NOTICE: Carefully remove the sensor by pulling it straight out of the bore. DO NOT use a screwdriver, or other device to pry the sensor out of
the bore. Prying will cause the sensor body to break off in the bore.
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.
8. Remove wheel speed sensor from hub and bearing assembly.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
Important: The new speed sensor will have a new O-ring. Dispose of the old O-ring. Lubricate the new O-ring lightly with bearing grease prior to
installation. You may also lubricate the sensor just above and below the new O-ring. Do Not lubricate the bore.
Important: The new sensor has new mounting clips already installed on the wire. Do not reuse the old clips.
