Thank you for that clear demo. I subscribed to your channel a few days ago after watching your cv boot replacement video using hand tools. You are now on my top list of channels to watch. Thanks again and keep on making videos please!
Exceptionally well done both filming and explanation wise. Seen a lot of DIY demos and yours is one of the best! Thank you for your efforts, skills and knowledge. 🥇🏆
What?? ua-cam.com/users/shortsUsDDa7wgvwc?si=b7trfTT7BDr7OJx3
Very detailed camera work, with lighting, close ups, narration, explanations...I am actually considering doing this now! First channel to actually inspire confidence! Thank you 🙏!
No need, screw a drywall screw into the broken portion of the sensor and pull it out with a hammer. No need to take the whole wheel assembly apart.

You're gonna need a bigger breaker bar than that for the hub nut - 4-5 ft scaffold bar over the breaker bar adds a heap of extra leverage and gets the job done. That cordless impact gun is awesome and much easier! Great video and very detailed.
Fabulous instruction and great clarity on your camera work.
Thanks you very much. Extremely helpful and all I think I needed.

Never knew where the ABS is located before. Thanks, very informative
I just did the front ABS sensor on a 2001 Pathfinder. The top was broke off. In the center of the sensor was a magnet, which did not drill well. Surrounding the magnet was a plastic or nylon material. With a 5/32" drill bit, I just drilled a series of holes in the plastic around the magnet. This relieved the pressure and the old sensor material pulled back out, without taking anything apart. When cleaning out the hole, just blast the debris away with compressed air. The area is vented, so everything blew out. The more difficult problem, was the retaining bolt head broke off, but left a stub. Using a trick I saw on UA-cam, I welded a nut to the stub and the bolt came out. I was also lucky to have a salvaged sensor, so the Total quote of Canadian $450, just cost me time, as I had the tools.
This is very useful. I have an ABS light right now so i hope i don't have a broken one like you, but if i do, i know what to do thanks to you. Thanks for sharing,
Hey bud, this DIY video is the ultimate best detailed video I have ever seen on youtube! Thank you for this and because of your clear and precise instructions/video you have my thumbs up and I’m following. Thanks again!
Wow! Your step by step instructions were very good! Thank you!
This was one of the better videos I've seen. Very informative and great camera work!
Glad you liked it!
Very good job and clear explanation of the whole thing. Well done.
Que fino trabajas. Muy bien hecho! Enhorabuena!
Good job! You made a very careful job. Congrats!
ANOTHER WAY:
1) Use a drill bit about 3/16in smaller diameter than the sensor.
2) Mark the depth of the sensor on the drill bit with tape or paint.
3) Drill the sensor down the middle as accurately as possible, being careful you do not drill deep enough to damage teeth on sensor wheel.
4) Drilled sensor will be thin enough that you can collapse it and remove it.
5) Make sure to completely clean all plastic and metal particles from inside sensor hole or trapped on teeth of sensor wheel so new sensor does not give false readings.
I have removed dozens of sensors this way at my shop and have not had a single problem. Just be patient and careful following the steps above. Also GREATLY reduces the time to complete the job.
Gonna use your advice when I drill mine out got to wait for new sensor to come to see how far to drill
I know this might be a dumb question but I need help!! As I was replacing my sensor the bolt broke in the hub. I tried extracting it out but than the extractor broke. I guess my main question is, does the sensor need the bolt to properly work?
@@lorenzoaparicio5927
Hi Lorenzo, sorry for late answer but here it goes anyway. I too have had that situation happen. Luckily NO, it can be fixed with a bit of thread locker glue. Just clean the ear part where bolt normally attaches with alcohol, add a small amount of thread locker, and insert the sensor in place and leave it alone for a few minutes until thread locker dries. That's it!
Make sure you do not apply thread locker to sensor surface because you do NOT want to glue sensor body to the hole.
Thank you so much for the response. Total life saver I was getting kind of worried. Unfortunately my ABS light is still on so time to make sure the wiring harness is not damaged.
