Below we will see the instructions that will allow us to disassemble and replace the rear ABS sensor of the Opel Astra. First, we lift the vehicle and start to remove the rear wheel; we find the ABS sensor right behind the brake disc, as shown in the video.

At this point, we disconnect the sensor by unscrewing the fixing screw of the cable, then replacing the ABS sensor with the new one; we correctly reassemble the sensor and finally the rear wheel, resetting any error (using a diagnostic tool) on the instrument panel.
