ABS Speed Sensor

Hi Guys

I recently took my 2002 TL to a local mechanic to replace the rear break pads and the front lower control arm on the front right side. When I picked the car up I noticed the ABS, VSA and /!\ lights on. I figured maybe it needed some kind on reset or maybe after a few starts the ABS system would reset but after a couple of days with the lights on and some research I went on and checked all the speed sensors only to realize the front sensor was missing the bolt. I need to know what size is the bolt that holds that sensor so I can fiz the problem? Any help would be appreciated thanks in advance.

make sure to clean the metal surface that the sensor rests on. without that bolt, all sorts of crud and rust accumulate between the two. If the sensor is not close enough to the field ring it won't sense a speed and trip the ABS light.

Why you didn´t go back to the mechanic and retrieve your bolt?
