BMW E90 318d (2009) ABS Reluctor Ring replacement

- This video describes the replacement of the ABS reluctor ring on a BMW E90. Due to rust on the drive shaft, the ring expands and rubs off the sensor which starts to give faults. This happened on my RH reluctor ring and was repaired by a dealer. When it happened on the LH ring I decided to research and fix it myself.

one of the best tutorials I've ever seen on CZcams. really clear, no bs and good pace. 10/10
Thank you
Amazing video! You have really understood what people want from a tutorial and delivered excellently! Thank you Bill!
Thanks Bill, really solid guide. Appreciated.
Excellent tutorial Bill, succinct and only useful information 👍
Great video and i love how you actually showed what tools and steps there are. Love chrisfix but i feel he's shaking over this
Good video to the point not too much talking. Thank you sir and kindest regards.
Awesome, you are the only one I know who takes on this kind of thing, great video!!
Very good video, great detail in the clip 👍
Great tutorial, thanks a million 👊
Awesome guide. Thankyou
I have a 2005 320i (E46) with the 2.2 litre six cylinder engine. I want to replace the ABS sensor rings, however any source that sell those rings lists the 323,328 and farther up the model line. I'd like to know if the rings listed for the 323 etc will also fit the E46 model 320i.
Great video Bill
Thank you
Thanks allot for this super vid .Helps me verry to understand the Problem 👍👍👍😀
Should you grease the drive shaft splines before reinstalling? We had one completely rusted and frozen in the hub.
Painting the shaft wouldn’t have made much of a difference. When you hammer the new ring on, the paint will scratch anyway.
Thanks for the video and info about the tools needed. 👍

@bill ebrill when the light flickers, does the car also break shortly?
Great thanks. That rust was bad under the reluctor ring. I have been putting off doing mine for some time.
Yes, rust grows well here. I regret not putting a rust proof coating before putting it back. Good luck when you get around to it.
@@billebrill8730 Yes thanks, try a little spray with some lithium grease
Hey Bill, would this fit a 2008 323I ?
Very good Bill without the music and bull .I hope my problem is the relater ring.Lost doc ,abs etc, seems to be a LR issue
Great video thanks.
thank you
Very helpful video. Thank you!
Would be great to know which exact Universal Puller Set was used (so many different ones on amazon)
ahh.. seems like "CV Axle Shaft Puller / Wheel Bearing Hub Installer Kit - Bavarian Autosport" was used.
Thank you. I bought on eBay - "7pc Drive Shaft Puller Service Socket Set**M16 - M30**Vag**VW**BMW**Merc**" a few places do them. The place I bought it from are out of stock I see others doing it.
Hi there... Is there any place in Dublin where I can get this puller.. I was replacing my E90's reluctor ring using a sledge hammer and I damaged the spline of the shaft
Thanks for the video. What sensor do you recommend or what have you used? How do they behave? Thank you.
My sensor had been marked by the expanding reluctor ring but still worked fine so I did not replace it. The BMW part number for my 2009 318d sensor is 34526762466. It operates as a single channel sensor with current output of 7ma and 14ma for measuring rotational speed. See my other video.
Where did you get that puller tool that you used to install the shaft? Have looked around for something like it but to no avail. Thanks!
Use this search on eBay '7pc Drive Shaft Puller Service Socket Set**M16 - M30**Vag**VW**BMW**Merc**'
Great Stuff 👍
Thanks
is this one side or both rear wheels? Thanks Im about to embark I was wondering if they had rings on both sides so I need to buy one or two?
This is one side. Both sides have them. It is how they tell if one wheel is slipping. I had the other side done by a dealer and it cost me €1,200 because they replaced the full half shaft. That is why I did the second one myself.
You do not put grease/wax on the whole ring after installing?
I should have. It was my one regret. Any water repellent would do.
Where did you buy those special tools for bolts? Thank you.
I bought puller here - www.ebay.ie/itm/282105048992?hash=item41aec56fa0:g:wCoAAMXQL99Sczue&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAA4K1pQqN8dV8hoMSDHC0%2B5%2BF%2Fkr5wpMJe9VnmSg8BodrQN7aZ6hJjjO%2B8Z0diyFRxXIGe3SrRnDdyRGElAnkSbvTWFc7lWYsSjAXM5IpL4S1UVokczoLFPoyX5qrJI6MqUx58mRXg9vX620GVaV54CWYEW45l7jKbx%2FbdZCm7BBDO1X7PuSiCvxxDHDOPnk0VRZVXZVh3tbnzgGnjwO98IYQF%2Bvh16fXuDnXD0ZlE2IO9wTGG7jvMrgAzisap2k2MrsE%2B%2BHdfXaXiXr6WxGqkG2IPmz710ZpEpWUjixEx8sPM%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR86F_-PPYQ
Bill, do you have a link for the axel puller set?
This is the one I bought:- www.ebay.ie/itm/7PC-Drive-Shaft-Puller-Extractor-Set-for-BMW-Mercedes-Benz-VAG/353205088947?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

