My ABS brakes have been acting up lately. They have been acting over sensitive. When I wiggle my ABS sensor wires, the problem goes away for a while. I would like to know how to remove the sensors properly for cleaning, carefully and with what tools this has been doen successfully. I really don't want to mess them up. The light has been on for a week now. Thanks in advance.

Remove the tire, use a wide flathead screwdriver and pry up on the sensor. It will eventually pop out. There is nothing but friction holding it in there. |

Do you just wipe them off real good and put them back or is there more to it??? |

Thank you. I'll give it a try. I was going to clean them off and cover it with dielectric grease. Does anyone have any objections to this before I do it? Good, Bad? |

G #2, when you purchase a new sensor, they come with some type of grease for putting on the sensor. It's probably not a bad idea to put a light coating of grease on the sensor before putting it back in. Also, there is a copper bushing in the hole which is friction fit to the sensor. Take a thin flat screwdrivwer and bend it inwards a little to get a little more friction before you tap the sensor back in. |
