I think your seeing the way the caliper bracket is machined. Look at the thickness of the bracket in the front and at the axle.

I was able to get it together this morning - without issue.
Stop and think for a minute, in order for the ABS sensor to work where does it need to be? The answer should be right up next to the ABS encoded bearing. On the right side of ABS equipped models, the sensor IS the spacer so it goes bearing - sensor - caliper bracket. And there is a small notch/stop on the bracket for the sensor to butt up against so it doesn't spin. Photo from underneath.
Hey P51, I have a couple of Q's for ya.
That notch, does it fit into a groove on the caliper or just butted up against it?
Also, the side that faces out on the ABS bearing; is it the plastic-y side with "Eff Ay Gee" (LOL) on it or the metallic side? I think the manual says the green side, but, eff me if I'm not colorblind! I tried to match it best I could, the way it came off, by memory. I didn't take a pic because that side was fine. I only replaced it because I had already bought new bearings and that ABS one isn't cheap.
I recently tracked down a small wobble to the blown out left-rear bearings. I replaced them both with new HD ones. Now I'm getting the flashing ABS too. After the fist commute to/from work, I loosened the axle, rotated the WSS (counter-clockwise) to rest against the caliper, just as my front does, and it's still flashing.
Anyways, old pot, I know. Hit me back whenever you get a chance.
