Use the pictures above for reference:

Before you remove the sensor, spray some PB Blaster around it to make it easier to remove.

Remove the screw in the back of the sensor. I had to use a pair of lock pliers, since the hex 5.5 was too small and the 6 was too big.
Once the screw is off, get a long socket that will fit around the metal tip and gently start to hit the socket to move the sensor out the back. Be careful not to bang the metal tip of the sensor. The socket should be resting on the hard plastic part of the sensor, not the metal tip.

When I worked on removing my front diff, I had to remove both speed sensors from the front hubs. Using PB Blaster makes a big difference.

Thanks for the info . I will try the socket .Thought about doing that earlier but Ididn't want to damage the sensor

My ABS light just started coming on occasionally and I notice that I am having trouble starting. Battery power is real low before starting, with a new battery. Can the ABS cause this to happen or should I be looking at something else? Thanks.

Hi, I am far from being a pro, but I don't know of any reason the abs would drain the battery unless the brake actuator pump was running while the vehicle is off. When the ABS light illuminates it means that the ABS is unavailable but that the regular brakes are still operational. A code is usually set in the brake module memory, and is stored even when the light turns off. I attach the instruction to see if there is a code stored in your vehicle. If you get a code, post it and maybe someone else will be able to zero in on what is going on. Good luck

Vehicle Level Brakes and Traction Control Antilock Brakes / Traction Control Systems Testing and Inspection Antilock Brake System How to Display and Read Diagnostic Trouble Codes Without Scan Tool Without Scan ToolDISPLAYING AND READING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
When the warning light in the meter remains ON, the Electronic Hydraulic Control Unit (EHCU) stores the fault identification and disables the ABS.


How to Display Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)</B> NOTE:

• If DTCs are not displayed, harness C-4 connector terminal 30 and I-10 connector terminal 2 may be disconnected. Repair the harness and try DTC display again.
• DTCs can be displayed also by TECH 2. Select mode "F0: Diagnostic Trouble Codes" from Application Menu.

How to start DTC display</B>

• Confirm that the vehicle has come to a complete stop (with the wheels standing still) and that the brake pedal is not depressed. (Unless these two conditions are satisfied, DTC display cannot be started.)

• With IGN OFF, connect #12 terminal (of Data Link Connector) with #4 terminal or # 5 terminal (GND). Then turn IGN ON.
• Keep #12 terminal connected with #4 terminal or # 5 terminal (GND) during DTC display. (If #12 terminal is separated from #4 terminal or # 5 terminal (GND) during display, display will stop.)

DTC display</B>

• DTC is displayed by blinking warning light.
• Double-digit display.
• First, normal DTC 12 is displayed three times and then any other DTCs are displayed three times. (If no other DTCs have been stored, the display of DTC 12 will be repeated.)

NOTE:</B>

• If the following should occur during DTC display the display will be discontinued. After initial check, the status that is under the control of ABS will be resumed:
• The vehicle starts (The wheels turn) or the brake pedal is depressed.
• Up to 3 different codes can be stored.
• If the ABS should turn OFF due to an intermittent defect, the system will be restored at the next key cycle, if the initial check finds no abnormality (when IGN is switched from OFF to ON).

An example of DTC display</B>
Display of DTC 23

After displaying DTC 12 three times, one DTC after another is displayed, starting with the most recent one. (However, display is discontinued after about 5 minutes.)



The DTC 12 is displayed repeatedly. (display is discontinued after about 5 minutes)

I appreciate the input. I will look into it and see what I come up with. I will be sure to share my findings.
