from the adapter and bearing assembly.
  14. To install the sensor, proceed to step 5 in the installation procedure.
