I hate to ask something it has been asked already, so I always try to search first, but how do I search to a combination of words. I am searching for ¨sensor ring¨ I get all sensors and all rings but not specifically both. Sorry for my ignorance. And since I already got this far, my problem is that I am doing the rear brakes and the sensor rings are stuck with rust. I did not order them, so I am trying to get them out. Any ideas? and if I have to order them, I still want to save the hub, do a hammer and chisel will do to break them out of the rotor?
I was hoping to do the job this weekend and now it seems like my LR will be on jacks for days. Very frustrated.

 

been there, ............you need a BFH , some PB BLASTER...and a lot of patience. I'm going to assume that you want to get the rings out so you can install them in a new set of brake rotors ? ftc1379 is the likely part #( and they are VERY expensive) SO...soak them in penetrating oil for a while you might be able to tap on the studs to help get them out ( if you damage a stud....the threads are 6 x 1.0 metric) tap ( beat ) on the outside of the rotor....wear some safety glasses as the rust will be a flyin' sooner or later they will come loose and you can reuse them as long as you dont bend them . good luck

 

Thanks. At least you gave me hope. I will let them soak overnight in WD40 and try again tomorrow.

 

I went to Walmart and got the PB Blaster. I will let you know tomorrow how it goes. Thanks again.

Sorry, couldn't resist

 

Thanks, that answers my first question.

 

My wife is still laughing. XCELLER8 recommended a BFH and I thought, humm, it must be some special tool I don't have yet. I did a search on Google and there it was, the most primitive tool, which by the way, did not good to me this time. I broke the rotor in pieces with the BFH and after a lot of bad words my wife suggested using something a little more sophisticated, like a saw. That finally did the trick. Got new Brakes all around now.
Thank you all.
