04 grand vitara rear drum removel

Post by barryj75 » Sat May 24, 2014 11:27 pm

my 2.0 Vitaras abs light is on, had the codes read and have 1 front and 1 rear sensor off, so I have bought a complete set. I changed the front no problem but the rears are a different matter. I have tried all ways to remove the rear drums but cant, also I cant seem to fine where the wire for the wire for the rear abs

As they are in the axle I would say yes.
The manual says to test them with an oscilloscope :shock: , like we all have one of those :D
It does give resistance readings in case you want to keep the good ones for spare.
