I'd imagine the ring is heat shrunk onto the shaft, if he heats it up it should drop off.
99.98% pointless on a car exclusively used on the road.
Edit: Have I completely mis understood that reply, and it was directed at the switched ABS comment?
I think so!
I've just replaced some ABS rings on a clio
they just tap off with a punch
new rings are a couple of quid from ebay
what year and engine ?
mine is a 2000 W 172
I was told that the rings are part of the drive shaft. If they are not that is excellent news.
What?
I'm really not sure thats correct at all, the whole point of ABS is it uses the individual wheel speed sensors to monitor the rotation of each individual tyre, under braking once that tyre exceeds its maximum traction level the system pulses the brakes till the wheel regains braking traction, the system is checking the wheel speed sensors constantly so it knows how much power to apply to the brakes, provided you keep constant pressure on the brake pedal the ABS system will do the rest.
If the system worked as you've stated above it would be pointless, furthermore it goes against all my experiences of ABS in countless cars.
bit long winded, ive got a '92 16v with a 1*2 engine in it.
I'm using 172 rear brakes, but i've swapped the rear 172 abs rings for mk1 front abs rings. Fronts are removable according to Renault themselves and the rears are not meant to be, but they both are!
You can tap the rings off rear mk1 and mk2 brakes and front mk1 cv joints. I'm fairly sure you can just tap them off front 172 cv joints too.
hope that sort of makes sense
:edit yes, looks like they tap off to me: http://s110.photobucket.com/albums/n113/f0xy_2006/-- The MK1/IMG_6148.jpg
