Should take about 15 minutes.

It screws into the top of the differential in the center of the axle housing, up on top where the brake-lines are bolted down..

Just disconnect the wire, unscrew the nut from the stud. lift the lines off the stud, then unscrew the stud out of the axle housing. Pull out the sensor and replace.

Screw the stud back in, replace the lines, and screw the nut back down.

However, road-salt and other sources of rust could complicate that a bit...

Thanks I will be doing it in the morning luckily here in fla we dont have a need for much road salt.

True, but you'll get it if you live within a mile or two of the coast. Atleast you do here in CA. People that live (literally) on the coast just watch their cars rust.

We get lots of heavy fogs, and they will pick up some salt, and the breakers will toss salt into the air. Often see a white residue from the salt on cars that have been parked for a few days near the ocean.

I'm way up in the hills, about 30 minutes from the coast, so it's no worries for me.
