How to replace ABS tone ring?

Performing repair of the wheel hub and transmission, you need to protect the ABS tone ring from hits because it is the most probable reason of the component breakdown. The toothed ring is not restorable, that is why the component is to be replaced in case of defect signs.

The procedure of ABS tone ring replacement depends on its location on the car. The component can be integrated into the wheel hub bearing, or located on the rear part of the hub. To replace the integrated toothed ring, replacement of the hub in assembly will be needed.
