___ Do ABS sensors get rusted in place, OR WHAT ! ! !
Big mistake I made . .
Thought I'd slip one of my rear ABS sensors out of a '95 Odyssey. Two bolts, clean and inspect, put back in and check the clearance. Not so. Broke the steel plate off, sensor still wouldn't come out. Couldn't even get the 'remains' out with a chisel and sledge hammer. Too bad it wasn't mounted in a couple of O-rings instead of fitting 'snug'. The rust had locked it in there permanently. I finally destroyed it one whack at a time (without sacrificing the tone ring) and now I'm shopping for a new sensor. Some things mortals should never mess with. End of confession :-( 'Curly' |

If it was that corroded, it was probably near failure. Texas Parts Guy |

Anybody in North america got a rear-right ABS sensor for a gen 1 Odyssey? Remove the underscores to reply if you do... 'curly' |

I think it was available as Isuzu Oasis until 1999 Anybody know of a wrecking yard that has an Odyssey siting around? please contact me. Anywhere in North America would be fine...
