ABS Pump Motor Fix (Pesky ETS ABS CEL)
After searching up here and not really finding the information I needed I did some research via YouTube and other MB forums and came across some information that I thought was valuable to this common problem. Since I didn't want to spend 750 on a new abs pump or 250 to have it repaired, I decided to do it myself for under 20 bucks. So I I took of the motor with no problem and removed the housing. Now my dilemma is I don't know which bearing to remove
. The instructions I've read doesn't say but my guess would be the bearing the one at the top of the shaft but again I don't wont to remove the wrong one so I figured why not reach out to world of MB lol. Any help would be much appreciated.

Why replace something that isn't broken? In that sense, I should just buy a brand new ABS Pump, I don't know about you but I don't have 1400 just laying around to replace something that still works.

He's talking about the bearings. And replace the brushes while you are at it.

Oh lol that's the whole purpose of me taking the abs motor off. To replace the bushings and top bearing. The bearing at the end with the magnetic piece doesn't need replacing. The worn bushing is what causes the abs motor to malfunction.
