ABS Problem

91 SE Manual - Whenever it is cold (below 50 F) my ABS light comes on (computer indicates driver side front actuater - 6 flashes). When the light is not on the brakes make a clunky sound. Estimate from the dealer is $800.00. My inclination is to disconnect the ABS or attempt
repairing or replacing actuator. I have searched the forums- nothing similar. Anyone ever tried replacing actuators?

Seriously though, if you are not at least a decent mechanic, just give it to a shop. Or at the very least buy a Nissan shop manual. You will need it if you try this anyay
