I have a 98 Legacy L with ABS. I think I have a bad wheel bearing (had to replace an inner tie rod recently so thinking the play wore it even though it sounds like the noise is coming from the other side) and started to take it apart. When I got to the ABS sensor the bolt came out easy enough, but how does the sensor body come out? There is a small gap at the bottom that I tried to wedge a screwdriver in to see if it would pop away from the knuckle, but a youtube I saw said to not do that because you will break it. Any suggestions? Went ahead and put it back together as its my only car but I know its going to need replaced soon.

I do live in rust country unfortunately. I'm having trouble getting the hub off still. Pinch bolt feels like its going to break, and the castle nut is spinning the bolt on the ball joint. I've been searching the forum and looks like its common and no easy solution.

No, unfortunately there's no easy way to pop loose those ball joints.

 

If the castle nut is spinning the stud, try putting a jack under the control arm to push up on it and see if it will hold the stud just enough to get the nut loose.

 

You a Jon B. fan?
