850 ABS Control Module Removal

ld0595 · Sep 25th, 2022, 22:20

Hi all,

I've got my MOT fast approaching on my 850 and I'm becoming increasingly aware that my ABS and TRACS light is on more often than it isn't. I've tried the credit card trick which worked for last year's MOT but it's really time the ABS control module to be removed and repaired since I doubt it'll behave enough to pass its MOT.

I tried making a start on removing the module a few months back but had difficulty removing the bolts. I'm worried that the bolt heads are slightly stripped. Managed to get one out but the others weren't budging.

Can anyone offer advice on how best to remove it? I'm going to have another stab at removing the bolts but I'm not sure where I can go from there if that fails. My mechanical knowledge is quite limited so I'm trying to avoid anything too complex! Alternatively, any suggestions on places in the Glasgow area I can visit that can help with removing it would be fantastic (and approx. costs too!). Ideally southside but I'm happy to travel if need be.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.
