Am needing to replace rear abs sensor but after three hours trying to take old one out my mechanic gave up!! Any body got any tips on removing them please or is it just a case of brute force? Think my mechanic is worried that he could damage my brakes . :mad:
 
take the cv joint out of the hub then grind or break off the wire part then

either knock it through

or drill it out


but since your struggling i would take all the brakes apart if it is the front sensor give more room to work

Not much of a mechanic then,,,,,

I hope you ain't paying for his amazing skills :eek:
 
I had to drill mine out......but i have found that a 17mm open ended spanner will fit inbetween the hub and sensor, you can then prise it out it your lucky.....if not you will have to get the drill on it.........or take the cv joint out.....I could not remove hub nut so went for the drill option.