@@lorenzoaparicio5927
Glad to help Lorenzo. Don't spend too much time on it if wiring is ok. Get a good replacement from online source. All those ABS systems are junk. About 95% of vehicles have non working ABS systems. Just take out the ABS fuse if light bothers you. ABS is a "braking assistant" , so it is not an indispensable system on the car.
You would make a very good instructor. Good tutorial. Thanks.
Thank you. Appreciate the feedback.
Amen brother. You did a great job of taking us through a troublesome repair. I am getting ready to do this on my 1999 Acura RL, rear left. Thank you.
You can do it!
Very clear step by step, good job thank you
Wow. you make it look easy. Is great to have the correct tools. Great job!
well thanks alot for showing us this video! very educative & the film camera very clear. Thanks a lot for this hard work. God Bless you!
Happy to help.
Excellent How to Video. Very detailed. Great Job
Amazing job amigo.
Great job and video! You are excellent instructor and I appreciate all this good information! Blessed day! Stay Safe!
Thank you for taking your time to explain . You are an excellent teacher.
Thank you for the great walk-through. After seeing your video, I'm going to try to drill it out. It looks like I only have to get about half the distance of the sensor - hopefully the tip will work out of the knuckle after it is pushed through. I'm definitely going to tape the drill bits to make sure I don't go too deep.
Glad to help. Hope it works out!

Thanks for doing your videos. Great work
Once again man you got it done in a quick, no nonsense manner that both educates and informs the watcher. Your a natural bro. Keep up the videos! Your a treasure man, cars and toys 4ever!!! Your #1...
Thank you for this video. My father has a stuck ABS-sensor on his vehicle, and the two of us has been wondering how to get it out. We realized in the end it must be drilled, and this will greatly help!
Awesome! Glad to help.
Did you drilled it with the assembly out like in this video ?
Very clear clean english speeking precision man good job thanks.
Big thanks, clear and to the point.
Great vid! You might just have saved me a LOT of money there!! Big Thank you from the UK.
Glad I could help!
@@CarsNToys I got a Sensor off e-bay £35 ($44)..NISSAN wanted £425 ($536) just for the Sensor, didn`t even bother asking them how much they would have charged for putting it on. Thanks again...subscribed
Nice instructions and very informative 👍 👌
Thanks for taking time to show all the procedures in doing this. My son and I broke our sensor on his jeep liberty, thinking I had to buy a while new hub bearing until I saw your video. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
ua-cam.com/users/shortsUsDDa7wgvwc?si=b7trfTT7BDr7OJx3
You do excellent work!
Appreciate your videos very much , thank you for sharing it with us do it yourselfers
Awesome content! 👍Thank you for taking the time to teach me something very helpful as my wife and I have a 2006 Honda Accord V6 EX-L
Glad to help!
Great job! You are the man.
Very nice, thank you bro, God bless you.make more videos
Great job , thanks
My 2012 Accord SE just had that same ABS issue with it breaking off in the wheel hub. Took the knuckle off and drilled it out. Thanks for the info.
Glad it worked out!
Thank you very much. You are the best, Sir
You doing very good job nice video good teaching
Wow excellent video.
Extremely detailed thank you..I'll be doing this on my 03 accord today after I pick up a few tools as you stated..thank you
I'm kinda stuck so I'm looking for another video wondering why the ball joint nut on the bottom is just spinning with the bolt
@@fernandocolone7359 check to see if you need to insert an allen key to hold that in place while you unscrew the lower ball joint nut.
Hope it worked out. This was an '03 Accord as well. cheers.
Great video papá
Nice work.
nice mechanicing great video .At 76 year old mechanic and 1980 UK Donnington Park racetrack championship winner I would have cleaned the driveshaft splines and smeared them with some nice copper grease . My favorite anti seize was Bostic NUCLEAR grade grease but it is all gone and soooo expensive on a pension .
Thank you. Appreciate the feedback.
Good video bro congrats you got a 10 from me
Nice one video.
Thank u for making diy car repairs possible especially for those who cannot afford the exhorbitant rates raised by repair centres..... u dont need to be brainy to carry out repairs... just follow guidelines and u will b surprised of your own ability ...Thanks

Thanks bro 👊👊
Thank you Sir, very well done. You made it look easy. I now have the confidence to fix my little problem. I know what Santa is bringing you for Xmas. Lol.
