PhilMeUp Member 1,045 Member For: 16y 5m 26d Gender: Male Location: Perth, Western Australia Posted 23/02/15 07:19 PM Share Posted 23/02/15 07:19 PM (edited) Replaced the rear axle bearings on my BFIII wagon taxi a couple of weeks ago.I'm organised - got a few spare sets of axles these days, so I can get a pair ready with new bearings and just swap the axles over.Did that. ABS light comes on at 100km/h. Diagnostics says it's the driver's side rear.Pull it apart and have a look. Clean the ABS sensor. Put it back together.Still getting ABS light at 100.WTF.Put original axle back in and test. No ABS light. Definitely an issue with the replacement axle.Pull it apart again. Have the engine running and watch the replacement axle and ABS rotor rotate. Looks all good, nothing out of alignment.Stuff it, replace the new bearing on the axle. $27.50 wasted. Remove the ABS rotor and clean it up all nice and shiny. Make sure it's back on the axle correctly and press on another new bearing kit.Test time. ABS light still comes on at 100.Swear words. Lots of them. sh*tloads.Starting to wonder if the replacement axle is just so slightly bent that the ABS rotor and sensor don't agree on things at 100km/h. Will get it tested.Just put original axle back in. Again. Spent a bunch of hours on this over the last week.3:15am. Got better things to do. Now I want to remove the front disc rotors and make sure that the metal surfaces are clean.First front disc won't come off. Can't really use a hammer at 3am, although I'd like to. On the neighbour's screaming kids, actually (white trash welfare house next door).Been out there for a few hours tonight and have so far achieved a grand total of SFA.-------------------------------------------In other news, I bought a Dremel today to see if it would be of any use for cutting the old bearings off the axles.Nup.Off to the Cupboard of Stuff That I Use Once A Year.

Cordless is better cause to rotates slower 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my way home, same thing happened. I've put it to him again, waiting for a solution. :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
