Did you fit the correct bearings, and fit them the correct way round? Also did you damage the very delicate magnetic flux rings on the bearings?
A press is the only safe way to fit bearings, and then they need pressing in with the correct spacers to avoid damage. I changed 2 last weekend, which takes about 15 minutes per side, with the correct pressing procedure.
 
As above. What caused the damage to the first bearing fit? For example or impact in the wrong place will damage the bearing, abs magnets or both.

15 mins when the hub is off the car John !! :)

Hi thanks for the reply after revision I realised I ****ed up by not pressing them in they were tap in with hammer and wood there's no obvious sign off damage but since I posted im having to change bushes and drop link ball joints few others things and have got new bearings and will change them too by pressing them in also the brakes needed bleeding would that have cause the abs to act up and send warning code
 
Bleeding the brakes will likely not resolve the abs issue.
As suggested already, it’s likely you damaged the abs sensor / magnet.

When you say ‘the wheels locking up’, do you mean because the abs is not working now?
 
When I put it all together and drove off got to maybe 20mph and the tree amigos started flashing and the wheels not so much locking up just the brakes were fluctuating had to keep my foot lightly pressed on the brake peddle to stop the fluctuating then few moments after the warning lights stayed on it stopped fluctuating and I got back home
 
Got another issue been having for a while can't seem to figure it out short circuit to the boost solenoid cause poor acceleration at the start but once I'm up above 40 she runs perfect
