Is it ok to drill out at 11mm diam or use a rotary file to remove it? The sensor is 40mm long but the last 12mm is oval shaped, would I do any damage if I went deeper than that or if I did any slight damage to the walls if filing ? If my 11mm drilling went the full depth of 40mm how would that affect the last 12mm oval?

My local garage has closed so I'm having to try this myself and doing it with the disc etc in situ .
In hind sight I think I should have just cut the cable where it was damaged and soldered a new joint in the hope that it would have worked.....
All advice really welcomed |
Hi Scott
Try drilling a little deeper so you go into the oval by about 6mm then use a wood screw bolts and try to pry it out few photo's below they may help.
Are you at this situation
1
If so drill that little bit more but be careful so you do not damage the bearing.
Drill an hole with 3mm bit use a screw
2
Use a 6mm bit and screw if you have to.
3
Then try prying it out.

Once out either blow out the hole with air line or use an hoover to suck any loose debris out.
This is what the ABS sensor looks like when it is inserted so you can see you can not drill past the point of the inner section wall, as it will damage the ring.
