ABS sensor wire replacement

has anyone replaced an ABS wheel speed sensor on these trucks? is it a straight forward job? any tips? tricks?

my passenger front needs to be replaced. It was rubbing against the tire and got worn through yesterday. I have ABS, hill decent, advance trac, and another fault.

I just had new tires installed (smaller than I was running), but I have no way to prove it was the shops fault. I also have extended front brake lines for my lift which have a bit more play in them than the factory, which the abs line is attached to. who know when it started rubbing. I have checked them several times and never saw an issue

Unplug it at the body end and unbolt it from the hub assembly. You'll need to pull the wheel, caliper and rotor for the hub end. The dealership should be able to get the wire. Lots of places will say it comes with a new hub.

Wire is $22 from dealer, won't be here until Tuesday. Just going to have dealer do it.

There are so many faults and issues connected to the ABS. I have lost traction control, hill decent, rear park aid, and adaptive steering.

The adaptive steering is the biggest issue. My steering wheel is off center now and there are many more turns going lock to lock
