Default Broken Electrical Connector on Wheel Bearing.

I bought a pair of KOYO wheel bearings for my 2007 Lexus LS 460 and they arrived with broken electrical connectors. The company is in Japan and they refunded me my money but don’t want the parts back. Is there anything I can do with these?

Direct connect and don't be surprised if it fails down the road from corrosion etc

It is possible to save it. Identify which wire goes to which pin first and mark it. Solder some wires similar to the wires in the harness (make it long enough to work in the wheel well after you install it on the car) to the pins and protect them with the heat shrinks. Fill the area with the epoxy and let it cure. Cut you connectors off from the harness on the car side. Solder wires to the wires attached to the bearing and protect them with heat shrinks. Make a loop out of extra wire if you have to and secure it with the zip ties. That's it. Just make sure you leave sufficiently long pig tails on the connectors when you cut them off. This way you can splice them back on the car harness down the road if you ever have to replace those bearings again.
