Tonyrodz's Tahoe Build Thread

Well @Tonyrodz?

All done.
I had to get me an air hammer from HF.
Literally took 2 mins and it was off! HALLELUJAH!!
Well worth whatever I paid for it. I also installed a new cv ds axle. Weird thing--the brake maintenance light went off, but the abs light is still on. I tried to clear the codes but they just kept coming back. Next step is to swap out the ps sensor--and take it from there.

Congrats on a job well done. Checked all the wiring for the sensors?

Thx Ron. I didn't really check the wiring. The hub came with a brand new sensor, so I just plugged it in. I had bought a new replacement sensor about a month ago for the ds, so I'll just swap that to the ps side. If I still have the abs light on I'll just go from there. Hopefully it'll be as simple as that--HOPEFULLY.

Check as much of the wiring, past the connector, as you can. Did you also check the sensor and wiring at the rear: https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=10047632&cc=1412233&pt=1912&jsn=1039

Great! And you have a nearly indispensable tool now. Next to a torch and impact wrench that is a rust belt mechanics best friend. I knew it would work.

What did you do, use the flat chisel from the sides going around it?

Exactly. Didn't take long. I was beating it so hard with the mini sledge I was bending the metal and it still wasn't budging.
