Changed Rear Wheel Bearing, ABS and Brake Light ON

Please help,
I went to Straus automotive and changed my rear wheel bearings (97 A4 Quattro) now ABS and break lights are on steady. They are telling all sorts of nonsense that the lights will go off by itself. I have driven the car for over 30 minutes now and it is still on.

And your point is???? Either you respond with a solution to the question than being sarcastic.

He was just pointing out my lack of reading comprehension skills.

Anyway, I would first try removing the wheel speed sensor/ABS sensor. You should see a wire back there running from the wheel bearing housing to the hub area. Remove the sensor, brush it off, and reinstall it. See if that helps matters. You might need a vag.com to clear the code (that caused the CEL) as well.

Re: relax...

Diagonistic indicates R/Wheel ABS Sensor, and the Mechanic says it is frozen(right Wheel ABS sensor), so I need to buy a new one because they can not get it out. Any Idea on how to get it out?
