ABS/ ESP / tyre presure issue

[Pesky jones]

Yeah ive driled the t30 bolt out.

The disc and hub does now move freely, since ive undone the m18. My problem now is undoing the m14s. So hard to get a decent angle. Im trying with all types of extenders etc. I dont think I can undo them with dazzas approach because my m14 bit is too long and I cant get the breaker bar into it. This would be so much easier or a lift! Grr

Can you jack it up any higher? How much higher would it need to be to get your breaker bar on it.

[Pesky jones]

No cant jack it any further, ive got it pretty high. I got the breaker underneath it and it just about takes torque before it hits the floor lol

Im going to try for another hour or so then give up :( have to take it to a garage.

Try to use the shortest extension you can if no one is pushing the the bit into the bolt for you!

If you've got the height off the ground,you'll get In just keep at it  - but if you've not height then just build it back up cause I've never had a easy one to do on a drive yet! Then you can reorganise your access height and return to it knowing most of the job is pre-prepped and complete it then.

turn the socket m18 around to suit???

[Pesky jones]

Thanks for all your help guys, really appreciate you taking the time to help but im afraid it has beaten me. Going to try get a garage to do the work :( so fustrating that it was just two bolts away from being done.

[r5gtt]

make sure you tighten it all back up as I've heard some sorry stories about wheels falling off .

[Pesky jones]

I couldn't find torque settings for the caliper bolts but ive done them up really tight. The wheels I did to 120 nm and the hub bolt 200 nm which is what the haynes manual says

@maxitrol thats really kind of you but im about 100 miles away! Thanks anyway

Don't give up. What length breaker were you trying to use? Maybe you can get a slightly smaller bar.

Firstly well done on your efforts!

I think the same as Dazza above or just get more height and give yourself time and you'll do it!

[Pesky jones]

Ah I would like to but I dont have the time! Im going to r-tech on friday and really should get it done before then. Thanks for your help again

Rear hub replaced (30mm inner shaft diameter)

So far, it seems all problems have been solved. As mentioned earlier in thread, the hub contains a bearing, and the bearing has a magnetic strip which a sensor reads off. The connection between the two affects ABS, ESP, tyre pressure and speed readings. The magnetic strip can corrode over time which affects the readings from the sensor. New hub = new bearing = new magnetic strip = problem solved.
