Just replaced my ABS speed sensors and hub bearing assemblys on my 1997 Blazer it has the 1st gen design with the sensor on the backing plate, after replacing the sensors and hubs I notice that the sensor rubs/grinds on the driver side on the hub sensor ring I can't seem to move the backing plate away from the ring to stop the rubbing/grinding noise i'm now hearing, would i be able to gently pry up on the sensor to get it off of the ring and stop the noise or would that damage the sensor?

any thoughts or advice would really help thank you

 

can you space the sensor away from the ring. alot of times they have washers that are made for those wires alot of times they even come from the factory, but im thinking of more of the newer ones where the wire is in the bearing itself

 

Well I was able to pry the sensor up a bit to stop it from rubbing, my problem now is that the backing plate seems to rub but only on the driver side, passenger side went together perfectly only had to pry on the sensor a little and the backing plate doesn't rub at all. I did the exact same thing on both sides, when i took everything apart I didn't notice any spacers or i would have put them back in

 

Was just thinking that it might be a worped rotor, it was my first thought but I did the front pads and rotors only 4 weeks ago so I ruled it out but now I'm not sure, I'm going to check after I get off of work
