    Big mistake I made . .

    Thought I'd slip one of my rear ABS sensors out of a '95 Odyssey. Two
    bolts, clean and inspect, put back in and check the clearance. Not so.
    Broke the steel plate off, sensor still wouldn't come out. Couldn't even
    get the 'remains' out with a chisel and sledge hammer. Too bad it wasn't
    mounted in a couple of O-rings instead of fitting 'snug'. The rust had
    locked it in there permanently. I finally destroyed it one whack at a
    time (without sacrificing the tone ring) and now I'm shopping for a new
    sensor. Some things mortals should never mess with.

    End of confession :-(

    If it was that corroded, it was probably near failure.

    Not really. . . the part that gets stuck is all made of plastic, the
    shape of a cylinder, but it passed thru a tubular hole in the rear
    knuckle, where the rust surrounds it, locking it in place after a few
    salty years :-(

    P.S. Anybody in North america got a rear-right ABS sensor for a gen 1
    Odyssey? Remove the underscores to reply if you do...

    I'm sure someone does, depending on what years "gen 1" denotes.

    Odyssey? Remove the underscores to reply if you do...
    Generation One was from 1995 thru 1998. I think it was available as
    Isuzu Oasis until 1999

    Anybody know of a wrecking yard that has an Odyssey siting around?
    please contact me. Anywhere in North America would be fine...
