Default braking problem

Saff cos...with Ap 6pots 355 discs and standard rears.

When braking hard the osf wheel locks up,I tried cleaning calipers out etc.
The abs light does not come on and all the sensors are connected,tyres and pressures are fine, bushes are all new.
I tried removing the abs sensor from the hub but it looked like it would break so I would llike to narrow it down to that before i hammer it out!!



Brakes were fine when fitted last year.


Any Ideas would be well appreciated!!!

What speed does thuis happen at ?
ABS only works above a certain speed, maybe you have a sticky caliper on the other side ?

any speed really,just seems to want to lock the offside wheel.


i will try cleaning both calipers out again.

Other than that could it be the sensor at fault?

Cheers

Can't understand it as the ABS should not allow it to lock anyway, could be a modulator issue(abs) ?
Would not hurt to check all the connections on ABS pump and modulaator block.
