Possible to interchange front wheel hub with ABS on non ABS car?
I've run into a problem after buying a pair of hubs with ABS sensors and the car I was in the process of putting them on doesn't have ABS...
I had everything removed except the hub on 1 wheel before realizing the dang car doesn't have ABS brakes. I was wondering if the ones I bought with ABS sensors would still have enough space to fit, or would there be any way to remove the sensors and still be able to use them without any problems? I didn't want to take it completely off to check and have a car sitting in the air for a week waiting for the right parts.
It wouldn't be such an issue if I would've bought them on eBay from someone who sells non-ABS hubs, and I don't wanna lose the $ on shipping and a restocking fee.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Wait, what? What are you changing? ABS senser usually bolts into the knuckle with the pick up in the wheel bearing or on axle.
Wait, let me think I'm drunk... The wheel bearing/hub is one unit on the front. I just cut the wires. Every thing should be interchangeable.

Thanks for the replies.
I had to cut and pry the sensors off the hubs in order to get them to fit. After doing that, they were an exact match to the stock hubs.
