Incredibly old post. looking at replacing front speed sensor. looking for info on repacking hubs. Found this thread

Front Bearing Replacement

This morning I began the task of replacing my front driver side wheel bearings, to try and fix the vibration problem I have had. I even started taking pictures, and wish I had a nice Tech article to post, but I chickened out when I couldn't get the cone washers and flange to loosen. Tried...

can someone tell me if I am looking at doing ALL of this, or direct me to the section I should expect?
Thanks

IF you are just repacking your bearings....you will be skipping all the parts involving replacing the bearing races (assuming yours are still good). The write up (quite long and highly detailed) is correct....but the procedure is not as daunting or involved as it 'reads'.

Glad to find this thread as I think one of mine needs replaced.

Any of you guys getting the correct sensor location off a generic CEL scan, or do I need to mess with the newer techstream program?

 

[shanko]

I am not sure what a "CEL scan" is. I am getting the correct sensor from both Techstream and from two separate OBD scanners. The codes thrown are different for each wheel. Mine reports LF wheel.

"CEL scan" = Check Engine Light scan

@Blackwater It might work, but you'll have to make sure that your scanner can read chassis codes, not just powertrain codes. Not all do, techstream definitely does.

 

[Blackwater]

Ok good deal, appreciate that!!

Had my CEL read, figured it was a wheel sensor with my VSC lights on the dash.

Here's what I'm getting, looks like a quick search online shows a 02 sensor.

Can anyone confirm which one needs replaced or possibly a P/N? I'll do some digging online

So my VSC, ABS, and TRAC lights went off. Checked all the resistance for the sensors and got 1 ohm for the front and 1.3 for the rear so I think the sensors are fine. Before taking to the mechanic I’d like to know what else should I checked so I have a better understanding of the problem so don’t get ripped off. Do you have any recommendations? 2001 LC w/ 160K miles. Thanks for all the help!

Was it 1 ohm, or was it showing a 1 because it was an open circuit? I'm trying to find out what is normal for the ohms.
Mine are reading 2.5k ohms on the front. I just replaced the front ones and that fixed my problem for a day or two, and now my VSC, ABS, and TRAC lights are on again (but not the brake light like last time).

Thanks, that helps. Looks like the sensors I got are out of spec.

so it is not necessary to remove the calipers/rotors from the hub in order to replace the front abs sensor? just gotta use the picks and dremel tool?

You should be able to pull it out from the rear, mines crumbled apart tho. Ebay sensor still working good for me
