Hub Bearing

I have a suspension from a 1986 I am using in another car. Does anyone know the difference between the hub bearings between an 86 and 93? It looks like the sizes are identical the only difference I see is the ABS sensors are different which I don't need so I was thinking of removing it. Will this work or would I be exposing the back of the bearing when I remove the ABS sensor.

Thanks
Mike

The hubs are the same and should fit. I have no idea about the ABS stuff though.

Sizes are identical, as ejscarfo said, but good point about the ABS sensor. If it opens up the rear, you could always fabricate a plug for the sensor hole.

I thought of cutting the wires flush to the sensor and reinstalling it in the knuckle to plug the hole.

Sounds good to me, as long as you don't mind mauling an ABS sensor. If that's a concern, maybe just cut the wires 2" long so you can re-connect them if necessary.
