Default ABS warning light

Hi folk.

Had ABS and anti skid warning light. Computer says wheel speed sensor.
Popped a new one in and no look.

On this website another post previously suggested a wheel bearing.
Changed this today and whilst disassembled cleaned the wheel speed ring gear and it easily came off the drive shaft, on closer inspection it was cracked completely open and subsequently expanded a couple of mm therefore rubbing against the wheel speed sensor and resulting in unequal readings hence the light.
Lightly welded back together and die grinded the appropriate shape.
All back together and hey presto

On a side note, no need to break open the lower ball joint to extract the drive shaft to get to the wheel bearing bolts. Undo the 2 strut bolts and pull forwards.

Its a world wide fitment and all cars use the same principle so the make is irrelevant.
Now if youd have opened with 'what car is it mate' Id have been less shirty.

Not really wordwide or on all cars as many have press fit bearings.

This video shows how checking the condition of the rings is one of the first things to do when you get the warning light especially as it's much more likely the issue than a sensor.
Fair enough on repairing but replacing the ring is the best way to go for most seeing as they're less than £3.
