Front ABS Sensor

[STRBramley]

I’ve just got a second hand NSF hub for my 182 Trophy that came with an abs sensor. I’ve cleaned it all up and wanted to replace the sensor and knackered bolt (rusted and impossible to get off without breaking the sensor).

Does anyone know if the below link is the correct sensor?

Also, what bolt size do I need to replace it?

Perfect thanks [emoji106]

I’ll drop a screenshot below of the information in the link in case any one else is searching for the same information and the eBay link has since expired.

The sensor isn't supplied with a bolt.
Does anyone know what size bolt is required? Looks like M6 25mm?

Be lucky to get the bolt out tbh.

Neither of mine are bolted in, the sensor is that tight in there it's not moving anywhere.

I got the old bolt out by cutting the head off and then basically destroying the ABS sensor. The thread for the bolt was then loose in the hub to easily remove with pliers.
I can run it without a bolt then?

If their anything like the rears they are that tight a fit, the bolt is basically pointless anyway.

Never done a front one, but the rears are impossible to remove without damaging the sensor as it's that tight a fit.

The new one will be almost as tight going in as the old one coming out.

Both of mine broke the bolt off so are only held in by their interfacing fit.

I found a bolt that fits perfectly.
Caked it in copper grease so hopefully it isn't as difficult to remove next time round.

Nice.

Mine were both sheared off so I couldn't be bothered to drill out.

Do these sensors need a serious hammer to be put in? They seem a mm too big

A tight fit yeah.

Use a bit of wood in between though so you don't smash the f**k out of the new sensor.

Seems the hub would have to be drilled out, or hammer it and take off a huge layer of the sensor

Dont tap it, whack it

I filed the hole down slightly to remove the layer of rust and the sensor went in much easier.

It seems like it will need a fair bit taken off with a die grinder. I wanted just a plug and play job.

 

[JamesBryan]

Yeah I filed some of the rust out too.

May have used a bit of grease as well, can't remember now.

It will go in.

Any idea what size bolt this was? M6?

Cheers!

Little bump on this.
Do these fit both front left and right sides? Are the rears the same too?

Same both sides on the front yeah.

Those won't fit the rears though, you need these for rears.

If your not in a rush I bought these for the rear, quality seems fine, length and fit is perfect:

I bought these for the front which look identical to the Bosch above and the origional ATE

The rears are a bit more annoying as you need to remove the disk and hub carrier to install.

Were the front sensors a tight fit? I've just gone to fit them and they are as loose as a white man in a black hole!

Haha, yes they were a tight fit, i would prefer it if they weren't so tight tbh.
