My 1994 Front ABS sensors are replaced with the front hub assembly. The rears are held in by a nut.

So you have to replace the front hub to change the sensor?

But what to replace it with? I was told it can come out hard and you end up destroying the sensor so, how to do that?

The front hub and sensor are sold together as 1 unit. Wouldn't matter if you break the old one. Should be just 4 bolts that hold on the hub. Why are you changing them?

I am looking just in case I need to change them. I have a the ABS engaged light come on very easily and yesterday an ABS warning light came on. So before I tear into it, I need to know if a sensor is failed, where to find the right one.

There seems to be some front sensors for sale and I am not sure if they are correct if the hub and front sensor comes together. As to the rear, if it doesn't come out easy and has to be thrown away, now what?

My '94 ABS is coming on just about every time I stop, towards the end around 10-5 mph. Most forums I've read so far, blames a bad or contaminated sensor. You might also want to look at the wires and connectors for corrosion. Since it's a seal unit, I don't think the front ones will get dirty. Check the back first, you might be able to WD-40 it and then try turning it clockwise or counter clockwise first. Mine were stuck and that's how I got it out. It was full of metal shavings, but once I clean it off, no changes in my situation, just might be bad. So I'll changed those out first. Won't get to it til next week, so I'll let you know how that goes.

I think there may be some confusion (mine or others). The ABS sensor AFAIK is the wire with the sensor tip that bolts into the respective hub (which is not available new AFAIK). The hub on the other hand has the 'wheel' that's read by the sensor and is part of the hub assembly.

Be careful trying to take the sensor out of the hub. I haven't tried it but looks like it could be easy to break if not careful and they are not available new AFAIK.
