Nissan Repair: ABS sensor replacement, nissan maxima, harness clips


Question
I am doing front end work on a 95 Nissan maxima. Both the fr and lf sensors are broken off, how do i go about taking the old ones out and putting new ones in without cracking the plastic housing

Answer
Dave,

The new sensors are direct bolt in replacements for the old ones.  You are talking about the pickup and not the square wave generator "Tone Rings"?  The new ones come with the connector harness and it is simply a plug and play operation with the exception of removal of the bolt that holds them and the clips that keep the wiring out of the way.  If you are talking about the tone rings they have to be pressed on and off.  The plastic clips do break on the harness clips are not that much of a problem since you can zip tie them into place.
