You have to follow the wires going to the hubs, then remove/clean/reinstall the sensors.

Adding to joey's directions . Be careful prying or pulling them out. Check the end of it for cracks. Hopefully they did not destroy them whilst reassembling after installing new bearings. Push all the way back in and they will reseat themselves. Ps: sometimes one may think a mechanic has done something wrong and in fact though suspicious you May find that there is another cause. Maybe the front spindle housings have no oil I'm them and the front sensors are not working. Would not be the first time I've seen this happen. The lite will stay on when this happens. You may not have to pull them out just push them in if they go in more than say eight inch that will do it.

At each wheel, you'll (your mech) see a sensor cable disappearing into the brake ass'y.

the small hub fitting where it enters can be tapped on (hit small open end wrench w/hammer) to drive the sensor into it's wheel (that resets clearance).

This method is in the land rover service manual. Any good mechanic should understand this concept.

Upon driving, the reluctor ring in the wheel will push the sensor back to proper clearance.

This may/may not be the reason for your ABS light, but it's very common.

(My light's been on for over 4yrs. but brakes work great) - That doesn't mean your's are OK. tho'

****, I just read above, sorry. I'm not going to waste all this fingerpecking tho'

LOL

luck,greg
