2011 civic lx(auto) speed sensor replacement.
Can't find any good images/info on replacing vehicles speed sensor, I located 2 identical sensors, one facing up and one facing sideways closer to driver side of vehicle(both secured with a 10mm bolt). I believe Su11014 and Su11020 are the correct replacement parts, can anyone explain which is which? Also after unbolting part would turn but I couldn't pull it out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: 2011 civic lx(auto) speed sensor replacement.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

One reports input shaft speed (drivers side), the other reports output shaft speed.
Is there a fault code?
Fault code combined with a good wiring diagram (accurate wire colors) would be how I differentiate each sensor if I don't have any other guide.
Each sensor has an O ring that can make it tough to just pull out, they always seem to put up a fight--especially in the salt and rust belt. I'd shoot some spray lubricant (maybe silicone lube) around the edge of the sensor in hopes it will reach that O ring and help it slide, but that's just a hope LOL.....
Twist and lift.
Don't break the top of the sensor off, that would ruin your week for sure.
