ABS Bearing ID

Just installed AE front tire. Marked rotation on rotor before disassemble. Got tire installed on rim and ready to put on. BUT- Yellow dot is on left side? This makes me think I screwed up! And I can’t identify ABS bearing to double check. It’s a grey color compared to black on non- ABS side. That damn yellow dot caused doubt. Any help?

I don`t understand, you say you marked the direction of a rotor before disassembly, so what is the issue?

You need to put the wheel back on with that rotation mark pointing in the correct direction.

All done per above. Yellow dot made me second guess myself. Never have seen yellow dot on left side. So wanted to double check work by IDing ABS side

Make sure that the tire "is" installed on the rim for proper rotation per the arrow on the tire. Different tire brands may have the dot on the opposite side.
