RCV axle and ABS ring (1 Viewer)

[pufft]

Maybe Im not getting something but is there an aftermarket ABS ring for RCV axles or a way at least to get the dash light to go off? I was down to just my airbag light (due to bad clocking ring I think?) but with the new axles the ABS light stays on hasn't bothered me for a while but would like to fix it. Thanks.

You take the ring off your old birfs and put it on the RCV birfs no problem.

I was hoping that just didn't see distinct line on the ring separating it from the axle. Thanks

It's a press fit and was a PITA to get it started flush. Large plumbing fittings worked well. Keep the orientation the same as there is an inner and outer side to the ABS ring.

Or you can just drive without ABS and have your wife ask you every time she drives it why the light is on.

...or unplug the bulb.

I did a set very easily. Once the rings were off the OEM birfs, I heated them up on the stovetop until they were pretty warm-hotish. After that, they dropped right on the new birf and when cooled, super tight. Worked like a charm and no press or big hammer needed.

Mine came off and went back on very easily with just a small brass hammer and drift.

I hope mine are that easy. My wife won't drive my cruiser because it won't fit in her parking deck. What a shame.

I removed my ABS sensor from the old axle with an 8" puller

I wanted to press it on the new axle, but my press doesn't have enough travel. I cut some wood so the birf could sit flat in the vice, it wasn't too bad.

I use a bearing splitter to pull them off and the brass hammer to install.
