Thought I’d pre-watch this video before replacing the front nearside hub on my Astra van, I love the way you seem to gently tap your hub and it comes out! I’ve been arguing with mine for well over an hour now and the bugger still isn’t shifting 😤

Done this job today, a bit different though, I dropped the bottom ball joint and that allowed me the room to get the drive shaft out to access the bolts of the hub. Your video really helped buddy. Many thanks.

[@arthurcator5246]

I did mine as per the Haynes manual, what a way to do it. You don't need to take half the bits off according to your video. I've changed one of two bearings, the first one as per the manual, the second one i'm going to do it your way. Great video, wish i'd seen it first before doing the first bearing carrier. Thanks very very much.

Hi, you mentioned "but usually when you start the car and the abs comes on, if it goes out as normal, but comes on when you start moving the wiring will be ok, and the sensors at fault." my one stays on at start up and never goes out, is more likely wiring? ordered a op com so hopefully get code, thanks.

[@aaanton11]

Thanks for watching, I could be your sensor or wiring, I would put my bet on a faulty sensor 👍🏻👍🏻

[@steffst]

Really nice video! Quick question: I touched the break pedal on my Astra H and the ABS fires for about one second then stopped and now the ABS light is continually on. I've never tried a code reader, do you get a code for which sensor is at fault, and do you get a different code if it's the wiring to the sensor that is broken? Cheers

[@aaanton11]

+Steffen Langelo You will get a code for each individual sensor if its faulty, unfortunately it will not say if it’s the wiring of sensor, but usually when you start the car and the abs comes on, if it goes out as normal, but comes on when you start moving the wiring will be ok, and the sensors at fault.

Hi What kind of abs sensor and wheel bearing had you installed? Brand and model? And are you happy with it after installation - meaning any issues or not at all? thanks

I bought them from gsf motor factors, can’t remember what they were, but no problems since fitting, thanks for the great comments 👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@tosneyp]

Hi, If the issue is as per what's explained in your, btw excellent, tutorial.... will the ABS light simply vanish without any intervention? Eg not having to plug something into the car/ECU and clearing the fault? Or would that still need to be done?

[@aaanton11]

Most times the light will go out on its own, but sometimes it will need the codes cleared following the repair, thanks for the great comments 👍🏻👍🏻🛠

Hi aaanton11 we spoke a while ago about the blue clip that the plug is fixed to as you said the blue clip was only there for transit, that clip then was attached to a blue plastic ring that went all the way around on the inside of the hub does that ring have to stay in the hub or does it some how have to be removed sorry to sound stupid but if the plastic ring has to come out of the hub can you tell me how to remove it many thanks for your help.The reason i ask is i got round to doing this job but the abs light is still on but the speedo works fine as with the astra h abs and speedo are in the hub in the left side and the trouble i had was speedo work when it felt like it and abs light is on speedo works fine but abs still on sorry for the long question.

[@aaanton11]

There is a protective cover for transit purposes, but if you removed it there must be another issue, was the drive shaft hub corroded at all this can damage the wires?

[@angelomckenzie6304]

Need to do this job on my Saab 9 3 (basically the same car mechanically). ABS light and traction control light are on the dashboard. Now this might just be common to the Saab, but my car makes a serious grinding noise and you can really feel it through the pedal the first few times you use the brakes! Almost like the brake pads are worn down to the metal but after the dashboard has let of a series of pings to notify you, it all returns to normal ! ( discs and pads are new) I've already swapped out the ABS pump but that didn't improve anything. Did you have a similar experience?

[@aaanton11]

The abs did kick in a few times until the fault light stays on, then its disabled, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@axeevent10]

[@quanahthompson6000]

My 2008 Saturn Astra is producing a Code C1207 which by research is, "DTC C1207 00: Left Front Wheel Speed Sensor Circuit High Input Malfunction". The Check Engine, ABS & Traction Control lights are on and when this sccurs the rear brakes seem to clamp down until the ignition is turned off and started again sometimes a couple times and then the car can move. I have connected my simple Bosch Scanner to the connector & when this occurs, I get the C1207 Code, however when the car is started and the lights are all off, the code is not present. An OHM Meter indicates both front left and right sensors measure 5.22 Mega Ohms. Does my situation seem like it could be resolved with a HUB replacement or should I look further. Thank you for your kindness and Awesome Video!