You are very welcome
Nice job bro.. Tqvm
Thank you. Appreciate the feedback.
Good job thank
GREAT VIDEO==THANKS.
Happy to help.
Good video to see what you're working with. However, you may be able to get away with doing a lot less work, as I did. I was able to take off the the axle nut, push the axle back a bit, and use a punch to push the remains of the sensor through. I still needed to drill the hole to clean it out (I believe I used a 3/8" bit), but it would have been a lot more work had I taken the whole knuckle off. Before I watched this video, I did take off the rotor to try to get better access, but as you can kind of see in the video, the you can't really get at the screws for the dust shield because the hub makes it hard to get a screwdriver straight on the screws. You may also be able to drill a little into the sensor and drive a screw or "easy out" into it to pull it out. I had this work on a speed sensor in the past, but this one was just about cemented in there with rust.
Thank you. Appreciate the feedback.
If it's a Michigan car or truck, make sure the extractor machine screws are hardened steel sufficient to maintain form with large force applied. I think "Grade 8" is the designation, but I can't remember. Use lots of penetrating oil, breaker bar leverage, and patience. Severely rusted rotors are hell to remove.
tremendo jefe,los mecanicos de hoy son unos estafadores.pero no todos,algunos son muy honestos.y esos mecanicos honestos son los que casi nunca encuentras..💪🤠
Thank you for making this tutorial video. I feel I can now tackle this project on my 2003 CR-V. But I hope the sensor comes out clean so I don't have to. LOL Again, Thank you for the tutorial.
Glad to help!
its helps but need to go to the shop need men prowess ,thank you...i love it
Happy to help.
So much work to replace a tiny piece of plastic. I prefer the style with tone rings on the outside of the outboard CV axle and therefore easy to replace speed sensors! Hondas have a magnet built into the wheel bearing so this is what you have to do to replace the associated sensor.
That was like performing dentistry via the a555-hole!
I just changed mine, and when one snapped off, I drilled a 3/16" hole, screwed in a drywall screw, clamped it with a pair of vise grips, lubed it up, and tapped it out.
You can use Q-Tips to clean out any debris in the hole, and roll up some fine grit wet/dry sandpaper to remove any corrosion.
Silicone spray on the o-ring of the new sensor, and it slips right in.
Hi Sir thank you...
Loved all the metal and plastic shavings just dying to get into a fight with the seal between the inner and outer wheel bearing race🥴- - - - - - - - -space age grade, extra fine seal lubricating particals I’m guessing?
I have a 2002 Cady and when I gently apply the brakes all is ok. However when I have to stop quickly the right wheel stops rotating and the car jerks violently to the right. Is that a bad sensor? Great video, I didn't know any one could disassemble the front end and make it look so easy.
Very good "watch listen and learn" video from a pro. Many thanks.
Finally, someone that actually knows what hes doing.
not really he didnt need to take rotor off.
7:35 The good old VW Bug days we used a 6' piece of pipe for a breaker. Wheels used to come off vehicles all the times back in the day.
Great video where is your repair shop sir
Doing a knuckle replacement on this exact car tomorrow. Hope I don’t have to go buy myself another abs harness too 😅
Hope it went well!
Wow that is quite the undertaking when you had to take that all apart!!! Does the vehicle have to have a OBD2 to use that scan tool? I have a 95 Ford E350 Econoline chassis on my motorhome and it does not have a OBD2 plug in. The ABS light come on intermittently. Is there another method of checking the sensors?
Any suggestions?
Great video. What is the torque spec on the axle nut please?
The part the sensor is fitted to is called the hub carrier or upright.
What about the debris
if you don't remove
before undoing a nut just get a wire brush and clean of any debris and then put penetrating oil on it is much better hope this helps you
Would the wheel speed sensor cause the abs and brake light to illuminate, or just the abs? I have no traction control either.
try stick a small screw with a little bit of 5 minute epoxy to the broken speed sensor tip. 5 minutes later pull the screw and broken tip out.
