I know and
they use to be very hard to get loose. Sometimes you have to pull out the driveshaft so you can force it out from the backside.
When it is out you have to use a drill at the hole to clean up with so the new sensor will fits in the hole. If you do that with the
driveshaft still in place be very careful so you not damage the ABD ring as the sensor read from, it will light up the ABS lamp.
Weekend mechanic 😅
Changing the rear wheel speed sensors on my beast. Getting the tools ready. Car lifted, jack stands locked in place and tyres off. Now to replace with these... Getting too old for tasks such as these, so taking a smoke break 😂 ...
A job weldone
New technologies on cars are not always difficult to work on. The complain of many car enthusiasts, they do not like modern cars and stay repairing classics with not complicated techs. You prove the opposite, and i like that.
Thank you. It’s not that difficult if you have the proper
tools to go about the task and of course knowing what needs doing. Some proper safety requirements and some passion. These are just minor maintenance work. Google and YouTube works wonders! I love working on vintage cars as well and hope to acquire an E9 ...
Then there will be
wheel speed sensors installed... what is the model and year of your modern Volvo. I can try to look it up.
Looks good but you need to stop smoking. 🤣🤣 [nt]
I hope you is able to change the sensor without pull off the driveshaft. That is a pain to do without a lift. Good luck.
Thank god it does not have to!
The sensors are located just behind the wheel hubs. As I do not have a car lift, the work takes some doing 😅

Yes... the hex bolt is a pain to undo!!!
I had the bolts sprayed with WD40 overnight but it is still a pain 😡 A long nose pliers helps though
Thank you Jocke. Once the hex bolt is undone, the long nose pliers helps
to ‘wriggle’ the sensor slowly out... lots of dirt after years of accumulation 😂😂😂 How I wish, I have a 2 or 4 post lift. Makes all the work so much less effort
Yes a lift will help a lot
after 30 years working with lifts and closer to 60 I try to avoid working with jacks. 🤣🤣
Owh, on the smoking habit...
I do not smoke much. A packet of 20 will last me a couple of days. However, if during winter and if Nico is around, then those numbers would not stand! 🤣🤣🤣
