Wheel Sensor Sealant - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Hammer · 11-22-2006

I have installed a new rear wheel hub assembly and in the Service Manual there is a part number reference to a sealant that needs to be applied when reinstalling the speed sensors in the housings. I don't have the part number available as I am at work. Can anybody tell me what this sealant is equal to at a regular parts store?

Thanks

I would guess a dab of grease would do it.

I actually ended up using dielectric grease. It felt kinda sticky, just like the stuff that I cleaned off the sensor. Also Googled the GM Part #12345489 and came up with a thread on the zr1registry (at the Vette Museum) that recommended the dielectric grease. It worked.
