Loosen the lug nuts on one wheel.
Jack up the front of your car.
Place it on jack stands.
Take the wheel off.
Turn the steering wheel to the opposite side of the wheel you just took off, so that you can see behind the brake.
It's a small round magnetic piece held in place with a bolt or two. There should be a wire going to it as well.

Hope this helps. Currently I need the left front sensor, so if anyone wants to sell one to me.....thanks.

It is a small round magnet (looks like 5 quarters stacked on top of each other) held in by a bolt or two. There should be a wire going into it too.

What is this in regards to? Is your ABS light on? Mine has been on for a long time now, since the people at the transmission shop f*cked it up. As far as I know, those are accurate instructions for the speed sensors because that is what they showed me. Anyone else care to comment?

Yeah, the only reason I see for having sensors for both sides is for ABS.

Speed sensor (transducer) is located on the top of the transmission. Standing on the drivers side of the car (LHS) it is almost directly below the oil filter. It has one screw / bolt holding it in and has a loom coming out of it.

What Ghostmax and JDwyer2821 are referring to are the ABS sensors. Two different things.
