The first generation Equinox was built for MY 2005-2009. It’s a good bet that’s most of the parts were the same during that time period, especially at the beginning of the generation. Maybe you could rent or borrow an ABS code reader from an auto parts store.

Do you still have the old LR bearing assembly? Take the ABS sensor out of it and transfer to the RR.

LR bearing came off without too much grief but the sensor separated when i tried to pull it out of the steel housing.
