DO NOT use a screwdriver, or other device to pry the sensor out of the bore. Prying will cause the sensor body to break off in the bore. Remove the wheel speed sensor (5) from the hub/bearing assembly (4). Remove the WSS cable mounting clip from the knuckle. Remove the WSS cable mounting clip from the upper control arm. Remove the WSS cable mounting clip from the frame attachment point. Remove the WSS cable electrical connector. 6. 7. 8. 9. Installation Procedure 1. Plug the WSS bore to prevent debris from falling into the hub. 2. Using a wire brush or equivalent, clean the WSS mounting surface on the hub to remove any rust or corrosion. 3.
