Your brakes will still work, but without the tone generator ring your abs will not work

Exactly. Give proper space for breaking and pay attention and you should be fine.

Unhook all the abs **** and then just swap in the new rear but you need new u-bolts.

you could just remove the lines going to the abs and replumb the lines one to the rear and one to each front wheel not very hard to do
