I need to replace my wheel speed sensors on my vehicle, but I don't want to replace the entire hub assembly. How do I replace the sensors only. I know you can because they are sold separately. Thanks

Hello,

The wheel speed sensor mounts to the hub assembly. You do not have to remove the hub assembly in order to replace the speed sensor.
You will have to remove a wheel guard to get to the sensor from bind the wheel. The sensor is mounted with one bolt.

I have attached diagrams for your reference.

Please let me know of any questions.

Thank you.
