    ABS Wheel Hub Bearing Assemblies worth anything?

    Hello, I will introduce myself as a new member here. I am a mechanic who works on large diesel/biogas gensets for my full time job and do alot of automotive repairs on the side out of the garage. I have been accumulating various pieces from both of my lines of work and was curious as this pile of wheel hub bearing assemblies I have accumulating. These are the sealed units that contain the bearing and ABS components. Has anyone broken one of these apart? Are they worth anything more then just steel scrap? Thank you for any advice offered.

    If ABS sensor is good and removable may have value on Ebay. Other wise snip the wires and save seperate. Bearing & hub no more value broken down than complete as scrap. Other uses for low speed applications. Tires and wheels or space saver spares that fit the wheel hubs, weld or bolt to an existing or homemade frame for a HD easy to roll two wheel cart. Add them to your torch cart lots easier to roll especially outside.

    Hubs would go as heavy iron.
