All pd ABS Reluctor Rings are engineered to precise tolerances on advanced production lines, accurately made for first-time fitting, offering consistently high levels of performance and durability...........

FIT AND FORGET!!

UK Parts Direct have generated this short guide to aid you in the fitment of our ABS Rings.

There are three main types of ABS Reluctor Ring. The process of fitment differs slightly for each of these, so for your ease our guide covers all types.

Toothed Type ABS Ring

Approximate Fitting Time - 60-90 Minutes per ring

1) Generally there is no need to remove the driveshaft from the vehicle, this process can be achieved in situ.

2) Firstly, you need to remove the old reluctor rings from the driveshaft / CV joint by drifting them off (take care not to damage the unit).

3) Clean the driveshaft / CV joint using a wire brush to remove all loose corrosion.

4) Apply heat to the reluctor ring to allow it to expand (placing in the oven or the use of a heat gun is generally sufficient). DO NOT HEAT CHERRY RED! as some of our competitors suggest.

5) Using suitable gloves, position the new reluctor ring and drift into place.

6) Allow unit to completely cool before moving unit.

7) You have now successfully fitted your new reluctor ring.

Band / Hole Type ABS Ring

Approximate Fitting Time - 60-90 Minutes per ring

1) Generally there is no need to remove the driveshaft from the vehicle, this process can be achieved in situ.

2) Firstly, you need to remove the old reluctor rings from the driveshaft / CV joint by drifting them off (take care not to damage the unit)

3) Clean the driveshaft / CV joint using a wire brush to remove all loose corrosion.

4) Not always necessary, but if required, apply heat to the reluctor ring to allow it to expand (placing in the oven or the use of a heat gun is generally sufficient). DO NOT HEAT CHERRY RED! as some of our competitors suggest.

5) Apply a thin layer of loctite (or similar) around the driveshaft where the reluctor ring will be situated.

6) Drift the new reluctor ring into place.

7) Allow to cure before moving unit.

8) You have now successfully fitted your new reluctor ring.

Magnetic Type ABS Ring

Due to the delicate nature of the Magnetic reluctor rings, we recommend the use of the UK Parts Direct Fitting Tool for mounting. This tool kit also contains full fitting instructions.