@CarsNToys hello sir..is your OBD2 scanner Topdon AL500 or Topdon AL 200? coz i remember 2 years ago i brought my 06 CIVIC to the dealership coz my ABS & BRAKE lights ON they check it for almost 2hrs and they cannot find the problem, that why untill now light on still there, i’m just lucky coz i saw your post here in youtube hoping that you can help me.. THANK YOU and i like that scanner coz it tells you exactly which side exactly has an issue..
Thank you, I was watching your video while trying to do the same thing but was afraid of how it was at the bottom of the sensor because mine is all closed. Your video helped me a lot
Glad it helped
I got a 2010 Nitro rear ABS speed sensor is broken .. stuck inside. Going to try to figure out how to get it out tomorrow.
Any advice
Got general idea thanks alot for this video. mine broke like yours but on a different vehicle. 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland Hemi 5.7 AWD no way to tap out or drill from other side can't get hub off steering knuckle seized on. guess going to try a deck screw and pry it out any ideas how to get it out without dropping pieces inside. Thanks
Happy to help.
I currently also have the same problem on my 2007 GC, I broke the sensor replacing the LCA’s. Actually if you take off the hub you can’t even access the other side of the sensor. I’d love to know how you extracted the broken sensor.
@@mikeburley4666 Hey man just seen this. This is what I remembered doing. Get a flat head screwdriver about half the size of the hole & heat it with a butane torch. Push it in slightly off center don't push it all the way through then stop let it cool then twist and pull should come out. Hope this helps and anybody else with this problem also don't use a drill you'll get metal and plastic shavings inside. good luck
Did your brake light come on as well? And if so did you continue driving in this vehicle until you got the sensor out?
Kálmár
What's the price of the scanner? How to order it..? Please let me know coz I'm also a driver and want to buy it, actually I'm from Sohra (Cherrapunjee) Meghalaya and belong to a Khasi Community... Nice and like watching your Channel and also your pronunciation is very clear...
Another thing you could try to get that broken piece out without removing the knuckle is to spray it with a little penetrating oil then take a small/thin wood screw and see if you can get it to bite into the center of the broken piece of sensor and use that to pull it out.
i tried to be as gentle as possible and still managed to break the Sensor bolt, then bake half the sensor off inside the hole...i feel like Pb blaster the makes bolts weak and break easier on smaller bolts..time to remove the knuckle i guess...thanks man.. i watched this video before my attempt to remove it.
I tried the same technique and failed. It's damn frustrating. Glad to help.
You'll really have fun removing that knuckle. Removed mine on a jetta to replace broken coil springs and bearings. Tried removing the sensors and wasted one of them; the way they were stuck, I don't know how people get'm out without damage.
Meticulous work!
Yes I wanted to know how you take and replace the ABS sensor the upper part of the vehicle where it connects where does it connect the cable does not want to disconnect from out of its hole in the bearing I have four of these to do and I'm having problems with them and all I can get are half-ass videos 2011 Ford Explorer XLT all wheel drive
You sound like a younger version of the Tappet Brothers.
Abs sensor & speed sensor work
How about the where the bolt goes for the sensor I got my sensor out and bolt but the threads are stripped, any tips? Drill new hold, and use tap and dye to create new threads? Weld a bolt into the hole of the stripped threads? Thanks for any help
My scan tool says it's unable to communicate with vehicle. And it's for ABS too. Any idea why the scan-tool can not read ABS? BTW, the scanner did read engine codes. So idk what's up. Thanks
Very big job.
Drill and problem resolved for 5 min
hi, I have a volkswagen passat b5.5 1.8 t petrol and I'm facing a problem with, I have 2 warning lights on the car, abs and traction control, I ran the scanner and it gave me this p0290 open circuit/short circuit to b+ I wonder what it could be, thank you
made a hard job easy
Your recording techniques are very good. I've tried to watch other channels, but when the picture is out of focus, more than in, and they zoom in with their handheld devices I get seasick. Not a problem here.
When i take my leg of the throttle, i feels like i am driving on a road that is a bit rough, i feel a little vibration in my suspension in my front wheels, please what is the cause