You're welcome
Where did you get the universal puller set I can’t find one on eBay
I can see about five on eBay UK using using this search "7pc Drive Shaft Puller Service Socket Set**M16 - M30**Vag**VW**BMW**Merc**"
But why do you remove the driveshaft? Why not just do it while it’s on the car? Any good reasoning? Other than it being more «available”?
Apart from not being able to access the ring, a new ring cannot be fitted with the wheel bearing and wheel mounting in the way. Removing those is a far bigger job than taking out the half shaft which is relatively easy.
How easy was it to do it with the bearing puller??? I might invest because I have to do this job in the coming days 👍🏻
I needed both pullers but they worked well. Check you can remove the hub nut as that can be a show stopper, and invest in a BMW part when putting back .Depending on which side you do the exhaust hanger has to be unhooked.
@@billebrill8730 wow I hadn’t factored in removing the nut, i looked at it this evening and sprayed it with wd40 in preparation, I have a brand new nut and reluctor ring for it, I’ll grab those extra tools tmoro and it should be ok then
How did you find out which one needed replacing?
The right hand one had gone previously and I paid a dealer to find the fault and fix it. It cost €1,200 because they replaced the whole shaft. So knew it was most likely to be the left hand one. I did buy a scanner Creator C310+ which allowed me to see the feedback from each wheel and I could see errors on the left hand one.
@@billebrill8730 Thanks 🙂 👍
Brush the splines with grease using an old toothbrush next time. It will make future removals a breeze.
Where did you get the new ring? Thanks.
Am away from home. Will send a link later in the week. I got it from an Irish eBay seller. It cost about €5

@@billebrill8730 Thank you very much!
@@billebrill8730 I did this repair and the lights all went out after I drove about 30 feet. They stayed off for days. I thought I had been successful, but every now and then the ABS, Traction control lights come back on, just until a restart. Then they always clear them selves agsin. The problem has no pattern, such as going over a bump or something, just cruising at a steady speed, smooth road. And only happens once in a while. Any ideas how I should fix the issue? Thanks for everything.
@@billebrill8730 Thank you!!!!
😇
How long does a job like this take?
I suppose about three hours if all goes well. I was in no hurry as I was videoing it. I had it done by lunchtime. I did rehearse some parts. I loosened the hub nut and replaced it a couple of days before as that would have been a showstopper and checked all spanner sizes and access.
@@billebrill8730 ah okay thanks, thats awesome and smart to go over it and do all that before hand to make the job easier lol. I still havent bought proper tools to work on these cars yet, dropped it off my at mechanic he had it done around that time aswell, $160 total lol
The first one, at a dealer, cost me about $1,300 so buying the tools was a no brainier for the second one!
Step 1: remove abs sensor,
Step2: insert a new abs sensor with an thin spacer (max 0,7mm)
Done
Works for 12000km now
Of corse is your solution the better one… but if the car is very old and only 2k worth… my solution is the better one 😝
Agreed, if you watched my other video I showed how to do that. I used it as a temporary fix but did not need to replace the sensor.
