The '87-up [url=https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001H1MQFI]ABS sensor (DY1123, F85Z-9E731-AB)[/url] bolt is like the rear cover bolts: 13mm hex head @ 25-30 lb-ft. The sensor's resistance should be 800-1400 Ohms across the pins, and more than 10K Ohms from the metal shell to either pin. If any VSS problem is suspected, pull the ABS out & look for damage, indicating a serious problem in the diff. For info about how the ABS sensor is used, read these captions & the others in the albums:

Early axles use a yoke with U-bolts that wrap around the rear U-joint caps. Later axles use this companion flange ([url=https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08LTGLWK6]221369[/url]) sized for [url=https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DOI9GFK]51330X U-joint[/url] with 12-point 12mm bolt heads torqued to 80 lb-ft.
