Default ABS Light Right front

Error code shows the front right sensor. anyone fixed this or replaced it? Autozone guy says maybe just able to clean it. Autozone has never given me much reason to trust their troubleshooting.

Why replace the hub and not the sensor?

The sensor popped because the bearing failed (usually). They are one piece, a new sensor comes with the new bearing. When it first goes you wont really notice any difference but with some time and some miles it will really start to show. You will be able to hear and feel it. Easiest way I know to check the bearing is to Jack the tire off of the ground and try to shake it. If it has any play (you'll hear and feel it) the bearing is a goner.

I stopped at the gas station to full up my truck and as I was leaving my brakes went out and noticed that the front driver side brake line is completely disconnected an there's brake fluid leaking. Do I need to just replace the brake line? My ABS light is on.
