   Given that a qualified tech has inspected and diagnosed a bad ABS (wheel speed sensor) you must first know wich of the four is bad. To replace the speed sensor:
   FRONT LEFT AND RIGHT
   1 lift the side of the car that has the defective sensor and support it so it does not fall.
   2 remove the front tire, brake caliper, pads, and rotor.
   3 disconnect the speed sensor electrical connector.
   4 unbolt and remove the speed sensor, this may require some penatrant lube, and twisting force. DO NOT BRAKE IT OFF in the hole. you may pry on it with a small prybar or screw driver but be polite, they can become brittle.
   5 instell the new sensor and torque the retaining bolt to 8 newton meters/ 71 inchpounds.
   6 reconnect the electrical connector.
   7 assemble the rotor, caliper and pads, and tire.
   8 lowerw the saturn back to the ground.
   9 clear the abs codes (if nesessary)
   REAR
   pretty much the same prosses and torque value but there is a grommet in the rear backing plate of the brakes you must put the wiring harness through.

   Are you sure that you need a sensor? was it diagnosed?
