Geeez that sensor is a bugger to get out isn't it!! It's having to be smashed out! A lot of fine copper wire is flying about lol

It won't connect to forscan, keeps saying ELM NOT FOUND...:-/

Have you set it up properly in forscan?

You need to put IP adress: 192.168.0.10
Subnet mask (not needed but even so): 255.255.255.0
Port (important!): 35000

Then it should connect. And forscan CAN DO a rolling test to check out the reading speed of each ABS sensor

Be careful not to damage the speed ring!

Ditto that!

 

[hardmonkeys]

How did anyone do this!! Geezz!

Do I need to take the hub off?

 

[748]

I think it's possible to do it with the hub in situ but definately easier with it off.
I was replacing shocks and springs so I decided to replace the sensors anyway as they looked like this...



Then like this...

 

[hardmonkeys]

Got it!!

Just need to clean the inside of the recess now, then back together, seeing as I've the brake disc and pads off, might replace them now

 

[Sjon]

How did you clean them? Chemical or mechanical

 

[hardmonkeys]

Not done yet, I'm going to buy some fine emery paper just to remove the corrosion in the hole, also need a new bolt to hold in the sensor, I absolutely mullered the old one, oh also the bolt that holds on the brake caliper carrier, they didn't make it either, I'm in no rush if I'm honest, it's a s l o w going project haha!

 

[hardmonkeys]

Got my new bolts to hold the abs sensor in, and the caliper carrier.

Should the abs sensor just now push in, as it...erm..doesn't...goes about 1/2 way in, don't seem to have any debris in the recess, will get a fine file tomorrow and see...

Can I grease the sensor up, or will that cause problems?

Thanks for your help...I do appriciate it

 

[Skippy]

I made sure the hole was clear, then rubbed down the sensor a bit (it's ribbed). I also used a little WD40 and then the bolt and a little encouragement to drive it home.

 

[hardmonkeys]

Ok, will take a look tomorrow after work.

I curiously tested the resistance of the new sensor...it's bang on. :wink:

I also bought new disc and pads, so they'll be going on too, after I cleaned the caliper up. Got my brother in law coming down soon, so need plenty to do, so i don't have to socialise with him...

 

[Wild E. Coyote]

I used some sandpaper on my drill and cleaned the hole to shiney standard. Then teh sensor just eases in with light push. Secure it with the bolt and that is it. If you havent deformed the ABS ring it will work as intended!

 

[hardmonkeys]

That's brilliant thanks. Out of interest...if I have deformed the ring...how much will I be expecting to pay for a replacement...I've tried not to deform but it's not 100%, it's hardly out of shape...but..

I'll try take pics later,

 

[Wild E. Coyote]

Can't tell, actually. The front rings are rare items. Maybe if Ian G can save one from his batch of hubs. Rear rings are easy to buy over eBay; I don't think I have ever seen the front one to pop up...

 

[hardmonkeys]

Actually it isn't that bad!

Cool project.

 

[hardmonkeys]

Cool project.

Thanks

Slow going though, but I love it.

Fitted the sensor now, torqued to around 8nm, just fitting new brake disc and pads then I need to get it up to 12mph to see if sensor works, resistance is now 1190ish...so all good...

Problem is...car has no tax...or mot...or insurance...where the hell am I gonna get up to 12mph without going on the road haha!!

Carefully on axle stands? Probably wouldn't work though as I would think you need all four wheels spinning... Not helping much am I.... :-(

I had thought of that also, but figured it'd need a rolling resistance to get a True reading...
