A little problem here....
I did my wheel bearings this weekend.
I removed the ABS Wheel speed sensors from both knuckles...the passenger side when in no problem but the driver side i could only get in about half way and that's as far as it will go.
I had a bit more trouble getting the knuckle back on to the hub on the driver's side. Could it be that it wasn't far enough on the hub?
I am going to bring it into the shop to make sure my spindle nuts are torqued correctly in the next couple days, I was using a 4' breaker and don't want to overdo it. Are there any other ideas as to why i can't get the sensor back in?
By the way, if anyone's wondering, just get the knuckle and bearing assembly when doing this job, instead of getting new bearings pressed in, unless you have a press of course.
