BAD ABS Wheel Sensors- Anyone ever replace them?

[Guest 95LEGAWD]

Just picked up a 95 Legacy AWD with the ABS light staying on-took it to a mech. & he gave me codes that indicated a bad right rear sensor. So, has anyone ever put in a new one?? Require special tools??

 

Thanks for your help:rollin

Nope, but start with a visual inspection, it could just be mud or something in the way. The sensor disc that spins with the wheel should not have even a single hole blocked. Could also be the wire is broken.

 

Good luck!

one bolt (10mm I think) with an extension

lots of time...my 95 was rusted bad about 2 hours

screwdrivers you don't mind breaking the tips off of

 

if it's truely dead shouldn't be bad, just hit the sensor head with a punch and a hammer but don't expect it to work again
