    All safety concerns thrown aside. Take your car to an open lot away from light poles and curbs. Quickly get up to 35 mph and press the brake pedal as hard as you can. If your tires start squeeling, smoking or leave big black mark behind you, you DON'T have ABS. When you slam on the brakes, if your brake pedal feels weird and makes a humming/vibrating noise you have ABS.

    I think looking at your dashboard for the ABS light is a better idea.

    dirt road, or gravel covered roads are so much better for that test. no chance of flat spotting the tires.

    or a dirt shoulder on the side of the road works too.

    To remove center 33" mm nut holding the disk/hub do I go clock wise or counter clock wise?

    counter clock wise.

    put your spare tire on, use only 2 lugs snug, then lower the wheel to the ground, then take the nut off. breaker bar and a pipe will work wonders.

    this will keep you from pulling on the tranny's park pawl.

    or you can see if a socket extension fits in the fins of the rotor, then let it hit the brake caliper bracket.

    Rented a breaker bar/extension from AZ. Worked great! Hub was replaced and the issue was gone. But it looks like one of the rear ones needs replacing too. Thanks!
