rear wheel bearing

[mikesz]

Did you have to remove the ABS sensor from the hub? Gilles had recommended removal of the ABS sensor and am wondering why this would be necessary didn't think the sensor really contacted the hub or race? I have replaced one and found impossible to remove without damaging it getting the sensor out of the hub. I appreciate all the responses/advice I have gotten but I am trying to understand this process without making more problems for myself.

The tip of the sensor is kind of fragile, I broke one of mine by being careless and they are not cheap..

I removed mine to avoid damages from bearing tools and banging around the axle. Easy to do, just one bolt and pulls right out.
