Non abs to abs

[Matt]

I have abs on my car, I've just bought a donor car for all the suspension and rear beam as it has hg failure. 

Can I convert the non abs beam to abs and fit to mine? 
Or how easy is it to remove the abs from mine and make my car a non abs car instead? 

[Connor]

All you have to do is swap you hubs and should be it

[Matt]

You mean that's what's involved to convert mine to non abs?

[Connor]

No you put the abs hubs onto the good beam and keep abs

[maxzy]

If your car already fitted with ABS, You can swap only a pair of Rear hub that difference between non ABS and ABS and fit to your car directly as Connor Said.

But if you need to delete ABS from your car, You may need to change some portion of brake fluid pipe routing (Especially Engine bay)

[Matt]

i guessing that's on a disc beam? Mines a drum beam? Same case?
I have litterally no idea with brakes

[Matt]

Bump. Is a drum beam same procedure? I have no idea, going to be taking a look.

If not can I just remove the abs sensors from front hubs? Or do I have to change the hubs?

Right, you have an ABS equipped car. Removing the ABS from that car is a right old hassle, and more work than it is worth. Removing the sensors from the front hubs will just mean you have your ABS light on all the time and is an MOT failure.

The easiest way to resolve this whole thing is to take the trailing arms from the original beam and put them onto your new beam. You may want to take the opportunity to check the shafts that come off your original beam and the bearings in your new beam to make sure both are good. Replace if necessary. Put it all back together, bleed the system and you should have fully functional brakes and ABS.

If at all unsure, don't f*ck about with things like brakes. Get it to someone who knows.

well might be changing the front hubs now anyway, going to swap over my driveshafts from lower millage ones so may aswell keep them attached to the hubs and swap them. then im sticking on the non abs beam, and the engine is getting ripped out too now haha
