Default Scraped wheel speed sensor.

<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v250/bentruby1/CIMG7920.jpg">
Should they be scraped up like that?

I pulled out my wheel speed sensors to check them for corrosion and dirt while I was in there doing the control arms.
The Passenger side came out no problem, but the drivers side was jammed in there. It took 2 hours of twisting and yanking to get it out... I broke it getting it out. Gonna try to get it replaced by the shop that did my drive axle last year.

Default I dont really know... the ABS didnt work in general, had the controller rebuilt.

This was the second diagnostic step. Shouldve been my first.

Just read the rest of the post, but that scraping is fine. No worries.

Default call Shokan. They sell used for ~$80. I had to replace mine after a CV boot

replacement. Forgot to pull it before re-mounting the CV Joint. I must have slid into the upright further than normal w/ the joint out. Couldn't figure out why it was so difficult to get that joint back on--crushed the sensor. Oops.
