I have made a booboo. Why I did this I will never know!
After "chirping" in front CV joint(passengers side), I replaced both sides and on refitting ABS sensor to passenger side I "popped" a pea sized amount of grease on 'hole' before screwing home! (I know, and I put it down to early dementia). Anyway, when all said, I tried to clean out but have been left with ABS light showing (with hill descent and other, following after).
I know how the hub works and wonder if anyone else might admit to doing a similar thing, and have knowledge of solution.
Do you think I could dismantle back to free up the hub, inject brake cleaner or similar to dissolve grease and drain through ABS 'port' to cleanse "fingers" inside hub? Thereby restoring ABS function. I realise ABS will probably need resetting but hope my idiotic impulse to grease my ABS won't require a new hub, at £200.00.
Please help.
