Abs fault..

[twaiter]

hi guys, i got a local guy to change a wheel cylinder for me the other day there but when he had the drum off where the cylnder is theres a sora round bit with spikes like a spindal?? anyway he thought that was to come of and he took a chissel to it to try turn it.. it turned n turned but wouldnt come off, but i think e chipped 1 or more of the teeth from it , now my abs is constantly kicking in.. the AA guy said it could be a sensor or sumthin, but wen i take the abs fuse out the speedo stops working..
any ideas guys?
thanks!

The monkey b*****d as knackered one of the rear ABS rings. You'll need a new one, the speedo won't work as it uses the ABS instead of a speedo sender on the gearbox. You need a new abs ring and the light won't go off until you've got the new ring on and you've braked for the first time.

Take it somewhere different this time too if he doesn't know what an abs ring is. Although i'd try to get them to pay.

Don't think they're mega money about 20 sheets a ring I think. Can check if needed. Whats your problem exactly kic?

taken from another post i had

i had a mechanic friend check them as i thought my pads were on the way out and he says the discs look quite new. really weird noise when braking but not all the time, sometimes it feels like i am pushing the pedal to the ground and can feel heavy vibrations going through the pedal as if its dragging along the ground, and it sounds as if sometimes the wheel is still spining on my passenger side, i use sounds like very strongly there as i doubt this is actualy happening

the noise sounds if its coming from passenger side, and my lights only come on when i go above 60mph

Well the ABS pump is on the passenger side, have you checked the abs rings?

dude your aswell as speaking spanish when it comes to mechanical side, but if u can give me derections i'am sure i could do it

You can only easily check the fronts on a drum rear car iirc. Basically take the front wheels off and look at the driveshaft behind the disc, you should see a ring with several teeth on it around the driveshaft. It should be a complete ring not broken and it shouldn't have any teeth missing, they are uniformly spaced.
