Re: left rear wheel speed sensor 2000 GTP

I did exactly this for a front hub for a friend. He brought the new hub asm and I replaced it only to find the weatherpack had gotten caught on something and a wire torn loose.

I replaced the hub, resoldered and heat-shrank the wire on the old part so he could have a spare part for the future.

A spare hub brg (even if roaring at speed) can make a nice rotary welding positioner if you have such a need in your shop (sort of a lazy susan for continuously welding round parts without a number of stops and starts.)

Interestingly the Grand Prix variants have nearly the same front knuckle and hub as the GM-200 "U" vans (minivans)...they share a similar underbody with the U-van obviously being a "stretched" version.
