    ABS wiring

    Just been looking at the new white clio i've got, to find that both front wheel bearings are barely hanging on! Now i noticed that one of the ABS sensors is cut, hence the bulb on the dash must have been taken out. I've got two hubs off a non-ABS valver with bearings less than a year old just sitting around. Can i swap the hubs over? I'm assuming that the toothed ABS rings on the driveshafts won't get in the way?

    Also what's involved in removing the ABS? After searching i know about the master cylinder replacement if there's only 2 ports on it, and obviously new brake lines required. Just wondering about the wiring removal really?

    Don't really need the ABS to be honest - just another thing to go wrong (and it obviously has at some point already!). Also from what i've read on here it cuts in too early anyway.

    Help appreciated, as would like to tackle this tomorrow!


    Thanks guys,

    Alex

    would mean new brake lines for sure.

    Might be best to get a full set up from a donner car and swap the lot - pipes inc

    easy i think mate..brake pipes can be made up..master cylinder needs replacing and i think the whole abs loam just unplugs iirc..

    hubs can be swapped over without having to change the driveshafts..
