    Anyone know if I can replace the ABS/speed sensor bolt on the hub knuckle? The part of the ABS sensor that connects to the hub knuckle via the bolt is broken, but I can replace that. But the bolt has also been cut. My guess is a cowboy did it as the nut had seized. Other than replacing the whole knuckle, can I replace just the bolt, or is it welded to the knuckle?

    Well if somebody cut the bolt or broke the boat then you have a piece in the hub which is that big aluminum thing that has houses to bearing. Then you've either got to center punch that and try to drill it out I use backwards drill bits so that if they catch it might grab what's left of it and run it right out with the drill bit if not it puts a hole in it generally you're okay then you can chase the threads with a thread chasing tool apply a new sensor grease up a little bolt I think it's 6 mm and apply it until it just touches the plastic of the sensor no reason to squeeze on it very tight or anything this is not going to work its way loose believe me.
