98 Expy ABS Wheel Sensor Replacement

My ABS system is intermittently activating on perfectly dry pavement at low speeds. I'd like to replace my ABS wheel sensors but would appreciate some instructions on how to do so. Can anyone help me out? Pics would be awesome if you have them.

THANKS...............

The front sensors are located near the rotors...look for an electrical connector. The rear sensor is on top of the differential...again look for an electrical connector. They are very easy to replace.

Good luck.

The front sensors will require you to remove the rotor and dust shield. The sensor is held in with a allen screw into the front hub. The rear is on top of the differential and held in with one bolt.

I was worried the rotors may need to be removed. I think I've had them replaced at least once and the garage needs to pretty much destroy them to get them off. SO THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO GET THOSE FRONT SENSORS OFF WITHOUT REMOVING THE ROTORS? I replaced the rear sensor not too long ago due to an A4WD issue, so I'm assuming that is fine. Based on my symptoms and what I've read I'm pretty certain I have a front sensor issue.
