Default How replace front wheel abs sensor in a Camaro 1997?

I haven't found any solution how to replace front wheel abs sensor in a Camaro 1997. Other cars I have change the sensors is looked with a nut, but this one seems to be in one piece with the parts to the wheel. Looking forward to your answer and pics. Thank you!

Thank you for answer. Yes, I did find out that you have to buy the complete hub. Hm, how was GM thinking, most other cars can change sensor without replacing the whole wheel hub.

They where thinking they don't care as long as it is easy to assembly on the line and they don't care as long as they make out of warranty.

Don't buy the cheap wheel bearing if you plan on keeping the car, they will not last. I have seen them throw codes when brand new. I have seen them last a week and a month. Most shops will not install the really cheap ones because they know when they fail in less then 90 days your going to forget all the warnings and just blame them. I even broke my own rule when I replaced my daughters. We knew they car was gone in less then a year. I had to replace them both in 3 months because of the ADS system.

You are looking for. SKF,, NTN,, NTK,,Timkin and Moog..... These are real bearing manufactures and you are most likely getting real bearing steel held to the correct tolerances.

I had to replace a rear wheel brake sensor on my wife's Hyundai. It cost $125 for a genuine Hyundai part. An entire hub for my 98 Trans Am is $112 for a Moog part at Rockauto including shipping.

These are the China made ones that will most likely not make it to winter.

Oh boy, I assumed that. Already shipped to Sweden. Any idea where to get better parts (with decent shipping costs)?
