Default Tire changing help needed. Abs question

Just got the tire I ordered in today and I was going to hit up the Indy to get it swapped but I have two options, they do it all for "X" amount of money or I bring just the rim and tire and have it done for half that "X" amount. I've never tried a tire change on a model equipped with ABS so I'm afraid I might mess something up. Should I be safe an let the dealer do it or is it no diffrent than a non abs model and I'm worrying for nothing? Thanks guys/gals!!

You're worrying about nothing. There is only a sensor that you remove that would be just like removing a spacer. The encoder is in the bearing, but you're not messing with that.

Just pay attention to what you are doing,like where spacers go.It's not too bad if you have the manel.

Make sure you lay the sensor back in there where it goes and the wires are not in a bind.

Pretty easy front or rear.

to make it that much more easy remove one caliper on the front so when u put the wheel back on u dont have to fight aligning the front wheel to the calipers. and then put the other back on. just my 2 cents.
