Caliper and rotor removal

I have a 2000 Silverado K-1500 with the ABS brake sensor problem. I have removed the front wheels and cleaned around them the best I could but to do it right I need to remove the caliper and rotor and then remove the sensors themselves. Could someone please give me the short course on removing these two items? I sure would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Sonny

Sonny,

The calipers are held by two bolts, top and bottom.The heads point toward the engine. Remove these, and support the calipers with wire, do not let them hang by the hydraulic line. Now remove the little clips that are on the lug-nut studs. The roter should now come right off. As far as the wheel speed sensor, That is a trickey one. You will see a wire running down the upper control arm. It will lead to the sensor. It has a clip bolted to the hub that traps it in. Removing the sensor without screwing something up is tough. It can break inside, or junk can fall in. I am not even sure if you can buy a new sensor by itself. I think it only comes with the whole hub assembly.

Re: Caliper and rotor removal

Thanks Benex...I remember seeing the two bolts on the caliper. The sensors have what look like hex or torx bolts holding them in. I measured the current from both and the left one is only 125 ac millivolts(350 is the min) so that is the one I'm going to change first. You can get the sensors from the dealer for about 80$. If I mess up the left one and have to buy a sensor and that fixes the problem then I'll settle for that. Thanks for the speedy reply!
Sonny
