ahh. so it's a physical thing. the 3 jaw puller back a few posts would pull it it without messing up the tone ring?

am I correct and the tone ring is abs? how does it hook up
The tone ring is simply a ring with notches. The ABS sensor mounts to the axle housing and senses the pulses made by the tone ring as it spins.

Wholly guacamole, that’s a job. I took it for granted on what was involved when a service contract paid to replace the seals on the rear axle plates of our past Denali. Tools, experience and time. Can’t skimp on any of it. Thanks for the pics and details guys.

Came across this thread looking for tips on this exact job. Everything went smoothly, axle is reassembled.

I could see how a 65mm bearing driver would crush the tone ring - so I found something to take up a little more space. A 2.75” Milwaukee hole saw fit nicely, with the 65mm driver inside.
