New ABS sensors fitted the old ones had been damaged by previous owner after replacing a bearing on the front
Looks Great!! Do you notice a big difference in handling?
Any tips for getting the rusted and stuck hub off? Looks like you possibly chiseled it a little?
Ive tried twice now to replace my ball joints. Couldn't get the hub off with any normal means. Next time, I have a very slim fox wedge and a torch in case it gives me any grief again.

I elongated the hole in the dust cover where the sensor fits through so the sensor can remain in place should the hub ever need removing in the future

I'll have to remember that I did put lots of grease on them before fitting to make sure they slid in place easy mine came with dust covers

Have a look at my CV boot How To in the Technical Section. Plenty of Plusgas and hammer the 4 bolts round the back.
