Default 2001 SS broken wheel speed sensor

Well, when I was lowering my car I accidentally broke the front left wheel speed sensor. Because of that I now have no ABS or ASR, and those annoying yellow lights are always on. I called the dealership to try and get a new sensor, and they said that I would have to buy a whole new hub to replace that sensor. Before I spent $450 I wanted to see if anyone knew of some way to bypass completely replacing the hub, and just replacing the sensor.

Thanks

General repair & maintenance will have an answer.

As far as i know unless you get a junkyad hub and knab the abs sensor out of it etc.

The new ones only come as complete assemblys.
