...and changed back to the old one again.

The new one from Rimmer Bros says "Aftermarket" on it. I don't know if that is relevant since they must all be aftermarket by now.

Anyway, the braking was perfect before, but the ABS & Traction lights would stay on after the first start of the day. About a half hour later a restart would clear that up. This new sensor made the brakes do the scraping and grabbing thing.

The sensor was incredibly easy to change - bolt out (easy) and just pull/twist/pull and it was out. There was a bit of rust on the bearing/hub, but not so much. After the first fail, the rust was cleaned up with spray and a wire brush, but no improvement. So, old sensor back in and it is fine going forward, but a bit rough now when braking in reverse.

Is there some trick to these new sensors? I seem to recall someone filing the underside of the bolt flange to allow the sensor to sit a bit deeper.

Does any of this ring a bell with anyone or do I just send the sensor back to Rimmer Bros for a refund?

Thanks,
Glenn
