I've got a small screwdriver down between the outer case of the sensor and the spring/cage thing, at several points.
All I'm doing is mangling it further.. need some needle nose grips to give it a firm tug. Can't really see what's holding it in place really. It's dark, cold and trying to rain now so I've given up.
Who thought it would be a full weekend to replace an abs sensor!?

Tis a Land Rover kermit

It's the rust that's holding it, just another piece of BMW bad design. If the bush in the hub had been made of Brass or stainless there would be no problem

But brass would add 10 pence to the production run

Took the dash out. Bit of a faff. Will split the matrix out tomorrow and see what is what, although I have already ordered a replacement.

I'm going to put the Nissens 70230 in with 19mm rubber pipes all the way through the bulkhead. I figure it is preventative maintenance.

Stephen was Shim’s best friend. Then he murdered him. Well I say murder but apparently it’s not murder if you just led them to a situation that they won’t survive?

It was more of an abandonment ...........pushed out into the cold..........ignored.

I hope so.

Broke every single ****ing clip trying to get the trim off under the passenger airbag. Not sure what to do about that. Maybe Araldite the damn pins back on in the absence of a TIG welder.

Flossie · Nov 14, 2021

No, you can buy the ring.

Flossie · Nov 14, 2021

So I've read....

Flossie · Nov 14, 2021