[@aaanton11]

if the brakes are clamping down until the ignition switched off, it is more likely to be a abs pump/valve issue, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@valleysman1234]

Hi there without being daft when you show the hub the connecter is sitting in a blue lug/clip do you pull this of or snap it out ,or do you leave it there and fit the hub as the hub i have is the same and the blue lug is really stuck there, dont want to pull to hard if it is meant to be there many thanks

The blue clip is just for transit, pop it out👍🏻👍🏻

I had to just snap it off, with way more pressure than I would have expected. It was a pain getting it off. Did yours just ‘pop off’? Mine more like snapped off.

[@valleysman1234]

Hi there mine was the same the amount of pressure i had to put on it without sounding daft i was thinking to myself i must be doing something wrong like you said mine snapped off, when we got the bearing i was thinking what was this clip for, and it had me going and nothing in the box saying what the blue clip was for LOL.

The top bolt just will not come out of its hole behind the bearing. It undoes all the way and then will not come out. It just spins and spins. Any suggestions greatly appreciated please. I have a track day in 2 days time.

[@hotwheels1997]

Hello, can I ask if the sensor only can be changed? I have intermittent signal from the ABS speed sensor which throws a P0500 error code and I'm not sure if it's a new hub job or just a sensor.

[@aaanton11]

The sensor is a part of the bearing you have to replace as a unit, thanks for the great comments 👍🏻👍🏻

[@lululhad7948]

@@aaanton11 have you tried to separate them? The dealership says that you have to buy them as a unit, but all over the internet I can find the abs sensor with the ring (front).

[@1974diversion]

Hi I’ve recently replaced the bearing as the bearing was starting to fail. Since replacing the ABS light is constantly on and was not on before changing the unit. I’ve checked the wiring connection and that seems to be ok. Any ideas?. Thanks

[@aaanton11]

The most Common reason is the drive shaft cv joint end is corroded and when the wheel rotated for the first time after the repair, it will have damaged the new sensor, like I show in the video the clearance is tiny, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@1974diversion]

aaanton11 the AbS light came on soon as I turned the ignition on and did not go out. The car was stationary at the time

[@aaanton11]

Do you have a eobd code reader, you might need to reset the system, also the wiring loom behind the wheel liner tends to corrode on some models its easy to repair, link to code reader, amzn.to/2WY3cB9 , Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

Would the code reader tell you the code if it was just a cable thats failled ..

[@aaanton11]

A code reader would tell you there is a fault, and which wheel the cable has failed, or the sensor has failed, but it will not tell you if it’s the sensor or the cable. It just points you in the right direction 👍🏻👍🏻

I take it this would be the same proces on a zafira b 06 thanks

[@rickhctep1503]

Why not test the sensor first by fitting the wiring plug BEFORE you do all the dismantling by giving it a spin while wired up ?.

[@aaanton11]

If it’s a issue with the pickup ring in the bearing you can’t spin the new bearing to test it, it’s too stiff, thanks for the comments 👍🏻👍🏻

[@davidcoleman2868]

Anton......very useful video. I'm in great need of help. 57 plate 1.4 Astra ABS kicks in under light braking when it shouldn't, with grinding noise. Strange tick tick noise from behind the dash board too. Have replaced brakes, discs, new fluid, ABS ECU, passenger side bearing and still have the same problem. No fault codes on reader and no ABS light showing. I'm at a loss.....if you do read this, I'd be interested in your thoughts. Many thanks. DC

[@aaanton11]

I definitely would be focusing on the abs wheel sensors, or the wiring to the sensors, check the wiring behind the plastic inner front wheel arches, if the connections are corroded or the wire chaffed this would cause the issues, also watch my video on the corsa d rear abs sensor, it has a lot of issues the same as the astra.

When he tells you, it must be torqued up to 150 lbs/ft, so you will need a good torque wrench and some muscle.
