Rear Reluctor Wheel 4x4

[chucks4x4]

Does anyone know how to remove the rear ABS reluctor ring on the MK1 4x4 Galaxy (different to the 2wd) I have an intermittent fault on the rear right sensor, I have ruled out the sensor so now need to check the ring (looks like a similar design to a front CV joint but cannot verify it). I have done the front joints before (split the ball joints etc) but cannot figure out how to remove the rear, none of the manuals I have cover this. I don't want to destroy anything I don't need to :)

Thanks in advance

Ok sorted this, I'll post what I did to solve this in case anyone else has this problem.

1.Unbolted rear drive shaft from diff.

2.Tapped coupling along drive shaft, gave approx 10mm clearence, to enable drive shaft to be seperated from diff & pulled downwards to clear housing.

3.Removed shaft & CV joint from hub.

 

At this point the reluctor ring fell into 3 pieces.

Sourced a new ring, see link.

We then had this pressed onto the coupling.

Replaced the shaft & cancelled the ABS light.

While we did this we also replaced the sensor, as I'd damaged it earlier during diagnosing the problem, but this is not essential.

Hope this helps someone.

Hi,

 

I just gone through a change of the rear wheel reluctor wheel (or ABS ring as it is also called) on my 4x4 from 1999 that has clocked up 17500km.

 

First I must inform everyone that tries to find what reluctor wheel to buy for the rear axle that it is exactly the same as for the front axle.

I bought mine on ebay for around
