    A number of things were not mentioned:
    1) VITAL THAT THE BEARING MAGNETIC side is facing INBOARD.
    2) The fixing of the ABS pick up sensor ring , ie does it go in befor bearing
    or is it attached after bearing pressed in?
    3) THE SENSOR RING CONNECTION , should be at 35deg to vertical
