Can I take the speed sensor off the hub and put it on a non-abs hub? Reason being I have a bad bearing on an ABS hub, and If I can just switch it with a good used hub off my parts car, I'd be much happier then drilling out the old bearings. Can this be done?

 

^^Sorry, been meaning to reply at this thread for about an hour, just got really busy and left my computer.

YES

If you have a base model, they might be different, but if you are swapping from the GXL with or without ABS or the TurboII, they'll be the same. Also, they still might be the same between the base and what you have, but they could possibly be different.

I'd say go for it

 

i just changed all the bearings in my fc.... is it the front or back.. if itz the back the bearing change is extramly easy.. if front itz a little more diffuclut with removing the races... if u decice to go that route napa is your best freind

 

if you want to keep the abs you need the abs hub. I'm pretty sure the non abs one won't have the mounting hole for the abs sensor.

 

yeah... thats what i was hoping against. I'll take pictures this weekend and let everyone all know.

 

I'm calling mazdatrix to see if that hub will work.

 

GOOD NEWS. The part numbers for ABS hubs and non ABS hubs are exactly the same. There is a hole on both hubs for the speed sensor to bolt up to. This makes me VERY happy.

 

Your ABS actually works?

 

Yes.
