Transmission mount removal and ABS sensor repair
by Matt on February 16, 2010
Ordered a resurfaced flywheel & rear main seal from Prince @ Vast. $275 + $225 core. He keeps your CC on file so it’s easier to funnel your paycheck to them. Also ordered a bunch of random stuff from ECS for $260.
Then, tonight I went over to the shop and took a saw-z-all to my tranny mount.
After that I spent some time hacking off the old ABS sensor. What a pain! It was seized in the hub and no amount of pounding on it from the inside of the hub would break it free. I wish I had some chisels for my air chisel. Instead, I drilled several small holes around the top/side of the sensor and chipped away at it and pried it out. I also had to drill out and rethread the bolt hole that was seized.
