ok I've managed to snap the ebs ring on the rear of my 2002 sti while removing a stuck disc. Anybody managed to stick one back together successfully with araldite / superglue or similar? or is this a stupid idea? cheers Andy

The only problem is, no breakers will strip down a hub just to give you an ABS ring. Brand new they`re silly money. I ended up buying 2 complete, used hubs and struts to sort my TWO broken ones!!

Yep I've managed to repair one for a customer who refused to pay around £122 for the new ring and a then a new bearing on top.
They weld up very easily just make sure you keep it 2mm off the sensor and you'll be fine its a fiddly job but it's possible and in situ I may add.
to replace it you'd be looking at a new bearing seals & hub nut and possibly a tie bolt and you'd need to press out the hub flange and replace the ring then press it back into the hub but it's recommended replacing the bearing at the same time.

Hi Andy,
Just a Mig with the std copper type wire and argoshield gas, just make sure theres no oil or grease on the ring when you weld it. I did tack it first then manipulate it to get the clearance for the sensor. no need to remove anything. then just weld it ontop.
just make sure not to fill any of the recesses with weld otherwise you'll get a false reading..
