Guest TurboSedan Posted January 13, 2006 Report Posted January 13, 2006 how do these things come out of the rear knuckle? i broke one today while i was hammering the lower strut bolts out Quote
Bossman429 Posted January 13, 2006 Report Posted January 13, 2006 Isn't the whel speed sensor built into the hub? On the front I think it's just a sensor on the knuckle, but the rear is built in. This is the case on my girlfriend's 93 Cavy, and I think it is the same for W's I can't remember, haven't looked under my STE in a while. Quote
terryk2003 Posted January 13, 2006 Report Posted January 13, 2006 yeah...i just replaced mine...its the whole rear hub assembly...there are i believe 3 or 4 bolts in the hub... Quote
Bossman429 Posted January 14, 2006 Report Posted January 14, 2006 Try to find them used. They are the same for all ABS w's 1990-1996. Only the Master cylinder changed, hubs remained unchanged. New ones are gonna be around $120 a pop most likely. Quote
Guest TurboSedan Posted January 14, 2006 Report Posted January 14, 2006 yeah i am going to get them from the same ABS equipt '94 Cutlass i got my calipers from a few days ago. considering he sold me the calipers & related hardware for $15 i can probably get both rear hubs and knuckles for around $40. thank god for cheap U-pull-it junkyards btw, i priced a new hub at Checker today and they wanted ~170 IIRC :shock: Quote
Bossman429 Posted January 15, 2006 Report Posted January 15, 2006 Yeah, I think they are like $120 for me at Carquest, but I get a discount. You should take some pics of your progress, I wanna see! Quote
terryk2003 Posted January 15, 2006 Report Posted January 15, 2006 i got mine for $110 which was @ cost from budget auto parts... Quote
Guest TurboSedan Posted January 17, 2006 Report Posted January 17, 2006 well i just pulled the rear hub and found that the ABS sensor is actuatly seperate from the hub. it's sort of like a dust cap that presses onto the back side of the hub after you pull the hub out of the knuckle. the ABS sensor/rear dustcap thing has 3 numbers on printed on the inside: - GE118 - 4676068 - 3160 i think the 467 might be the part #? i hope so anyway; the hub itself is still good. i'll get some pics of the ABS sensor and the rear hub.

pwmin Posted January 17, 2006 Report Posted January 17, 2006 wish i woulda seen this earlier. yeah, it comes apart. then gen 2's are integrated. i just replaced my hub without changing the sensor Quote
Guest TurboSedan Posted January 17, 2006 Report Posted January 17, 2006 well i went to NAPA and the GM dealership and they both said it is not available seperately :? so i think i'm just going to get another ABS sensor from the j/y and put it on my hub. those hubs sure can be a bitch to pull out of the knuckle.

pwmin Posted January 18, 2006 Report Posted January 18, 2006 carquest(raybestos) 121106 http://www.partsamerica.com/ProductList.aspx?PartType=1060&PTSet=A&SearchFor=ABS%20Wheel%20Sensor costs a lot though Quote
Guest TurboSedan Posted January 18, 2006 Report Posted January 18, 2006 all i see are ABS sensors for the front wheels...i need one for the rear. Quote
pwmin Posted January 18, 2006 Report Posted January 18, 2006 yeah, oops, just realized you were talking about rear. it helps a lot to actually read the post Quote
timg Posted January 20, 2006 Report Posted January 20, 2006 I think I got two used rear hub assemblies for $40 or so. It takes about 30 minutes to jack the car up, remove the wheel, and swap the hub if you're quick. Having the right tools is critical though. Tim Quote
Guest TurboSedan Posted January 20, 2006 Report Posted January 20, 2006 yeah i actually had the rear hub off a few days ago. i just had to remove the caliper & caliper bracket and then it was 4 10mm bolts. i'm just about to head down to the j/y in Douglas to one. Quote
Guest TurboSedan Posted January 24, 2006 Report Posted January 24, 2006 i got a good rear hub with ABS sensor/pigtail and 2 good lower strut bolts (since i messed mine up) out of a '94 Cutlass today, also scored a good rear brake hose and a nice Grand Prix passenger side front door window switch all for $15 at the junkyard today tomarrow i should finally be able to get the rear brakes and sway bar finished up. i have the Addco bar in place but i still need to figure out if i'm going to use the Addco hardware or GM hardware. i'll get some pics up. i should have the front end done with Intrax springs and bigger '96 brakes very early February. so yeah....the car is going to have stinkbug stance for a little while until i can order the FFP coilovers (hopefully March). i should be driving the car within a month if everything works out.
