Hi, I have a 99 acura integra GS-R with 120,000 miles and the engine is a b16c, I think. Well anyways, I was trying to remove the rear passenger strut (miss reading the mannual where it said remove wheel sensor bracket. I read the part where it said "do not remove wheel sensor" well the strut was being difficult and I push too hard down on the caliper and heared a ripping sound. I notice the wire on the bottom stretched. I knew something wasn't right so I turned on my car and sure enough the abs light was bright as can be. Could I repair this wire and/or how much would a repair like this cost if I took it to a shop? Help :cry:

If you have enough wire coming from the sensor splice in and make sure you stagger it and use a butt connector. Buy a splicing kit with all the goodies in it is dirt cheap compared to when you bring it in for repair.

You already know what the problem is-its okay if you don't know where its coming from then you can bring her in.

You never know what you can do unless you try-

Good Luck, I'll be standing by if needed
