Can anyone advise whats involved in changing these on an 850 and how long it will take - and is it particularly tricky?
Cheers

Fairly simple job first thing to do
1.Remove wheel centre cap
2.put hand brake on and slacken hub nut off
3. put car on stands
4. remove brake discs, calipers, wish bone ball joint and track rod end
5.remove hub nut and take hub off this might take a little doing or use a puller
6. you will then see the ring remove ring and clean surface
7. put new ring on there a little tight so use the old ring against it and tap it squarley untill its in place.
8 reversal of above

For some one who hasnt done it before ide say 2hrs per side depending on how easy you find the hub to split

Thanks Pete
Hope I dont have to. code read said intermittent fault with LH Fornt ABS sensor - the one I replaced. So its either reluctor ring or (more likely due to intermittent nature of fauilt) a wiring fault or bad soldering on the ABS ECu.

Hoiwever, I aint so scared of the job now if I have to change a reluctor ring. Seems they are only a £5 or so.

More urgent probs today with the IAC to throttle body hose discombobulating itself under boost.
